Three Fact Fader is an impressive sophomore effort. Engineers have created a winning combination of English pop/rock.
-
They've remarkably managed to raise the bar to a whole new level for an entire genre with Third Fact Fader. A triumph over adversity if ever there were one.
-
The attention to detail where texture and colour is concerned is the crowning glory with the Engineers.
-
If The Horrors' "Primary Colours" is the night out, then Three Fact Fader--Engineers’ follow-up to their 2005 debut--is the sound of the blissful recovery next day.
-
The result is an album that’s catchier than the debut, even as it’s less obvious--one that keeps the uplift and reassurance of their past work while allowing more shades of other emotions (anger, fear, doubt, sadness) to add colour.
-
Depending on how interested you still are by the record's third act, this can be either good or bad. It depends on your taste for disorientation.
-
Regardless of whether or not the band lost whatever career momentum their debut generated, as a piece of music, Three Fact Fader fully delivers on the promise that was left hanging in the air for so long.
