Rating: 3.5/5 Let this grow on you

The Rifles – Freedom Run

I will first admit that 'No Love Lost' was one of my favourite albums for a fair old while, "Peace & Quiet's" a particular song that was close to my heart,  I was not so keen on The Great Escape, and to be honest, thought that would be the last we would hear of them.

I was wrong, they're back, or are they, is it actually them?Yes, it is, and it is a very different sound for them, but different is not always bad. In fact, it's pretty good, definitely a grower, I know this first hand, as it has taken me so long to get around to writing this, I've listened three or four times.

A plus for me is the fact I cannot pick out particular tracks as 'top tunes' it's just  a decent album. I should however note that the album can be at times a little Kasabianesque, considering I like most of their material, that isn't a problem for me. The downside is, it's "nice", and "fun", and lacks the energy I am used to from these guys.

In summary, Freedom Run will get quite a few more listens, and will probably get some space as one of my offline Albums.
