    If you liked Someone To Drive You Home, you are probably going to be disappointed. The change in styles is very uncalculated and there's almost nothing "pop" about this album. Rather boring and it literally brings a tear to my eye with how good Someone To Drive You Home was.

    Truly awful not just by comparison to someone to drive you home. just generally. there's not urgency, no sex appeal, absolutely no emotion. just loads of posturing. check out rilo kiley's under the blacklight for a much better pseudo-fleetwood-mac execution.

  1. Delusions of Adequacy
    80
    In lyrics and music, The Long Blondes have managed to put out a sophomore album just as addictive and catchy as their debut "Someone To Drive You Home."

  2. Drowned In Sound

    With Couples they've managed to turn two years of inter-band heartache into an ambitious, forward-thinking pop record that tops their debut by quite some distance.

    Eloquent, glamorous, spirited and now more sonically innovative than ever, the quintet have affirmed their place as one of Britain's most exciting bands with this release.
