Most of A Certain Trigger's album tracks sound like singles waiting to be discovered.
-
The high points are so fantastic that their missteps are easily forgiven.
-
A Certain Trigger is a strong release from its opener on, though it has noticeable shifts in momentum, with a second, rousing tour de force in its closing tracks.
-
A great little guitar rock record.
-
It remains an awfully good first effort, and the boys clearly have some exciting ideas - not enough to fill the entire disc, but exciting nonetheless.
-
As much as a lot of the tracks are just bluster + accent + guitars, there are some melodies hidden along the way and the bluster + accent + guitars here are better than those pimped by the likes of The Others and Kaiser Chiefs and so on and so forth.
-
As formulaic and boring a rock album as you’re likely to hear in 2005.
