    There are echoes of Duran Duran, ABC and more here, but thankfully without the horribly cheap and nasty production values.
  2. Collections constitutes a fairly sharp decline.

    Having been dogged with comparisons to Friendly Fires since their formation, it is ironic that this record perhaps sounds like the kind of misstep that the St. Albans band made themselves with their second album 'Pala'.

    The production drips with gloss, but unlike Acolyte, it’s a gloss that obscures rather than glimmers.

    Collections is enjoyable, in the way that ready meals can be enjoyable, with their sugar hit and empty calories, their disposability and easy consumption.

    Too often, however, songs succumb to the stylings that make bad mainstream pop music garish and annoying rather than uplifting and catchy.

    Collections, their second effort, mislays what little charm Delphic possessed, tilting at the big pop statement in uneven bursts.
