as mentioned in other previews there are great songs, exciting with the first hearing - others you will love after a couple of times and some songs which are weaker. But this is no inovation of this album: Boxer Rebellion make great songs embedded in weaker ones.
Five stars for this album. It reminds me of Keane, The Walkmen and early Interpol, along with their own musical proclivities. I've listened to this album more times than any other album since Frightened Rabbit's Midnight Organ Fight.
One of the best albums I have heard in the last year. For an unsigned band, I was completely surprised by the maturity of their sound. Well-crafted, infectious highly melodic, guitar-driven rock. Every track is solid and memorable. Recalls Editors, Interpol and the Cinematics.
They have expanded the horizons and improved from their debut a few years back, check out the first 2 tracks, then continue...
I came to this band from a recommendation by a mate. If you like the National and that style you should love this album. Some very strong songs, opening two tracks very good.
Some great songs. A couple weak tracks but otherwise a great album.
