To be no Best of Best-of

Much has not been, from exciting bands that sprang up early '00s in the UK. Some had a simple scheme and to have quickly fizzled out, with others (no name ;-) scored after excellent second album of singer comic impulses towards dub and disco, Maximo Park make on album No. 4 continue what they do best can. Paul Smith called the album a little mischievously, the best-of album, which the band has not yet been published so far. Whether this is coquetry, or pure pragmatism, he's right with it. Everything is back, the great melodies that were missing on the last album something that indomitable energy from the indie pop rock disco and epic choruses and in excess. The lyrics follow here on the implication of the Album Titles, even if some of the great texts as always revolve around matters of the heart, so the view is still clear to the outside, attached to the policies and Kutur. New fans is 'National Health' so do not win, who has, however, concluded this mixture into the heart, the will fall almost over the moon with this collection of beads and hits.

Smiths still, as if he had manic-depressive sings. Big sad eyes in a moment to the next moment loszuhüpfen then stung as by a tarantula. Silent quiet songs there are very few, the brief silent piano and piano borne Opener WHEN I WAS WILD and the very acoustic and touching but or just because so unemotionally put forward Unfamiliar PLACES, and the extra song FALLING (on the Limited Edition). Fear, paranoia and mania of modern times can be felt, in the highly melodic propulsive Title Song NATIONAL HEALTH or WAVES OF FEAR, 'Apathetics we've become' is a statement which sits. But the big other emotions as always transported tangible, from the zurückgewissenen love in RELUCTANT LOVE the way to becoming cooler affection with a certain aggressive undertone in WRITE THIS DOWN. The The Smiths Rememberance Award receives this time the Undercurrents.

Maximo Park hold anything back. Big emotions and thoughts, great indie tunes.

Small supplement to the Deluxe Edition: The 4 of 5 extra tracks are pure acoustic versions, exciting but please definitely in listening times before you order the that could lead to disappointment. However, a true gem is the fifth title FALLING, he is a sinister synthesizer driven midtempo song that begins somewhere between Ultravox and perhaps the older a little more familiar soundtrack to Twin Peaks.

And one more little supplement ... actually each solo album of Paul Smiths Margins perceived which was in fact not bad
