Fourth album by welsh pop/rockers shows that they are not just an average band but the dark house of rock music. They bring back some hip/hop and trance influences in the form of ‘For he’s A Jolly Good Felon’. As the single’s ‘End of the World’ & ‘Were We Belong’ show they can still deliver there catchy and fist raising tunes. The overall design and production of the album has been well thought through, which shows these guys have talent after 12 years on the scene. Tracks highlights would come from ‘End of the World’, ‘Darkest Blue’ & ‘The Light That Shines Twice as Bright’. A major criticism would be that the songs change mood too dramatically over the course of the album. Also it would be nice to see them going a bit more back to there route and doing something which represents a dance/electric rock follow on from fake sound in progress. Overall a well made and long time coming album which shows a matured band, but is it really worth the wait? 6/10
