  1. Builds considerable muscle to the skeletal frailty of intricate guitar work while commendably maintaining all which was good of their debut.
  2. It works in the same way that Doves' 'Lost Souls' did; that is, by inviting us to bed down in its sumptuously familiar lyrical folds while offering us a warm mug of Something A Bit Different.

    When they're not straining to be anthemic, Turin Brakes still weave a seductive spell. [#14, p.143]
  4. About as boring as a record can be.

    Proof that bigger can be better. Their sound has expanded, the songs more confident and there are many feeling of real bliss in there. Don�39;t discount it on the first listen. Give Ether Song a few goes and it breathes with you. Expand
