The Orchard is best when Ra Ra Riot integrate plusher production into more natural arrangements. While the rangy, chugging motorik of "Massachusetts" and "You and I Know"'s dusky balladry (sung by cellist Alexandra Lawn) meander, they at least try something new, hinting that The Orchard might be something of a grower. But as soon as they build momentum with The Orchard's most typically triumphant hook ("Shadowcasting"), the ironically titled "Do You Remember" kicks off a final third that fails to leave any impression.

Ra Ra Riot’s debut, The Rhumb Line, was a gorgeous display of melodic rock, supported by a lovely string section and Wesley Miles’ passionate voice. Plus, it also had a lot of damn good songs on it. After the success it brought them, anticipation has been running high for their follow-up, The Orchard. Unfortunately, success may be harder to find this time around. The main problem with this album is its lack of great songs to support their style. Their first album was an energy-soaked ride that kept listeners engrossed, even during the slower numbers. Tracks like Too Too Too Fast and Suspended in Gaffa offered a change in pace that kept you wondering what’s next. On The Orchard, only You and I Know creates that sense of surprise and engagement. The first and last track try to do this as well, but they work better as bookends than as actual songs. Hopefully, this record will come to life on the road
