    A very strong follow up to the brilliant Music in Mouth. (Un)fortunately for Bell X1 it didn't do as well commercially as it should have and this was their last record on a major label. It marks the closing of chapter one in the Bell X1 story. Highlights are the singles "Rocky" and "Bigger Than Me" but this is strong from start to finish. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likesA very strong follow up to the brilliant Music in Mouth.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes catchy hooks, quirky lyrics and anything that sounds like Talking Heads.… Collapse

    For a group with one of the most unmemorable band names ever, it's funny that it's their way with words that elevates them from wannabe status.

    With Flock, their third album but only the second to get a British release, Ireland's Bell X1 have unearthed the missing musical link - and it's marvellous.

    Flock is a massive step forward musically. Paul Noonan's superb lyrics now have some powerful musical backing, throwing in all kinds of references from disco to funk and good old-fashioned rock.
