5/5 stars. Totally worth the wait, and listening to on repeat.
I personally love The Xcerts, and have been waiting for this album for so long.
During the wait we were left with In The Cold Wind We Smile (2009), and Scatterbrain (2010). Between 2010's album and the new release, they've done a few genius gigs, teasing us by saying that the new album will be about before they start gigging again so that we can learn all the words and sing along.
"Whether you're a fourteen year old that's just had their first kiss, or an adult going through a divorce, there's more to this album than just me whining." -- Murray MacLeod, The Xcerts.
All The Kids Are On Drugs and Pop Song are songs so ridiculously catchy and well played that is was extremely hard to chose favourites from this fantastic album. Even though the sound is classic Xcerts, this album is a more grown up sound, and is a victory rather than an awkward sequel. All I can do now is wait in sweet anticipation for the gigs, which will be epic, and has actually already started, though the London gig isn't for another two days, Fri 14th Nov, Tufnell Park Dome.
