This is another fantastic album! It makes me wonder if we are going to have a streak of brilliance, instead of duds! Am I jinxing us?
I loved this album. It was so delightfully British. Although I don't know why anyone would be at tube stations at midnight; don't they stop running at 12:00? Or perhaps I am betraying my own squareness by even asking such a question. In any case, any sign of a mod revival excites me and I definitely got a strong Who vibe from this album.
Personally, I couldn't stop listening to the song "It's Too Bad" but lyrically, all of these songs are brilliant. I suppose it's not a particularly new sound, but it is a damn fun one.
RATING: 4/5
This is one of the few that I listened to before I temporarily shelved this project and remember not caring too much for it. Although I do remember loving English Rose
