Caveat emptor

Reacting to Fergal Kinney's evaluation of Yard Act's debut album back in January, I mentioned my "growing jadedness with respect to bands of this ilk". That jadedness was, sadly, confirmed by Crows' Beware Believers.

The LP's emphasis is more on the punk than the post-, and its heart is in the right place, but it didn't move me much - more reflective of my own fatigue than of the album's merits, quite probably, but personal opinion is the bedrock of any review and it was impossible to listen to it with fresh ears, blanking everything else out.

Buzz review here.
