I've never downloaded/gotten a full album from this band prior to "Do You Like Rock Music" but seeing them debut in the top 10 of the UK charts and the consistent critical acclaim they've gotten made me take a chance.
Their sound carries post-punk influences, reminiscent of Joy Divison as many have said. "Waving Flags," the 1st single, sounds epic and stimulating, attesting to the nuanced and kind of cold histrionic sound of the album as a whole.
The album is ambitious and could have stumbled but to me they pulled it off well. Hopefully the commercial and critical recognition they are getting can expose them even more.
