| X | Musically, Mathias Mental's sophomore disc is a rewarding | X |
| X | collection of glitchy 8-bit dance tracks. Lyrically, it's like a | X |
| X | self-obsessed club kid's blog set to music. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | Teflon Child is at its best when the music dominates ù as it does | X |
| X | on the title track and the driving "Of Boredom," for example ù | X |
| X | and it's at its worst when the melodrama of songs like "Straight | X |
| X | To DVD" and "One Heart Why?" drags the music down to its soppy | X |
| X | level. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | The tracks are strong enough to justify comparisons to fellow | X |
| X | Montrealers like Chromeo and Tiga. But at best, those comparisons | X |
| X | suggest the sort of music Mathias Mental could make with a little | X |
| X | more conviction. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | On one hand, Tiga's impressive production and emotional themes | X |
| X | are blended with a winning sincerity. On the other, the guys in | X |
| X | Chromeo have so much fun doing what they do ù and doing it well ù | X |
| X | that you automatically get sucked into it. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | Mathias Mental seems at home between the two extremes, in the | X |
| X | heart of that "serious or ironic?" zone that's been troubling | X |
| X | listeners and critics throughout the past decade. And in this | X |
| X | case, let's hope the answer's "ironic." | X |
| X | | X |
| X | If lyrics like "Trying to build something meaningful/With a girl | X |
| X | I met online" and "I need a girl that's like a soldier/But all | X |
| X | the girls are just so immature" are serious emotional | X |
| X | outpourings, then frankly, good lord. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | Dance music is a genre in which the lyrics are more superfluous | X |
| X | than usual, and if not for the fact that they dominate the record | X |
| X | too often ù with such an eye-rolling result ù it would be | X |
| X | tempting to ignore them and give the beats the benefit of the | X |
| X | doubt. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | Musically, after all, Mathias Mental's doing fine. Lyrically, | X |
| X | Teflon Child makes a great case for more instrumentals. | X |
