Don’t ‘pick up’ latest from LA quartet

Silversun Pickups received a lot of critical acclaim after releasing their debut, Carnavas, in 2006 for the mere fact that they were trying to revitalize the old Smashing Pumpkins sound. However, Carnavas was a success in theory more than in practice, and the hype surrounding the group was more focused on their potential than their achievements. On their follow-up, this year's Swoon, Silversun Pickups falls short of delivering on their promise by failing to capture the spirit of Smashing Pumpkins again, instead producing a sound unique only for its mundanity.
