The little things also produced by said snyth boy make it somewhat rewarding to listen repeatedly to. It's one of those that you keep discovering new things each time you listen. I think while writing this I have found two things that I hadn't noticed before. The immediate impact comes from the singles 'Promises Promises' and 'Blind Pilots' and while both fantastic songs in their own right, the ability to make simple riffs sound amazing and notable, there is much more depth to be found.

Opener 'Same Mistakes' sounds innocent enough at first but it is in fact a wonderful song that I for one missed the first few listens: in the words of The Darkness, it's 'really growing on me' (Tut - ED). 'Talking To A Brick Wall' is remarkable for a middle-of-album-song. Where other bands dump the mediocre here the opposite line is taken by the implanting of a 6-minute jewel about the tribulations of life and love and all backed by a fluctuating soundtrack.

'Kick Up The Fire... ' would've made more of an impact on me if they put a 'The Murder song' from their debut in place of the last two tracks. While 'In Your Prime' and 'Written Apology are not bad in themselves I feel that this needed the same apocalyptic ending that was offered to 'See This Through And Leave'. They try to bring about a crescendeo but only really succed in the nasal vocals of Ben Gautrey, which leaves the music lagging back in medicricity. A pity such a fine album could not be completed with a suitable closer.
