While I'd still take it over Challengers, The Electric Version is probably the most confused TNP album. Slightly baffled by the success of his wacky side project with his drinking buddies, Carl Newman threw himself full time into the band...but wasn't entirely sure what to do with it. Most of the album sounds like Newman's old band Zumpano with better production values/musicians or like an attempt to recapture the ramshakle charm of the first album.
Case in point, this blatant (if charming) attempt to write another "Letter From An Occupant"
