The Stills : | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The 'it' sound at the moment seems to be a mellow semi-accoustic sound with a repetitive, yet not annoying, chorus. This format is doing the trick for Snow Patrol, Keane and Elbow. It would be fair to put a chunk of Logic Will Break Your Heart in this bracket; notably the striking Let's Roll, the tender Still In Love Song and closing showstopper Yesterday Never Tomorrows. The bottom line is that too many of the songs lie in middle ground. Gender Bombs and Ready For It both have the 'good but not great' tag attached to them, which is fine if you want to sit on the allegorical fence to listen to your music. However, if you want to venture further away from the latest 'it' sound, The Stills aren't a reason to stay; with the exception of a refined 80s influence, there's nothing new here. We've already been there, done that and got The Smiths t-Shirt to prove it. :: Paul Newbold |
