B Unique BUN138CD, £12.99
If every track on the Welsh band's second album possessed the power and conviction of the title track this could have been a contender. 'Magazines' and 'This Ship' rather wander off message, coming off as pleasant and rather powerless pop, while 'In The Mountains' and 'Sleepwalking' are like Rush tunes performed by Busted. There is too much studio trickery with the vocals and not enough passion. 'Make The Mistakes' is twee prog rock, although 'Bad Guy' and the cunningly titled closer 'Light Entertainment' provide genuine oomph.
