    A constantly and unexpectedly thrilling comeback from a resurgent band who have upped their game when it matters the most.

    Killer Sounds feels like a missed opportunity. [Oct 2011, p.120]

    Set against jarring synths, the macho, sexualised lyrics sound seedy--or worse, menacing--and what prosaic hooks exist are obscured by the dirge.

    The whole album is absolutely over-the-top, which is probably what I love about it. It is my most listened to album ever on my iTunes (and I listen to a lot of music), which is enough praise in itself. You can hardly stop to take a breath as they bang out massive tunes like the epic dance number 'FIre In The House', the bonkers citar-infused 'Feels Good' and the sensual, heavily-synthed 'Sweat'. 'Love Song' sounds like it could top the charts, given the chance. The only dip in quality is the title track at the end, but it's still hard not to listen to it. It's a shame this album didn't do as well as their debut, but I hope all the fans recognise the quality of this record and continue to support Hard-Fi because if they continue making high quality music like this they can hopefully end the undeserved dip in their career.… Expand
