On their sixth studio album, The Cribs have hooked up with producer Ric Ocasek (The Cars, Weezer, Possum Dixon) to craft a record that continues their career trajectory of great rock songs with amazing hooks.<\/p>\n
Opening track, \u201cFinally Free\u201d is one of those songs that immediately sounds like classic, vintage Cribs with a harder edge to it. The first single, \u201cBurning for No One,\u201d has a hook that rocks the listener upon the first chance and deserves a chance to be heard on the radio. Being consummate songwriters, the Jarman brothers managed to craft an album of great songs and Ocasek\u2019s production really brings out the songs\u2019 many, many strengths.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Wrong\u201d is a great track with some amazingly great musicianship from the brothers and even better vocals. \u201cCity Storms\u201d is another great rocker that deserves a chance to be heard by the public at large. Too bad they don\u2019t have those eye-catching iPod commercials anymore; this track would be perfect for one.<\/p>\n
\u201cPacific Time\u201d brings the tempo down a notch and the band doesn\u2019t lose any intensity at all. This album really helps boost the band past the \u2018young band\u2019 image they\u2019ve managed to obtain. They definitely earn the title of Most Underrated British Band Of The Last 15 Years. The intro to \u201cSpring On Broadway\u201d definitely perks the ears up with acoustic strumming that quickly kicks into loud drums and heavy guitars. I\u2019ve been familiar with the band for some time now but had lost track of their trajectory. Upon listening to this record, I was kicking myself for missing out on so much from the last couple of years.<\/p>\n
The lengthy finale, \u201cPink Snow\u201d builds upon its intro and droning lyrics into a pretty impressive track. Concluding with a damn fine jam that really shows what type of musicians these guys are.<\/p>\n
Though it\u2019s early in the year, this is definitely a contender for a top 10 record of the year. This is without a doubt, a record worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":32324,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[9605],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-44076","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-the-cribs","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=44076"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=44076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
