Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Hysterical

CYHSY just released a new album after 4 years. And it's great, it's quite a bit different from their previous two albums, but not necessarily in a bad way. I don't think I'd put it up there with the same caliber of their debut, but it's still good. This one feels a bit more melodic, upbeat, and less folksy than the others, and their sound is a lot more akin to that of Arcade Fire circa Neon Bible. That said, my favorite song here is Maniac, followed by Hysterical, and then Same Mistake. I think I'll be hooked on this one for at least a while.
