Although it delivers a more cohesive sound compared to their older matterial, Humbug has a lack of identity and vulnerabilty that their previous work had.

Best Tracks: Brianstorm, Teddy Picker, D Is For Dangerous, Fluorescent Adolescent, Only Ones Who Know, Do Me A Favour, This House Is A Circus, If You Were There Beware, ... read more

All performances are excellent here: Kevin with some of his best hooks, Matt showing his vocal delivery, Merlyn delivering powerful verses like STUPID, JOBA ... read more
