Formulaic, very very tasteful chord changes.

Like something from the end of a Sam Pekinpah* film.

Like something from the Wild Bunch, or, dare I say, the Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid OSTs. shifty

Building to an epic crescendo-coda.

Jim O'Rourke-esque jarring final retort.

It is over.

It started and finished strongly but, although it was well performed and produced, the middle of the album felt too safe, familiar and predictable to hold my interest.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Well...

That was nice.

It didn't do anything new - not once or at all, ever - but it was flawlessly pleasant, albeit in a completely hackneyed, predictable, by-the-numbers genre way.

What can I/you say?

I wouldn't collapse and have a fit if it came on when I was doing the washing up.

I'd probably be humming along instead.

Sounds a bit like Florence + Her machine, but less shouty and more banjoish

The first 5 tracks all have videos, have they front loaded this album, as I believe is the fashion of this time.

Track 2,  It's a Shame (Video)

Why did this lot become forum favs anyway? Was it the daft name and the chunky short lass's nose?

This is very pleasant.

It's going to be like this for the whole album isn't it?

Played by James.
There is no one in the band who's called James. Colbert

It's played by all the members of James?
