I was eagerly awaiting this album for some time, and I have got to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The wombats first album was full of energy but lacked the depth of a quality album, and I was expecting a similar type of album here, but no. They have lost the energy and focused more on the lyrics and the beat. this results in an album that you can listen to time and time again.
Songs such as Our perfect disease and Walking disasters I hadn't heard before I had bought the album, but have grown on me and are now two of the better songs in my opinion. There are some weaker songs on the album, Last night I dreamt and Schmacher the champagne are a slight let down, but as a whole the album quality is now at a much higher level than their debut album.
This album is definitely one which grows on you, as upon first hearing it does seem a little weak, but give it a week and you will not be disappointed. This is a slower, darker album compared to their first, but it just as good, if not better.
