    Anna’s greatest strength is the same thing that makes or breaks most examples of popular music: solid, consistent songwriting.
  2. Anna falls frustratingly short of hitting the back of the net.

    Die-hard fans can rest assured that the band have certainly not gone rave but, sadly, there’s really not a great deal to rave about either.

    Ultimately, Anna is something of a return to form after Falcon, but still lacks the spark of the Courteeners' early days.

    Other than the limp "Money," they ["Lose Control" and "Push Yourself"] pull these off pretty well--they're certainly more memorable than bog-standard guitar anthem "welcome To The Rave." [Mar 2013, p.69]

    ANNA is strategic in its experimentation, but represents a fairly dramatic departure from its makers’ brand, so hats off to that.

    Anna is full of uninspired and recycled riffs starkly illuminated by the God awful woe-is-me-I’m-northern lyrics.
