How do most people hear music currently? Certainly, its not buy buying the actual CD anymore. Most likely its on your iPod (or other assorted DAP), and most likely the owner of said DAP will not have the album art in the file's tags. Album art has lost its significance in association with the music. This is mostly to do with the fact that most artists just leave it to the record label's art department (one could also argue about the disposability of modern pop music, but that is neither here nor there). With Menomena's Friend And Foe, the album art is truly part of the experience. It describes the flow and feel of the album perfectly. Friend and Foe is a whirling experimental indie rock album that takes the listener through the images of the album art. Thoughts, love, things yet to be born, fear, hate, panic all words which describe the album perfectly. Stand out track Wet And Rusting out does any music video released in 2007 as well. The whole album shines as one of the best albums of 2007.
