They are back, and once again they do NOT fail to deliver, opening with the Beatle roll of 'There Goes My Heart', made all the more sugary by the pompous, breezy chorus, 'Fly Away' also somehow conjures images of the Fab Four of the '60s, mesmerising with their summery carelessness, providing the listener with a kaleidoscopic view of decades before, yet also their own brand of rock 'n' roll wonder. Then , 'The Beast' becomes an almost '80s hair- anthem and then become caressed by 'Your Heart's No Good...',a sweeping, soft brush of musical genius, how do they keep coming up with faultless pop-rock songs ? 'What Can I Do ?' has a Bowie feel to its swagger, 'Suicide' is a ballad that wallows in self-pity, Donnie Vie reaching into the depths of his soul to whine out this desperate appeal. There's so much variety to savour here, just let yourself go with it, it'll be the best vacation you've ever had.
