Much fuller sound on this album than the bands debut, which was more piano driven than this one. That could be both good and bad. Picked up one more band member since that debut also. One love track but nothing I don't like making this one come out higher than their first. Some tracks on this one gave me a Killers feel. I really should pick up those 2 I am missing from these guys. Even though this album went to #1 in the UK, it didn't sell nearly as well. In fact the sales for each album have declined from the first. They have already made their mark with that Somewhere Only We Know song. They'll never equal that one.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Black Burning Heart
