Cue its fourth self-titled effort, which picks up where the triumphant Everything Will Be Alright In the End (2014) left off; the jaunty metal riffs of Thank God for Girls and Endless Bummer's sun-kissed harmonies are near impossible to resist.
In spite of some schmaltz, and Rivers Cuomo's protracted adolescence (he's 45!), this is a refreshing return to the quartet's beguiling brand of geek mythology.
