Tweekend (2012)

On 1997's ''Vegas,'' the Crystal Method's whirring, soul flecked big beat was such a kick even the Gap employed one of its cuts in an ad. Their overdue second album, Tweekend, offers more of the same -- nice if one wants to hear gummier variations on the first disc's ''Busy Child,'' but not so interesting if one expected something fresh after such a long time. The slinky vocoder raveup of ''Over the Line'' breaks the monotony, but charmless, clubfooted collaborations with ex Rage guitarist Tom Morello and Scott Weiland make this a semilost ''Tweekend.''
