    It was fun at times, with some nice melodic rock songs, but even though they were "transparent", they lacked originality and authenticity.

    It's not a bad album, but it's different from what the band usual do. So It's a Average album.

    Transparency is the sound of a band restlessly searching for a new direction and pulling it off very well.

    The album emerging as willfully lo-fi, bouncing along on cheery electronica while McTrusty's almost spoken-word panic attack showcases his rich Glaswegian vocals. [Feb 2022, p.79]

    The record sags in the middle when the pace dies down (on ‘Haunt’ and ‘It’s Getting Dark’), but ‘Transparency’ never overstays its welcome. It may not produce the “massive hit” McTrusty once pined for, but it’s a sign there’s life in the old dog yet.
