On the strength of its free-flowing live shows, Moe has earned a prestigious spot in the jam band United Nations alongside dignitaries such as Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, and Phish. What lifts the Buffalo, New York, quintet above its brethren is simple: expert playing, clean production, and songs that don't drag on forever. The group's 10th album takes another major stride in the right direction, opening with the tight garage rock of "Not Coming Down" and the atmospheric Americana of the title track before settling into a looser, swampier groove on "Okayalright." With the experimental tone set, the group is free to move around the cabin for the duration of the disc and they don't hesitate, dipping into Wilco-like sound collages on "Rumble Strip," bar-band reggae on "Crab Eyes," and slapdash electronic folk on "Bullet." The songs don't always ignite, but the sense of adventure comes through, and that's enough to make this latest twist in the Moe story crucial. --Aidin Vaziri
