    Tribes have roared back fiercer than ever.

    Ecstatic, raucous, spine-tingling and delivered in the only way they know, Baby is a piece of Tribes for their devoted followers to hold onto.

    It's wholly derivative, yet the tuneful, instantly gratifying choruses often trump one's desire to play spot the influence.

    Baby feels more like a leftover relic from the '90s than the game-changer the genre needs.
