Like many E6 albums, Human Zoo does not have one defining sound; rather, it is a sampler plate of the entire history of rock and roll music. Like Motown ... now they are doing Motown. Alone With Your Body is the feel-good necrophilia anthem of the summer, and sees the band embracing this oft-overlooked section of their hometown's musical history. From there we ramble into the spaghetti-western marching-band good times of Gun Rights, the triumphant Disnification of I've Seen Rio in Flames, and the absurd hip-hop of (Who the Hell Just) Call My Phone. But it's not an E6 album until the closer is better than the rest of the record combined. The gorgeous, haunting pop of The Afterlife might be the greatest thing the band has ever done. Ever.
