VERDICT: With expectations high in the wake of the just-released and most-excellent Dear Science, TVOTR packed out the Factory Friday night with old-school admirers and newbie acolytes. Ninety minutes later, what was the takeway? Sad to say: Meh. Not sure if it was the muffled, monochromatic mix or the prospect that some bands simply should be heard (preferably in headphones) not seen. Either way, I think we’re gonna need a ‘do-over’ on this one. — JV
