Hi I'm a student just finishing a college course with the intention of attending university at the start of September to study Marine Biology. I have an interest in music, sports, films, books and I'll try anything once.

The second album from The Hours is much more fresh and upbeat that its predecessor 'Narcissus Road.' The variety of songs adds value to the talented voice of Antony Genn which complements his lyrical abilities on this record. The first 4 tracks have a catchy, foot tapping, head nodding quality with 'Big Black Hole' standing out as the pick of the bunch. Track 5 - 'Car Crash' leaves a wanting sensation; the build up of strings with a fine drumbeat leads down mediocre path who's ending did not impress me. The silver lining of 'Car Crash' is the immediate after 'Think Again' with a piano rock theme which will appeal to the Elbow, Coldplay and Air Traffic fans of the world. Tracks 7,8 and 9 are much more of the same which leaves the finale of the albums namesake track - 'See The Light.' In this particular song I feel that the song exceeds the lyrics however the use of strings in the climax is exceptional coincided with Genns powerful voice. Truly an epic end to the album.
