FrancisSMar 15, 2007Slightly more positive than his previous two solo albums, A Brighter Beat is still, on the whole, a fantastically dour listen. The quality of the songwriting is very high; splitting Arab Strap was a very sensible move.

MojoThis is possibly the most optimistic album about depression ever made. [Mar 2007, p.98]

The moments of dark introspection still linger in the album's secluded corners, but overall, 'A Brighter Beat' is exactly that.
