    Stirratt and Sansone combine this all into a scrumptious hotpot of classy, classic songwriting, rich in texture and flavour. [Feb 2014, p.111]

    Fifth isn't much of a title, but the music is something very special, and this is one of the smartest and best-crafted pop albums of recent memory.

    Fifth falls in line on both counts, highlighted by the wistful, contemplative power-pop anthems “None of This Will Matter” and “Things on My Mind” but also lined with a lot of forgettable folk-tinged Middle of the Road rockers, the latter swirling together in a nondescript sea.
