About the album
Always stood to the side of whichever fashion was in vogue throughout their long career, the eleven songs are immediately recognisable as the work of the same band but escape any sense that they are revisiting past glories.
The weaving bass lines remain delicate and strident in equal measure, guitars shine and ring with immense clarity and Tim Booth continues to subvert the notion of pop music, taking the title's track's immediate chorus to sing, 'Hey Ma', the boys in bodybags, coming home in pieces' in a warp of the anthemic chorus which, all thinking souls will hope, becomes the most popular, if least likely refrain, of the summer festivals.
Q Magazine this month proclaim; "Manchester veterans make confident comeback", "Tim Booth sounds like a singer reborn" and "Oh My Heart, is anthemic enough to be the new 'Sit Down'."
