Album Notes & Community Reviews

Standing as the magnificent final album recorded by the original, profoundly inventive four-piece lineup, 'How Dare You!' is a staggeringly brilliant display of studio wizardry. The record balances fiercely melodic, incredibly catchy pop-rock with wildly eclectic, wonderfully quirky art-pop arrangements, saturated in deeply sarcastic, highly playful British humor.
