'Wanna wake up wanting to listen to records / But those old feelings elude me / I raise a toast to the rock n' roll ghost,' sings Cymbals Eat Guitars front man Joseph D'Agostino on the hyper-adrenalized 'XR,' which sounds like a Tonight's the Night outtake recorded at triple speed, with it's braying harmonica and spitfire vocal delivery. It's the track that perhaps best captures the spirit of the band's third LP, LOSE, one of coping with abject loss and grief by rediscovering what you've always loved, as difficult as it may be - the redemptive power of music.
