Jam of the Day: Sleigh Bells - "Comeback Kid"
I thought I was over Sleigh Bells. Saw them live three times a couple of years ago, and they milked the album Treats for all it was worth. I was completely and thoroughly over-saturated with it, great album that it is. When their second album Reign of Terror was announced, I sort of rolled my eyes, thinking we'd only get a Treats II. Initially I will say that the album failed to impress me; not because it sounded too similar to Treats, but that Treats was just so striking that the second release would only pale in comparison. After listening to it for a couple of days, I think it is a pretty darn good album. And "Comeback Kid" is definitely a standout track. Brings back the classic Sleigh Bells sound with a much bigger production. Plus it just fucking kicks ass.
