New Tegan and Sara 

 I bought the new Tegan and Sara this weekend, called "The Con" (iTunes link)

I must say I like it a lot, but it didn't really contain a lot of surprises.  I'm not 100% sure what I mean by that.  I'm not a Tegan and Sara buff, so I don't know all of their work, but this album, from my vantage point doesn't seem to be a great departure to other work I've heard by them.  That's not a negative in my eyes, it's a solid and 'listen-to-it-end-to-end' release.   I've already been through it 4 times and I suspect it'll be a few more before something else earns the top of my rotation.   

I suspect as I listen a few more times I'll begin to focus on the lyrics more and more and thats where the difference will start to show itself.  So far, the track Back In Your Head is my fav.  "I'm not unfaithful, but I'll stray..."  That line just strikes me for some reason.
