THIS buoyant offering from the Dublin three-piece maintains one pace throughout 11 songs.
Every track on their fourth album has a sing-a-long, feel-good factor created to delight their pop-rock fans, who will not be disappointed. The album’s title track No Sound Without Silence hints at the hidden problems within the music industry, but that is about as clever as this album gets as each song blurs into the next.
While it is slightly enjoyable and uplifting, the music and songwriting is indistinguishable from the opening No Good In Goodbye to the closing Howl At The Moon. Even someone with as much musical talent as a chair can hear the band is churning out the same few chords track after track. Superheroes, the album’s debut single, peaked at number three in the UK charts and other like-minded songs will do similarly well, but this is by no means a classic.
While it will go down well with the band’s loyal fanbase, that cannot disguise the fact this could have been written by any pop act on the planet.
