The New Pornographers are getting a pretty lukewarm response to their latest effort: Challengers. Pitchfork gives it a 6.0 and Stylus gives it a B- comparing it unfavorably to post-cred Wilco and Shins. It also doesn't help when an enthusiastic four star review compares the album to comfort food: fish fingers and ketchup? I'm inclined to skip it.
I think we all know what the real problem is: needs more Neko!
