Quite a grandiose claim to make, though I'm sure it's one made with tongue firmly in cheek. Even at that, what I hear on this album so far is nothing particularly illuminating or new. Just sounds like a lot of other indie rock bands I've heard and up to this point anyway nothing has stood out, though we are only three tracks in. It's not bad, just nothing special. Okay then, “Little Silver Cross” is pretty damn fantastic, and the next track too, with its Lizzy-inspired guitar riffs, has a lot going for it. Maybe this is getting better. They go all Quo then for “Crystal Pistol”, which is interesting, and the kind of heavy rock vibe remains for “Tell Me”. Yeah, definitely got better as it went on. Slow start, but a good progression from a meh album to a pretty decent one. Not sure I'd give them the award the title asks for, though!
