Be my guest. Don't say you weren't warned. TBF, maybe someone taking their time over it might enjoy it more (though I doubt it) but trying to review thirty tracks of this while so much else waits in this month is just too tough.

Tells you all you need to know.

He doesn't even sound like himself.

The Guardian actually has a good overall track record imo.

Haven't listened to anything but their debut, but it's a pretty fun record.

Album title: Let the Dancers Inherit the Party
Artist: British Sea Power
Genre: Indie Rock
Nationality: English
Release date: March 31
Position in Discography: Seventh
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? Yes
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 3.24
I loved BSP's From the Sea to the Land Beyond, and though that was basically a soundtrack, and so mostly, if not entirely, instrumental, it gave me a real taste for their music. This album continues that powerful, upbeat, almost joyful way they have of writing classy pop songs that just stay with you. “International Space Station” is a good example of this: catchy as all hell but not derivative or cliched in any way. “What You're Doing” has a hook to die for, while there's a lot of Bowie in “The Voice of Ivy Lee” and there's an almost new-wave thing going on in “Keep On Trying (Sechs Freunde)”. This album has so many hooks it could, well, you know: insert your own hook-based metaphor here.

I think I'd like to hear a ballad though, just for a change. Oh, and just like that, “Electrical Kittens” (what?) slows things down and is a beautiful song, possibly the standout on an album on which I already thought I had picked the standout. I'm beginning to think it's going to be hard to find anything here I don't like, even love. Each track seems to be as good as, or better than the last. Yeah, I was right. Not a single weak song.

Check out more from this artist? I already have all their discography
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yep
