Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to follow up a massive chart-topping success, the British folk-rock quintet delivered a somewhat darker, more subdued third album. Produced by Bob Johnston, the acoustic-driven compositions maintain the group's signature Geordie charm and intricate vocal harmonies, despite the internal band tensions that would shortly lead to their fragmentation.
