Coming in with more quick & easy albums during my latest round of album catch-up. A lot of this reminded me of the Smiths, with maybe a few trace elements of some other brit groups like U2? I would say the resulting sample pool of sound is a mostly enjoyable experience if a bit plain. It’s decidedly very basic and avoids being too flashy or overproduced which for this group definitely fits. In the same way you can enjoy a meal from your local pub despite knowing it isn’t the best cooking around, the fundamentals and familiar go a long way in making an admittedly simple album such a nice listen
