    Alright, so there's no 'Destroy The Heart', the lyrics are uniformly unremarkable, and the odd track is even, dare we say, a touch ropey... 'Days Run Away' is still better than it's got any right to be, and a marginally heroic homecoming with it.

    Good. Definitely good, but not great. "Kit Carter" is amazing as is "Gotta Be That Way".
