Different Days
Staring at the pictures of the runaways on the wall Seems like, these days, you couldn't run away at all And even if you did, what you got to run... See the rest of the song lyrics

    The Charlatans’ 13th album is grounded on the band’s own indestructible chemistry, Tim Burgess’s exquisitely happy-sad vocals and their ability to juggle melancholy and joy into exhilarating pop songs.

    Enduring, reliable but far from set in their ways. [Jun 2017, p.92]

    A memorable display from a band we need to acknowledge as true greats and it’s a thrill ride from beginning to end.

    Tim Burgess, vocalist, focal point, and main reason behind any persisting interesting in The Charlatans isn't improving anywhere near the rate his band mates are, but that does little to take away from the enjoyableness of Different Days.
  5. 70
    Hardly earth-shifting, there’s little to scoff at on Different Days but, most importantly, plenty to smile about.

    Underneath its simmering shimmer Different Days offers spins on classic pop, electronic soul, and late-night chill. Perhaps it's quiet exploration, but the Charlatans embrace the elastic possibilities of new avenues here, and the results are rewarding.
  7. 60
    With Different Days, though, they seem to have settled into a sort of not-quite-mainstream indie-rock tinted with neo-psychedelic touches.
