...at about 3/4 the price. My local shop is built right in the city centre, but is still based around one of those 'warehousey' style designs rather just like those large out of town DIY places. As soon as you walk in to theh shop, you are greeted by floor to ceiling shelves with rows of goods on them all just waiting to be purchased by the awaiting British oublic. Of coure, in order to get to the higher stock it is best to ask a sales assistant to risk their own lives by climbing up on one of those rickety old ladders to reach that last carton of ink for you.

Advantages: A decent enough second album
Disadvantages: Something's missing...

"SRXT" is thankfully not quite what I would dub 'a-last-song-on-the-album-track' which merely flows along, never getting out of second gear.

It's a shame however that there are a few tracks on this album that fit the bracket of 'last-song-on-the-album.' So, how good is this album? Firstly, "A Weekend in the City" is not as good as Silent Alarm in my opinion, but then again, you're opinion could be completely different. However, their complexity in lyrics shows an excellent growing of age. Available on Amazon for £7.98, or £8... Read review
