UncutConfirms Doves as the country's most innovative rock group. [Mar 2005, p.94]
-
Some of the radio-friendly oompa of ‘The Last Broadcast’ has been cut back, and the new record bears more resemblance to their debut ‘Lost Souls’ in its ashen-faced detachment and bloodied-yet-unbowed pride.
-
Some Cities is easily their best since Lost Souls, and while repeated listens won't likely reveal it better than their debut, it's often equally as hypnotizing.
-
SpinLike Coldplay killing time with the Happy Mondays at Manchester's Hacienda club. [Mar 2005, p.92]
-
Some Cities is not as strong as its two predecessors, but it does continue the band's run of consistently pleasing albums.
-
Suggests a progression and a retreat at the same time.
-
Like most of the cities Doves sing about, these songs are grey, drizzly, often unpleasant, and more often than not... very, very dull.
