The early 2000's radio friendly "indie rock" bands really kind of all blur together for me; this album has that exact sound. Apparently it's "post Britpop". Late in the album, starting with Friday's Dust, there are a few songs that did manage to get my attention by breaking from the Coldplay/Snow Patrol/Keane sound and doing some more interesting things, so I wouldn't turn those tracks off, but I don't think this is an album I'll be seeking out anytime soon. 2.5/5

I didn't care for this album. Post-britpop does seem like it tempers the britpop a bit, but this is just milquetoast. That being said, I liked it more than the other Doves album (a little) 2.49/5
