good debut

After a very promising EP ("A Lesson In Crime") and loads of hype, I was honestly ready to be disappointed by this album. But the truth is the record is good. The edginess they showcased on the EP has slightly been honed off in favor of a more concentrated and streamlined approach, therefore letting their song-writing to really shine, though bombastic moments can still be found especially on songs like "Graves" and "Sixties Remake".
But perhaps the best thing of the album may be the promise it holds of a grander follow-up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

solid 2nd album

After their debut album "Apologies to Queen Mary" dropped in 2005, I have had a very hard time leaving the CD out of rotation.
Needless to say I had high expectations of this album, but in short, it exceeds. They have managed to make themselves more accessible while still maintaining their need to experiment and mix genres all because of their very solid song-writing ability, which shines on about every track.
Like the 1st album? You can't go wrong. For new-comers to Wolf Parade, it could even be worthwhile to start here and work your way backwards.
I would recommend this to a friend!
