    Each of their albums so far has been misleading because none of them have really caught what Embrace are about properly, who they are. This New Day, warts and all, finally does that.

    This New Day is an excellent companion to Out of Nothing, with only a slight drop-off in quality.

    Live, there's little doubt, these tracks will find their own groove and grow, but here they're like show dogs, primped and primed and hard to love.

    An album so overblown yet inspiration-free as to be worthy of national shame.

If you're a fan of Embrace, then you are indeed smiled upon by the Gods.… Expand
