"Stay with Us" is a soft interlude guided by a surrealistic sitar line and guttural electronic drones which are reminiscent of "Beaches and Canyons" era Black Dice. Treichler's heavily modified voice slips in and out of the song until finally it finally collapses.
Throughout the album, the band traverses the depths of drawn-out minimalism ("machine arriere") and the vertiginous heights of arena rock glory (the title track) with impeccable finesse. The Young Gods are tuned in to the finer nuances of every style, and it's obvious in their refusal to pander to any genre. "Super Ready" takes many risks, and almost all of them pay off in the end.
This is an album full of miracles. It's a miracle that the Gods can pack such a sheer amount of variety into their songs while maintaining a cohesive listenability. It's a miracle that an album this fuzzed out, off-kilter, and esoteric can still seem so approachable. From the keyboard hiss of "Secret" to the backmasked anthemic guitars of closer "Un Point C'est Tout", somehow none of the songs are overtly frightening or alienating. Not needing to burn out or fade away, The Young Gods have clearly found the secret to aging gracefully.
