    Owen and Hobbs could have just rewritten their debut note for note, but instead they have chosen to take us on a journey that many of us know all too well. Here's waiting for the next instalment.

    Good news for those who loved the debut’s melodies: plenty of material on The Law of the Playground gives that luxuriant pleasure.

    A little less studio craft would have improved The Law of the Playground quite measurably and possibly put it on the same level as Best Party, since the songcraft and performances are nearly equal.
  4. No Ripcord

    Now, there’s nothing wrong with something throwaway now and again, but it’s difficult to stomach over the course of eleven tracks.
