Opener (and new single) “Different Colors” feels very of-this-moment and modern rock-y. I added it to my collection begrudgingly to learn the single for our cover band, and after one listen it became the first LP to supplant 1989 in the “unadulterated pop perfection” category that the most earwormy albums scratch for me. They do it again and again on Talking Is Hard. I’m terrified for them, because it’s clear they did it intentionally. A “867-5309” or a “Jessie’s Girl” or “Take Me Home Tonight,” an exuberant male anthem of sudden and unrequited affection that might not last past its consummation, complete with a shimmering and anthemic chorus and a quick solo into a refrain. Let’s be honest – “Shut Up and Dance With Me” is absolutely that kind of song. I am terrified that Walk the Moon are going to be a one-hit wonder.
