Damn, I can't deny the facts. But I can stubbornly act as if I have amnesia...

Sputniksville... If you looking Pitchforksville, you still have another 500 miles to go.

Don't keep us in suspense Adam... My money is on "juxtapose" or "wunderkind"

I was banking on resplendent.

I think half of my reviews have "resplendent" popping up in them.

Don't break a promise now Alex.



Oh, I use "penultimate" a lot Adam. It's better than "second last" or "track 9". This is the first time I have used "resplendent" though.



Not yet LG. Will get to it though as I liked the EPs.

"an individual's face and restore his or her faith..." might be correct instead, but we both know I'm not one to talk haha

Great pick up Jared... & unlike me to make such a sexist error. I feel ashamed... All the female Sputnikers can throw rocks at me for 30 seconds starting now... Still waiting... Still waiting.



Hoping you like this mate.



And btw, I had an awful time ordering the top 5 tracks. I'm certain many will have either 'Hunters' or 'Lung Full of Light' as their highlights.

I just realized I had "their" when I thought I had "his". So I take back the previous sexist comment. That said, I agree it reads better the way you stated Jared. Changed now.

Careful, I have a theory about getting to like remixes too early... They tend to make the album a bit of a letdown. Remixes always come later for me.

I just listened to the original and it's very very good. I'm not one for female vocals but I'm really loving this a lot.

All aboard the Parades bandwagon... Or should that be Parades parade.



She (Rebecca Shave) is not even a member of the band! She sings on enough songs on this album that she should have been though.

Since you asked, then I have to answer. She (Bec Shave) is apparently in a situation where she is studying and (since the album has been released) told the band she can no longer tour around with them.



So, the quartet have gone out and got 2 other female singers (Alyx Dennison & Freya Berkhout) to cover for her. One or both of them actually sing on this album, but only backing vocals on 'Loserspeak in New Tongue'. I don't think they are technically part of the band now, but that may change soon enough.

Thanks for the info, though I should have googled to save you the work (sorry about that). I gotta respect a woman who it takes two more to fill in the shoes of haha. I'll come back with a rating in a day or two. I appreciate you reviewing this a lot.
