Being so musically and thematically rich, GLUE will be a lot of things to a lot of people, and therefore act as an enduring monument to being young and looking ahead in a world that doesn’t always seem to have, or want, a future.

Upset

Ultimately, ‘GLUE’ is heavy; for its subject matter and its sound but it pits Boston Manor against the world and they come out the other side of it all unscathed.

Through channeling their frustration into their craft, Boston Manor have not only made their finest album to date, they’ve lent a voice to the disaffected youth of modern Britain at a time when that is sorely needed.

It's a portrayal of moral depravity, a reflection of modern society and a call to arms for change. A bold and brazen album that will joyously haunt you.

Honesty and hope intertwine on GLUE. Some songs are loud, some are soft anchors which keep the heart steady. It is a diverse record and is Boston Manor’s most revealing yet.

Aiming to hitherto uncharted peaks and intensity, the Blackpool pop-punk five-piece have road-toughened beyond their indenti-Emo origins to attain a formidable muscular grunge-tinged melodic fury.

GLUE will appeal to fans of '90s alternative rock who are looking for more, but will continue to alienate Boston Manor's longtime pop-punk-loving fans.

When Boston Manor started out, they were a really exciting, gritty pop-punk outfit. With each release after Be Nothing. from them, they've lost a little bit of their character to lean more into the mainstream. And now I just don't really care about them.

Rating: 4/10

boston manor's most energetic and experimental album has been out for a year now, and as i was eager to listen to it the day it dropped, i feel that it's only right for me to review it. for background, the entire year of 2019 and the first few months of 2020 i would basically only listen to pop punk and boston manor was one of the bands that while it was pop punk it was unlike any other pop punk band out there, they just seemed check every box for what i wanted to hear in the genre. henry cox ... read more
