RobertsJul 30, 2009Not half as good as their debut album. Adequate but forgettable.

FredR.Jul 28, 2009Saw them open for Snow Patrol and Coldplay in Vancouver and they were excellent. This album is very disappointing compared to their live set. The band rocks much harder and is edgier live.

ScottCApr 27, 2009Disappointing after such an impressive debut. The sound they defined on that first effort has gone missing and if it wasn't for 'Into The Chaos', which is a brilliant track, I'd rate this lower considering the standard they've set themselves.

davewMar 10, 2009A stunning second album that presses all the emotional buttons plenty hard enough to have a strong impact.

A gorgeous, swoonsome album that electrifies and stimulates in all the right places.

Musically, it's all mid-tempo indie-by-numbers, shimmery enough to accompany an scene of upbeat emotion in Dawson's Creek; yet sufficiently credible, as indie so often is, to provide the soundtrack to a montage of trailers in an advert for a new Film 4 season.

They hail from sunny Sydney, but this solid second set cements the Bells firmly in rock's melancholia tradition, echoing the Bunnymen and Tindersticks.
