    While the music is eclectic and teeming with exotic textures, it always feels coherent and easy to love, and might even earn the band a nomination as Britain's Best Pop Group.

    An album of both phenomenal concentrated bits, as well as some disappointing gaps.
  3. Drowned In Sound

    It seems they've not only gone and made that sensible and mature fifth album that every band past their sell-by date inflicts on their effervescently loyal fans, they've actually made a record that would be more appropriate in an old folks' home than your local indie niterie.

    Bland, boring and soulless rip-off of late period Beatles. Snore, snore, snore.

    Incredibly disappointing from a band who used to be so exciting. Bland. One or two moments where you can tell that there is a good songwriter there. They need to work harder if they are to achieve anything else in their career. Complete lack of effort from a moribund band. I really hope they prove me wrong...… Expand
