  • They Say...

    The debut album by the Pigeon Detectives, 2007's Wait for Me, was a fairly scrappy, almost punky take on the great Brit-pop revival of the late 2000s, full of refreshingly concise two-minute rockers owing much to the Buzzcocks/Undertones tradition. The follow-up, released barely a year later, was produced by Stephen Street, whose work for the Smiths, Blur, and more recently the Kaiser Chiefs has made him a major figure in the style. The handful of manic sub-180-second rockers here -- "Say It Like You Mean It," "You Don't Need It," "I'm Not Gonna Take This," etc. -- sound more or less like retreads of the band's earlier singles.
