Say what you like about the album, it’s impossible to deny it is blazing with confidence and a witty, abrasive humour.
What marks this album out from Slaves’ first two records is the range Holman and Vincent have proven they possess: where 2016’s Take Control ... felt like one big raging scream, Acts of Fear And Love sees the band showing their sensitive side as well.
Their third album is their biggest, catchiest and most accomplished to date.
this is the type of music that will kick your ass and then give you the biggest hug possible
Short but doesn't waste your time. Every track here is worth your time. A solid rebound in creative energy compared to Take Control.
