If you like Bring it On, you will know just what to expect from this CD. There are some cracking tracks on here, standout ones including California (a drug-inspired if not induced) guitar epic and the fantastic Devil Will Ride.
It's maybe a little more chilled that B.I.O, but it's Gomez through and through. Believe me, you have to see this band play live to truly appreciate this album, but even if you don't there is plenty to keep you amused here. Ben Ottewell's gravely tones do not dominate this release, rather they add some depth to Ian Ball and Tom Gray's thinner sounding vocals. Don't get me wrong, all three can sing and play guitar to an excellent standard, but without Ben, would they really sound like Gomez?
I reccomend this album to anyone who liked the first one, and also anyone who is into electric blues, like Clapton for example.
Don't expect it to be OK Computer, more like Bring it On v2.0 but this is of course no bad thing. and if you wished Gomez would be a little more 'out there' then buy Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline, the B-sides and out-takes album they've just released.
