Great opening track, very sing-a-long and karaoke classic in years to come in Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Do Ya, Do Ya, Do Ya, Do Ya.

Is Employment followable? On first listen i would have to say no, but, and this is a big but, listen to it a 2nd time and it is a completely different album, you get mislead into thinking it's a run of the mill album, but it is clearly not so.

Starting with a good opener is always a good plan in my idea, and in this case following with The Angry Mob is a master stroke as it has 3 or 4 sounds mixed in and all trying to take claim to own the song, but this is done very well and sounds awesome. Heat Dies Down is a fast paced song which will get you up, and is swiftly followed by High Royds which initially annoyed the teeth out of me, and as with the others it has grown on me and i can't seem to get the song out of my head, which is concerning as i hated it!

Thank You Very Much is the top song on this album and is quick and dirty - it does exactly what it says on the tin, rocks you gets you up and will be an anthem as I Predict a Riot was before this.

I Can Do It Without You is a great song which lyrically is fantastic and hard to put down, but unfortunately as some albums do it runs out of steam early and doesn't deliver the punch the first half does.

My Kinda Guy is a catchy tune which you'll be singing along too i promise, the lyrics are stunning in this and sings like your telling a story which in my opinion is a key point in a good song!!

tracks 9-13 really could easily be forgotten as b-sides waiting to happen and they lack the umph of the previous 8, but well worth a listen although i fear not to everyones taste. Although as it's one of those 'grown on me' kinda albums it might just turn out ok.....
