“Exploding Head doesn’t fall into that trap, even as the tone does change every few bars. Unlike their debut album, it manages to showcase new palettes of colors on each track. “Everything Always Goes Wrong†manages to jerk back and forth between sputtering-engines and soaring leads, yanked not only by guitars, but drum work that could be a Roland programmed by chimps. Sheets-of-rain feedback pass through “It Is Nothing,†yet fail to wake the sleepy singing. Dams fill up with sound, and there’s suspense – will the water trickle over the top or will it burst? They harness squealing and roar well enough that when I go back to a track like “(When You Wake) You’re Still in a Dream,†I hear more precision than I did before. “
