If you enjoyed the brisbane duo's first offering ('savage garden') then i would certainly reccomend this offering. A wonderful mix of tuneful melodies and lyrics packed with emotion is an unbeatable combination.
The album kicks off with the irresistible title track 'affirmation', which is in truth a potential classic. An absolute stomper which sets the pace for the whole album. 'The best thing' and 'chained to you' continue the upbeat theme, whilst hayes and Jones prove they haven't lost the touch for a heart wrenching ballad, 'hold me' and 'I knew i loved you' almost match the highs of 'Truly madly deeply' featured on their debut album.
'The animal song' is another hi-energy song complete with big drums in the first few seconds. The last few tracks find the lads sounding more melancholy than usual. The tragic tale of domestic abuse is porrayed beautifully in '2 beds and a coffee machine' and the less commercial sounding 'you can still be free' and 'gunning down romance' are very haunting to put it mildly.
This leaves us with the album-closer 'I don't you anymore'. A piano-led track about a couple who split-up, but when they meet up again, find they've both moved on and changed beyond recognition.
All in all, this is a wondeful album that displays highly charged emotions, wonderful lyrics and brilliant melodies. The only differences from the first album would be that the lyrics are more personal and they have slightly moved down a tempo or two. But you'll find no complaints from me...12 outstanding tracks, that's what i call value for money!
