Each song on Don’t Get Lost is ultimately concerned with stuffing in as many hooky bits as possible, which often sends the songs in unexpected directions. Take second track, “Human Development,” which contains the elements of a normal pop song — there’s an intro, a verse and a chorus, albeit separated by several other distinct parts. Instead of returning from the chorus to a second verse, the song diverts into a maracas-infused instrument break whose only vocal part functions to bolster the song’s rhythm, not the song’s melody. It’s a delightfully adventurous move that makes the eventual explosive second chorus that much more gratifying.
