Critical mass, it would appear, has decided that Tokyo Police Club aren't Canada's next Arcade Fire (yet, anyway). One gets the feeling that hardly bothers them, though. If anything, TPC were just happy to finish their full-length debut, Elephant Shell, amidst the massive expectations placed upon it. At a basic level, Elephant Shell is a pretty...
