‘Radioactive’ fuelled expectations that the band was returning to raw, south-eastern sounds. Sadly, these hopes are extinguished in a formulaic, overly emotional fifth album. Drearily slow-paced first track ‘The End’ sums up the album perfecty: mellow stadium rock blighted by unsatisfactory tributes to the likes of the Eagles and Don Healey, as heard in ‘Beach Side’, inspired by ‘Boys of Summer’. Caleb’s tiresome vocals spill over complacent lyrics in ‘Pyro’, not forgetting that cringeworthy guitar solo in ‘Mary’. Good tracks include nostalgia-ridden ‘Back Down South’, breaking up the monotony with its sing-along chorus accompanied by a barn dance fiddle, and ‘Radioactive’, which provides much-needed joy to the overall melancholy. But it’s not enough, and disappointingly, the album falls flat.
