| 3.0 good | Tom R. CONTRIBUTOR | July 6th 20 |
There are very few albums from the shockingly devoid-of-creativity mid-noughties NME-pandering British
indie rock scene that have stood the test of time and unfortunately The Cribs are no exception. Their
saving grace however is the fact that they did it better than 95% of their contemporaries, and as such some
good will can still be salvaged. What perhaps set them apart from the Razorlights and The Braverys of the
world is the fact they actually seem to enjoy and have passion for their music. All in all everything here
is competent and for better or worse consistent, rather than just happening onto one catchy track and
slapping a bunch of filler on to call it an album. They trod a little more on the rawer side than their
peers on this album, their most successful and likely best, whilst still retaining a radio slickness to
their sound. Unfortunately, this only carries you so far, and considering the wealth of young, noisy indie
bands we are blessed with today, it all seems rather pedestrian.
