UncutFall[s] somewhere between Talk Talk and the Bunnymen. [Sep 2004, p.98]

It's obviously the most upbeat album they've released yet, and despite the more rigidly defined dynamic, it's a far cry from the bog standard "rock" sound the mainstream has accepted as the norm.

It's subtle in all the right places, majestic when it needs to be, and with the exception of a few less-inspired ballads, is a damn fine album from start to finish.
