The leaps of faith the band have taken have been roundly vindicated, and ... go some way to justify their continued existence.
Brilliant! Tragic! is definitely worth listening to at least once or twice this summer.
Since the lyrical content now borders on morose and even sadistic, the music also follows the leader with a muck of baseless solos and thrilling codas to compensate for the otherwise linear compositions.
Argos has discovered a voice that sounds a bit like Jarvis Cocker's, only if he'd lost it after a long night out drinking.
