Another Eternity sees Purity Ring attempting to capitalise on the success of their debut by creating simplistic, predictable electronic anthems - but gets its job done quickly and wastes no time making its point. There's also some commendable work featured here, but the quirks are gone for sure. After the surge of ethereal electronic bands that arrived in the wake of Shrines, Purity Ring's Megan James and Corin Roddick wanted their second album to stand out from the pack. On Another Eternity, they do just that - by becoming more pop.
