    For a record that could've gone in one of two directions, it manages the neat trick of going in both.

    Replacing buoyant guitars and boy-girl dilemmas with dark themes of religion, parenthood and death, this [album] is a bridge to grittier material, albeit that with a glittering pop-rock handrail. [Nov 2011, p. 143]

    One can only wonder how Sinners Never Sleep would have fared had it been more consistent. [Nov 2011, p.98]

    You Me At Six (for those of you that don't know) comprises of Josh Franceschi (vocals), Max Helyer (rhythm guitar, vocals), Christopher Miller (lead guitar), Matt Barnes (bass) and Daniel Flint (drums, percussion), and are a British rock band who formed back in 2004.

    Sinners Never Sleep (the band's third studio album) was released on October 3rd 2011, and reached number 3 in the Official UK Album Charts, which is much higher than their previous releases â    … Expand

    Its a good album. The songs are generally well constructed, although the whole ''heaviness'' of the band that they try to convey on the record is achieved after the first two songs (Oli Sykes has a wasted cameo on track 3, we already get the picture) and the prison theme is a bit tiring after a while (unnecessary boring concept/theme/idea). However as a collection of songs they are mostly impressive, though some retain the pop-punk influence of their previous releases. I personally like this album, it did however take several listens before I paid any attention though.… Expand

    Totally devoid of any creative thought, this album is factory made for your local 'alternative/modern-rock' radio station. Bands like this are so formulaic I have to wonder if there is an algorithm somewhere that produces these songs. If so, Anonymous, would you mind destroying the computers responsible for this offense to rock?… Expand
