In its own right, The Fear... is an impressive piece of work. As inevitable as comparisons with their previous creations are, they shouldn’t detract from what is by anyone else’s standards a major achievement
-
It tops a fine collection that reveals the kind of production and songwriting progress that every band which treads water should aspire to.
-
Red Sparowes can’t shake the post-rock stereotype--but occasionally they do point the way forward.
-
Fans of the genre will likely find it to be one of the better releases of the year. It seems that Red Sparowes, though, are missing a special part of their sound and it's holding them back from becoming the band they could be and indeed, may well be with a future release.
-
Without fail, The Fear rides that button down to a nub, going so far as to circle back on longer tracks to give the button another unnecessary push.
