****** Second album syndrome is an unfair term for music in general I think. As for this, it doesn't reach the same heights as its predecessor, but the Fires are certainly back and I'm happy for that fact. It's still a great collection with not a dud in sight. Live Those Days Tonight is the standout, but the likes of Chimes, Blue Cassettes, Helpless, True Love, Running Away and Hawaiian Air should grow on me. Sorry, Those Dancing Days still the album of 2011 but, dare I say, maybe not for long! Full of potential.<br><br>Now it's a 6. Last edited: 04.12.2011 06:59 |
