A solid 8/10. The filler is pretty poor stuff (i.e. The Descent and I Think I Found It) but the good songs are awesome (title track and Hazelton Avenue - fuck off anyone who says that one is crap  ). I don't mind Nicky's song too much but I would have preferred if the song was elbowed, used as a b-side (best option) or had James singing it. The album could have been a lot better if a couple of tracks were trimmed anyway but all in all, it's a very good effort and can hold it's head up high alongside their best work.
