Three or four listens in now, and I have to say that the band have achieved the impossible: they've followed up Coming Up For Air with an album that I think may be even better! I'm still getting to grips with it, but early highlights include the title track, Questioning Eyes, Drowning, Clear and - perhaps best of them all - the fabulous The Night Takes You Home, which I simply cannot get enough of at the moment. Run From Yourself is great too - what a great performance (vocally & instrumentally) from Iain! Fantastic stuff.

I have to admit, I really like the more upbeat, rockier feel this time out. They've really upped the ante. Paul & Barry are better than ever, and Liam's evidently provided a great foil for everyone. The Jennings boys are in fine form throughout and Livvy is, as ever, simply amazing! (Cueing the album up again as I type this - I just have to hear it again!)

Album of the year? That remains to be seen, but if it's not, it's not far off. Simply the band's best work to date - well done, everybody!
