There are a lot of good songs on 'Break The Banks' such as the acoustic led single 'Paper Street', the Bloc Party-esque 'North Sea' or the none-more-Morrissey-like throwaway pop ditty 'History'. There are some weak moments too, however. Opening drum heavy track 'The Longest Time' seems to spend the longest time looking for a hook, but never finds one. 'Sit With Me' is utterly pointless and grates somewhat. But then you have 'Negotiation' which is a simple and hauntingly beautiful ballad and the closing track 'The Other Way', which is perhaps the highlight of the album with it's slow-burn build up and alluring lyricism.rIn the end, it's good pop record. But nothing more.
