The Raveonettes, consisting of Danish duo Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo, blazed onto the scene with their boisterous, shredding 2002 debut "Whip It On", shortly thereafter followed by the equally mesmorizing 2003 album "The Chain Gang of Love". Things after that took a decidedly turn for the worse with the baffling 2005 "Pretty in Black" album. The band took a long time to regroup after that disaster, and returned in 2008 with the ok-but-not-great "Lust Lust Lust" album. Now comes the band's 5th album.
"In and Out of Control" (11 tracks; 37 min.) in essence continues the path from "Lust Lust Lust", providing us with more of a mix between beautiful pop hooks and electric noise thrown in just to keep things interesting. Check out "Gone Forever" which starts off with a minute of so of dead noise only to then dive in with a great pop song, as if the first minute didn't happen. "Last Dance" (1st single) is a great song. The second half of the album is actually the more interesting one for me, with such nuggets as "Bearking Into Cars" and best of all, the hard-charging "Break Up Girls!", reminding me of their earliest and most exciting output. At 37 min, this all makes for a quick listen. Overall, in the Raveonettes universe, this feels like a 'safe' album. (Of course, compared to the mainstream music out there, this remains cutting-edge.)
The album I bought came with a bonus EP consisting of 2 tracks (6 min.), containing the upbeat "The Chosen One", which would have been a nice addition to the album proper, and "Planes Do Crash", an unremarkable tune. I've seen the Ravonettes in concert a number of times over the years, and they always shine live, better than their studio output. They'll be coming to Cincinnati in a few weeks in support of the new album, and you bet I will be there. Finally, if you wonder where you can hear this band, check out WOXY (BAM! The Future of Rock and Roll), the internet-only station that brings the best indie-music in the country, bar none.

The Raveonettes kicked it up a notch with their third album LUST LUST LUST. And they're back again with the similarly dark-but-infectious IN AND OUT OF CONTROL At the risk of repeating myself, I'll repeat what I said in an earlier review: "Put a cupful of 1950s rock'n'roll, two tablespoons of 1960s girl group vibes and a sprinkle of new millennium noise pop into a sonic blender and you have the Raveonettes." The echoes of the Shangri-Las are particularly strong in album opener "Bang!" and the catchy "Last Dance." The singalong opportunity diminishes with "Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)." You might agree with the sentiment, but you can't avoid the lyrical awkwardness. Those three minutes aside, the album gets back on track with "Heart of Stone" and the tender "Oh, I Buried You Today." "Breaking Into Cars" is a standout track. "Break Up Girls!" seems to imagine a lost, distorted B-side to "Leader of the Pack." The album closes with the atmospheric and maudlin "Wine," lamenting "Lone/roads/sprinkled/with tears" and a summer that "threw our love away."

Not content to recreate the sonic landscape of their (in my opinion) breakout album, Lust Lust Lust, the Raves have pushed a little harder this time, focusing on the songwriting aspect of putting together an album and putting less time into the noise. Where Lust played like one extended mood, where songs were discernible only in that there was a pause between tracks and maybe a subtle shift in style, In and Out of Control plays much more so as a collection of songs. And songs these are, showing the band's love of '50s girl groups and Phil Spector while still maintaining that signature Raveonettes via the Jesus and Mary Chain sound. Unfortunately, the added focus on songwriting is a mixed bag, as not every song idea turns out to be a real keeper, and I do sorely miss the artistic haze of Lust's swirling mass of distortion. Regardless, there are some killer tracks here, with my particular favorites being "Last Dance" and "Suicide," which not-so-coincidentally sound the most like their last album. They're fabulous slow-tempo rockers, and they have a healthy mix of song structure and gauzy musical goodness. Definitely a record aimed at bringing in some new fans, and certainly more accessible than Lust Lust Lust.

slight change of pace but better overall for it,
I wouldn't say there are any killer singles a la "Love In A Trashcan" or even standout tunes like "Dead Sound" or "Hallucinations" off the last album but I like the direction the... Read more

I have to admit I am one of the few people who actually enjoyed Pretty in Black. It wasn't as good as the band's other albums but it was pleasant. Read more

My favorite - peppy rhythms alongside dark lyrics. Every song is a great slice of pop rock, but with deep, gothic, subjects, like suicide, rape, and drug overdoses - a particular... Read more

What an addictive sound!
Some reviewers have called some of the lyrics "immature" , but with the overwhelming '50 era music influence I think the lyrics are perfect and really cool. Read more

I was vaguely familiar with The Raves o'er the last several years but hadn't committed until now. Consequently I'm kicking myself for having not arrived here sooner. Read more
