This is my second War on Drugs CD after the live recording ('Live Drugs'). The live recording is definitely better (hence my rating of 'Better than expected' rather than 'Amazing', actually 'Somewhat better than expected' - I had read reviews, largely uncomplimentary, but felt that they won't have dropped off so much from the live tracks). They are a live band - and the live compilation features the best tracks of their previous repertoire (so really a 'best of' with a tendency towards the more upbeat). This recording contains several rather more mellow tracks. The title track is a stand out; the involvement of Lucius adds support to the vocals not evident elsewhere and the female voice could and should be utilised in later recordings. I personally like 'Wasted' in that it moves at pace and is a 'band' recording, which in my eyes is the strength of the band (the drummer is exceptional), I am rather less enthusiastic about some of the 'vocalist and accompaniment' tracks which have a tendency to drift in my opinion. I have this CD for some weeks now and I am glad I waited before reviewing it. It has grown on me somewhat, I would have given it * * * after the first few plays. Maybe in another month it would rank higher. but somehow I doubt it.Read full review
