If there’s a drawback to the album, it’s that there aren’t many signs of growth musically.
The problem here is that all these competing styles result in a bit of a lack in a distinctive voice for the band.
It might sound strange to criticise a record for having a cohesive sound throughout, but without those more startling moments, Smart Flesh can pass you by in parts.
It’s pretty, but it lacks any melodic inventiveness to really hook you in and make you feel what they’re feeling.
