The big-beated momentum of yore is bogged down in McClure's new graceless Gallagher sneer and left to stagnate by a band more interested in re-heating anaemic Kasabian-esque psychedelia than building a plinth from which to preach.
-
A French Kiss In The Chaos is neither artistically interesting nor indeed very good.
-
MojoMcClure has since retracted his retirement outburst, and rightly so: a third attempt might make him a contender. [Aug 2009, p.95]
-
In the final reckoning, a solid album is raised a bar by its direct communication, illustrated by the closing 'Hard Time For Dreamers.'
-
Mostly, Jon McLure's against Bad Stuff and in favour of Good Stuff, as well as being dead keen on 90s sounding dance-rock.
-
The Makers' second album is little but clumsily scribbled know-yer-enemy style juvenilia.
-
UncutThis second is a well-crafted collection that finds McClure pondering his place in a rotten world. [Aug 2009, p.102]
