Their debut album, Wait for Me, achieved remarkable success in the bizarre, never-ending post-Libertines vacuum with a string of undoubtedly infectious and direct bouts of rabble-raising indie-fuzz. But lining up alongside The Wombats, The View, The Enemy, Dirty Pretty Things, The Courteeners et al, minions chipping away at the same rock-face, there are gemsoccasionally, of course there are--but there's also an inevitable mountain of sediment. And herein lies the problem for their typically difficult second album Emergency. While their approach may have matured a little, with \"This Is an Emergency\" bouncing on the Franz Ferdinand springboard and \"Keep Oo Your Dress\" having a bit of an Idlewild complexion rather than just plundering and shouting over Up the Bracket, the album has trouble lifting its head much above the parapet. \"She's Gone\", which has as much in common with Green Day's buffed punk-pop as contemporary UK strands, and the mid-pace Kaisers-esque \"Love You for a Day (Hate You for a Week)\" are perfectly affable, serviceable Britpop, but the sirens are not blaring this time. There are scattered fires, but they'll probably burn out on their own. No need to call 999. --James Berry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30345411395681,"sku":"5033197508023","price":5.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_1548005_jpg.jpg?v=1768936915","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5033197508023-emergency-edition-limit","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
