    "Lights Out, Words Gone" is the only good song. I wanted very badly for the remainder of the album to have the same sound... but the answer is "no". It's too bad, that song is crazy good.

    "Beggars" and "Leave It," are tunes fit for the space age that spans genres so easily that it leaves you wondering what this talented group could create if they grabbed a map and pinpointed exactly where they aim to be going.

    Perhaps its only offending quality is that it's utterly inoffensive; it's likable and overwhelmingly pleasant.

    Bombay Bicycle Club's 2011 album A Different Kind of Fix is a melodically compelling work that builds upon the band's eclectic guitar-based indie rock sound.
