Good, but not their best.

Review Score: (8/10)
I have been an Oingo Boingo fan since the 80's, and I've enjoyed Elfman's musical talents (songwriting and music scores). I have almost every album by the group, by Danny himself, or any side groups by the band, ie. Food For Feet. I must say that I was somewhat disappointed with this album. The lyrics are very good, as Elfman has always been very creative and seemingly above and beyond the normal realm of thinking. I just feel that this album lacked the intensity and commitment of previous albums. I also missed the "horns" that seperated Boingo from the mainstream. I believe in a band maturing and exploring different areas of their musical ability and this type of maturing can be seen in "Dark At the End of the Tunnel", which I feel is probably their best album. The album is good, but it just seems to lack the true Boingo-esque quality.
