James MusicOMH Album Review

Another great album review from MusicOMH;

"This wasn't supposed to happen. But then with all the band reunions taking place over the last couple of years, the reigniting of the James fires had a certain inevitability.
The group's critics will, of course, be totally unmoved at the prospect of a rejuvenated Tim Booth crusading at their ears once again, but for others such as yours truly who regard the band's work with Brian Eno as verging on the masterly, it's a privilege we didn't expect.

It's clear this isn't a return with an eye on the cash till either - James are back because they have fire in their belly and music to stoke it with, and it shows in the depth of emotion unleashed by this album. They just happen to be best making it together. Booth leads the charge, going for broke against a whole range of issues, but in doing so sounding more at peace than he has for a while."
