Music

Are You Normal? shows the band scaling back on the dual-bass, "punk-pop"-informed grebo sound of their debut album in order to "let the dynamics of the basses soak through the rush of power chords that dominate their early work."[5] It also shows the band beginning to work with electronics, sampling and "ultramodern production" that the band would later continue to explore in their later work.[5] Allmusic said the result is "an almost bouncy, bright album, full of great hooks and lyrical cleverness."[5]
