For their fifth full-length release, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists met up with Brendan Canty (Fugazi) to iron out a new set of anthems that arrive with a confident and outspoken immediacy. With Living with the Living, Ted and Co. wipe clean the slate that once held names like Weller, Strummer and Bragg and indulge some of their farthest-reaching musical ambitions.

Along with the punk sound and energy found in Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' previous works, Living with the Living finds soul, funk and R&B injected into the trajectory of Chris Wilson's dexterous percussion, Dave Lerner's bedrock bass and an onslaught of combustibles from Ted's possessed fingertips.

Best Album Ever. I guarantee it.

It's been three long years since Ted Leo last put out an album in Shake the Sheets, and with Living With The Living it appears that he's trying to make up for lost time. These 15 tracks (not including the bonus EP) sprawl over more than an hour and make the most eclectic sounding album of his since his masterpiece, The Tyranny of Distance. Ted manages to bring Reggae, Soul, Pop, Hardcore and Who-like rock together along with his own brand of literate punk for an overall great collection. Though there are still many political songs, the album is far more personal and diverse than Sheets. This is essentially a double album which means that though a few low points slip in, the many interesting high points more than make up for it. Overall, Ted Leo is a unique voice in modern music who manages to make literate, relevant music that is still incredibly catchy and vibrant - do yourself a favor and buy this album.
