  • Given today’s tiresome, perky-pop hegemony, we almost admire any band whose love of The Cult is so blatant. Almost. The second album from this young Leeds lot shows their muse as terribly conflicted and confused, exhibiting as it does both U2 and Verve tendencies, while the juddering, anthemic title track fetches up somewhere between The Prodigy, Kasabian and latter-day Stone Roses. Co-producer Youth adds a vital, dark tuffness, but such angsty expression is frankly well past its sell-by date.

    This review is truly terrible. Firstly you clearly haven’t done your research as this is The Musics 3rd album. Secondly it sounds like you haven’t even listened to the album as you have not even “reviewed” any of the individual songs.

    Again, this is their third album. They are not influenced by any bands you referenced. A better review would have been appreciated. Not biased, not apathetic- better.

    This review is abysmal and completely inaccurate. I suggest you research the band properly before you run your mouth off. I don't think any music can be described as "past its sel by date". Its music not a pint of milk!!!!

    It is also Flood and not Youth who produced the album! Great research
