Even though this band bubbled up at damn near the same time they were probably pretty taken with Echo and the Bunnymen’s Crocodiles. However, I’ve never heard Sad Lovers & Giants before. I’m interested in the records they recorded before this and plan on exploring their discography. It’s also got me thinking I need to freshen up on my Banshees. Sad Lovers & Giants have the important elements on display here. Quality song writing, interesting and enthusiastic and talented contributions from the entire band, very strong lead vocals and engaging catchy tunes. I feel bad for missing out for so long. Another MB game lifter- WWWP shines a light. I’m going to say 8/10 although it might be higher. It takes more time for me to know and cramming in multiple listenings doesn’t work with me.
