On World\u2019s Best American Band<\/em>, Kentucky\u2019s White Reaper has smoothed over its sound, pivoting from garage rock to a more classically-aligned style.\u00a0Standouts like \u201cJudy French\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and \u201cCrystal Pistol\u201d<\/a> show the band operating in its usual hook-filled wheelhouse. Though most songs here simply sound like the other ones, in no way is that a bad thing: This is effortless rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, perfected\u00a0\u2014\u00a0music made to sit outside and sip beers to.<\/p>\n
