No doubt the pinnacle of Enter Shikari's perviously increasing carreer. I really enjoyed the increased use of trance/synth backing along with completely new tracks put alongside old time favourites.

I Was also a big fan of the whole "interlude" track idea, where some of the more main songs would be introduced with a shortened instrumental track to build up the effect.

However i do feel that this previously up-and-coming group has fallen victim to what the Lost Prophets did, and have peaked with there first real mainstream album.

An extreemly good band live, which is what i think helped them finally get to the well deserved position they are at now but i cant help but notice the feelings of "selling out" from some of their more "hardcore" fans that are around.

Regardless of all minor doubts, definitetly an album to own, if anything, for its supreme uniquness.

Please ignore the comment below about updating your 'Circle of Trust' as he is seriously suggesting this becomes like a group of people that will always read your reviews.. -This is a totally untrue and against ciao rules to use your COT as a click circle and you could lose your membership by doing so. There are guidelines that would be helpful for you to read before adding people to your 'Circle of Trust' at http://www.ciao.co.uk/faq.php/Id/4/Idx/4 . Fiona(New Members Guide)

Selling out... they turned down numerous major label deals and have released this album on their own label! For higher ratings, you'll need more opinion, maybe a track list, history of the band, previous releases etc. If you do edit this, give me a shout, and I'll be happy to reread and rerate. Ten
