Another letdown

Review Score: (4/10)
Even though "Virgin Suicides" was a huge disappointment, I resigned myself to believing that Air just wasn't quite ready to begin scoring films (although it probably seemed like a good idea in theory). I hoped for a return to form on their next studio album, but while you can hear slight echoes of Moon Safari all over this CD, sadly, none of these tracks even come close to anything on that brilliant debut. In fact, having recently listened to Safari again to see if I had misjudged Air, one can only ask: where is Beth Hirsch when we need her most?
