| Unfortunately, I thought I was going to like Alien more than I did. The ideas here are intriguing and the experimentation shown across these eleven songs offers an interesting route forward for the band, but the execution falls flat. |

| Twin Atlantic Great Divide |
Twin Atlantic's Great Divide is a polished, sugary sweet faint attempt by these Scots to land on the airwaves
both at home and across the pond. Tracks like the pretty, piano driven "Ones That I Love", the poignant and
tender "Be A Kid", and the rowdy "Actions That Echo" capture the most attractive parts of the band's charming
brand of alternative rock. However, tracks like "Heart And Soul" and "Brothers And Sisters" come across
sickeningly sweet and feature cliche lyrics that are sure to induce an eye roll or two.
While the record still maintains some of the snappy, creative songwriting found on the band's past releases,
listeners are left in an awkward position listening to a once fresh sounding band subtly caving into the
homogenous trends and songwriting tropes that surround them. It remains to be seen what will happen to
Twin Atlantic as they begin to cross the great divide. Hopefully they won't lose themselves in the process. |
