A messy change of pace after Fair Warning. The time-honored power struggle between singer and guitarist reared its ugly head here with an insanely diverse mix of pop, metal, disco and ’60s covers. Spliced alongside a turbo-driven dust-off of Roy Orbison’s “(Oh) Pretty Woman” came a synth-spiked shimmy through Martha & the Vandellas’ “Dancing in the Street,” along with a positive grab bag of heavy metal, Spanish guitar, a cappella, another Kinks song and a cameo by Alex and Eddie’s father on clarinet. Interesting.

STANDOUT TRACKS: “Where Have All the Good Times Gone?”,“(Oh) Pretty Woman,” “Dancing in the Street”
