    Silver Bullets is the revival of a sunken beauty and extends to the problems of today's world. Hope revives the album in his melodic sounds of guitars and keyboards and the warm voice of Martin Phillipps. Therefore he is forgiven that it took such a long time before a new album reached the surface.

    Income inequality and class warfare, intolerance and love--arguably the heaviest subject of all--are dealt with firmly and frankly, couched in Phillipps' timeless, jangly melodies. [No. 126, p.52]

    Minor niggles aside though, Silver Bullets is a solid and rewarding return to the fray for The Chills which patient followers will wrap their ears around gratefully.

    One skippable track makes for a slight mark against an otherwise strong return to the world. After decades of teases, EPs and live stuff, a few good singles would have been satisfying, but with a quality album, it’s certainly nice to have the Chills again.
