Play 90 second soundbite of 'Acrobat' @ 'CD quality'
'Acrobat' is nicely diverse and positively refuses to stay in one genre place for longer than necessary; one minute you're treated to simplistic pop complete with tootin', boppin' synths, the next you're blown away on a rip-tide of classic, bordering on anthemic, rock riffs.
