    [Starsailor] sounds more confident than ever.

    'Silence Is Easy' is non-challenging "pretty pretty" music for early-ageing types who might recoil at anything without an acoustic guitar and tomtoms.

    This is a pompous, blandly histrionic album, faintly monumental in its drabness.

    'Born again' lifted me from my not-another-weekday/career-crisis blues when it graced my shower radio with its presence- thankyou starsailor-there is hope!… Expand

    fairly boring, fairly one-paced, fairly uninvolving, buy the song silence is easy on single or download but don't bother with the whole album..
