Maxïmo Park first burst into my consciousness in 2005 with debut album 'A Certain Trigger', a brilliant collection of indie poptastic songs, high energy and catchy as hell, 4 years later comes' Quicken the heart', an alum which essentially sticks to the same formula as their previous efforts, but ironically, album totally fails to quicken my heart.
The band have literally tried nothing new here, simply trotting out more of the same from the first 2 albums. Problems is, which the second album's sameness was forgivable because the songs were so catchy and danceable, the songs here are just average and forgettable.
There are some enjoyable moments, 'Calm' is probably the best song here, but none of the songs would have stood out on the previous albums. Look's like we have to chalk up another casualty from the great indie pop crop of 2005
Calm
Wraithlike
The Kids are Sick Again
