Dear Science is probably the closest TV on the Radio have ever come to a pop record. Some of the songs on here could fit in between Maroon 5 and Beyonce and no one would realize how different this band is compared to those two.
I don't imagine they'll be releasing anything like it again, because none of their records have sounded 100% alike.
The weird thing about TV on the Radio is that while they have a unique sound, there isn't really anything identifible about it that makes you realize it's them within 5 seconds of hearing a song, beyond perhaps Tunde Adebimpe's voice.
