Review/Opinion


I will keep this short, as I have over 50 albums to catch up on.


I rubbished this album the first time I listened to it, which was 7am on a Thursday morning. I have since seen a few tweeters raving about it, so I decided to give it another go, listening on a Sunday evening at 10pm, it seems a completely different album. It's an easy listen, one to stick on whilst sitting down to relax.


I like the music, but the lead singers voice does occasionally begin to grate on me.


I have not looked up any background information on this band, and probably won't. I will however, give this a few more listens, just to see if it is a grower.
