Truley aweful album in my opinion, they released a few albums which were really good, then this latest effort of theirs (albeit now several years old) is really like it's not the same guys, shocking effort.

Anyone feel otherwise? I'd like to know, cheers

Don't have the album, but have heard their single and it just sounds so similar to previous offerings. They seem to have run out of ideas!

You can have mine if you really want to listen to it. Use it as an ashtray, coaster or bird scarer for your garden if you don't like it.

Ignition is their best album- the only one I still listen to.
Ixnay was a shift in sound but still good.
After that they didn't shift just rang the cloth dry.
I saw them on their Americana tour though and they were brilliant.

Smash is one of my all time favourite albums, remember buying it on a field trip to Germany when I was in the 1st year of high school and having it on a constant loop.

It's a serious piece of work, and just highlights how much of a shame it is that a once great band now suck the fat one (I like to call it Red Hot Chili Peppers syndrome...)
