Basic Story: The Danish duo, Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo, are back with the domestic release of their fourth album featuring two North America-only bonus tracks.
Sample: "You're too stupid and sissy-like to say that you want out/ you make the eyes of a million girls and think you'll make them shout/ dead sound."
Verdict: Like the bands Clinic or The Strokes, The Raveonettes aren't too keen on going beyond the bounds of their trademark sound. To the passing listener, Lust Lust Lust might cause frustration, due to what seems to be an unwillingness to experiment. But not every band is meant to pull a Kid A, and it's best to just accept not only that, but also that the music world will always need a pretty duo with a knack for fuzzy guitar melodies. The Jesus and Mary Chain may have reunited but The Raveonettes have already filled the void.
