Review: My Morning Jacket - Circuital

Well, it's been twelve, yes, twelve years since The Tennessee Fire was released by My Morning Jacket. While it'd be normal for anyone to be skeptical of a band making an album after being dormant in the studio for so long the skepticism can be left at the door here. My Morning Jacket take the opportunity to create a truly fun, great album with 2011's Circuital. My Morning Jacket are no stranger to experimentation in music and this album is largely a testament to the diverse sound they continue to create, from alternative country, to southern rock 'n roll, to hell... even power pop on this newest album. Because of this diverse amount of sounds it's really hard to say what's wrong with the album Circuital. Each song is a real statement that lets the listener know that My Morning Jacket are diverse in their musical style while staying still fun and relevant. Perhaps the most interesting track is "Holdin' on to Black Metal" which is an eerie, soulful tribute to black metal. The children's chorus makes the entire track that much more worth it. The latter half of the album comes off as an incredibly chilled out rock 'n roll sound. "First Light" and "Movin' Away" are perhaps some of the better closing tracks from this album. All in all, fans of My Morning Jacket will have a fun time listening to Circuital while still acknowledging that Z was a superior album. However that isn't to say My Morning Jacket is onto something here.

All in all, the album is a really kick ass rock 'n roll or alt. country album with killer touches of soul and pop. It's a great direction for a great band, and to me it's an easy 8/10.

Available Tuesday, May 31st.
