I really enjoyed the previous Inhaler album so was looking forward to this one. It didn’t disappoint but I have to admit it didn’t blow me away either. It’s 45 minutes of good soft-rock guitar band music with competent production and an encouraging feel. However, it’s all very similar, there are no highs and lows through the piece, and I just couldn’t help feeling how very similar to The Killers it all sounded. Not a bad thing because the Killers are great, but maybe lacking in their own identity a little.

I really liked this album. I think I heard a track a while ago and was keen to hear more, and that was before learning the lead vocalist is Bono’s son. That just adds to the intrigue. Listening to the full album, it struck me first that it sounds like the kind of music you’d imagine U2 making if they were just starting out now, and secondly the vocals do sound quite similar to Bono. But not in a way that is copy-cat, more in a way that is continuing the family line… a positive thing. I loved it!
