5.0 out of 5 stars Beg, steal or borrow, July 30, 2006

By	T. Panter (Northants, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beg, steal or borrow this EP, it is rather incredible! This track really reinvigorated the electronic soul inside me, which has been lost since the release of their first album. Their debut album was marvelous and this really doesn't dissapoint. It certainly bodes well for the dreaded second album syndrome which they soon will be facing.

The track pulsates with rhythm and power. The track bulges with electronic buzz right from the off and only slows for a moment towards the end of the song which if anything only builds up suspense for the final heart pounding 40 seconds. The wildly catchy chorus will echo for days after. The epic flourishes from the violins and exclamations from Tom "stop...we're all wasting away" really contrast the beating, pounding verses and give this song a thouroughly distinctive touch. There is a tremendous depth to the music behind the lyrics which really becomes apparent on further listenings.

This band is a truelly classy act and undoubtedly the most exciting thing happening in the UK music scene at this moment. The shock above all that this song gives is that there is certainly room within this band for them to, god forbid, supass their debut album... Now that truelly would be a feat!

3.0 out of 5 stars nice track but not spectacular either, July 27, 2006

By	techmannn "techmannn" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I just read on the band's official website that the lead guitarist/keyboardist quit the band after recording the 2nd CD. That doesn't bode well for this CD. Hope its good but more likely the band couldn't get along and it will show in the quality of the tracks....
