Music

Not quite as good as 2003’s magnum opus ‘Phrenology’, ‘Game Theory’ is certainly a return to form after last year’s lacklustre ‘Tipping Point’. They really know how to deploy killer pop-funk samples (Kool & The Gang, Ohio Players, Sly Stone, Jackson 5), while a politicised anger gives focus to their expanding avant-rock palette; the Portishead-ish ‘Atonement’ features a sample of Radiohead’s ‘You And Whose Army’ while ‘Livin’ In A New World’ sounds like a particularly eerie Beck.
