We Are Scientists :: "Rules"

We Are Scientists return with a pure hybrid of their last two records. With the punk and garage influence of their debut sublimated in the context of the bass-heavy and (was it really?) Duran Duran influence of their second album, We Are Scientists appear as exactly the alchemists they've always supposed themselves to be on record number three. On "Don't Stop," the band finds a flicking arrangment that metacizes into a stomping and immediately familiar chorus. It isn't "After Hours" and it isn't "The Scene Is Dead" but it is the first glimpse at the band's third record where rules, aparently, are not a problem.
