    Must say I was disappointed with this album. Sounds sort of like "saturday looks good to me" but not nearly as good. AMG gave this a review and stated that it was one of the best indie albums in the last decade. Sorry but this indie album sounds like every other "indie" group. When did indie become a musical style rather than a music genre. Why does every indie group sound the same, what Must say I was disappointed with this album.

Sorry but this indie album sounds like every other "indie" group. When did indie become a musical style rather than a music genre. Why does every indie group sound the same, what happened to groups like make-up, pavement, sleater kinney. Those groups were unique when they came out. Now this is not a bad album by any means, but this type of "indie" music is being done to death and lacks creativity in my opinion, and is nothing fresh or new to a indie style of music that become too generic. I can compare it to nirvana, when nirvana came out of bunch of imitators came out and all that type of rock became known as alternative, while as alternative was originally deemed as music that was different, low-budget, almost like how indie music was 3 years ago. If you want to a hear a better album of similar style listen to essex green's new record "cannibal sea," songwriting is a lot better than camera obscura's too.… Expand

    Deeply romantic and just as melancholy.

    Campbell's voice is a gorgeously mellifluous one, aching at the heart of Country Mile, but sweetness gets monotonous, and the album could do with more jolts of bitter energy, like Lloyd and If Looks Could Kill, to liven it up.

    Though they haven't changed much in the span of three terrific albums, Camera Obscura no longer recall Belle & Sebastian; they only sound like themselves.
