Thoughts

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.

Rating: 3 / 5
