Q MagazineSlipway Fires requires more of your time and duly rewards it. [Dec 2008, p.120]
-
If the odd clunker remains ('Hostage Of Love' could be a Meatloaf out-take) Slipway Fires largely sees a return to the introspection of debut album "Up All Night."
-
It aims at U2, but winds up a ringer for their less-celebrated countrymen.
-
Enjoying Slipway Fires requires a suspension of disbelief, a conscious separation between the band's past and the somewhat ludicrous present.
-
Most of the time, the lyrics are vague and unformed, and when they aren't, the band's lyrical details seem too singularly British to translate.
-
Slipway Fires is preposterous, and in a way I actually wish I liked it more.
-
The rest of the band, a soulless cooperative between Sweden and the U.K., does their best to back him up, issuing rote, lifeless rock tracks that build appropriately to fist-pumping peaks, but it's Borrell's vocals that press this album past mediocrity into embarrassing territory.
