An apparent unicorn in the DMR catalogue, and who doesn't love a unicorn. I'm a bit of an outlier when it comes to DMR...Love Searching for the Young Soul Rebels which, upon release I found to be totally unique in the British alternative musical landscape. While i'm emerssed in bunnymen and Wire and Banshees and JD and The Jam and The Clash here comes this bizarrely engaging SOUL(?) record which I loved..."For God's Sake BURN IT DOWN!" as they shouted. Come on Eileen? Come On. Really? You've lost me now and DRM has now become for me, just another uninteresting pop band...sure a quality, somewhat interesting pop band, but not for me. This album comes up and apparently it was career suicide for these young soul rebels...well for me its a giant middle finger to everyone who just wanted Come On Eileen II. 7 songs, 3 of which are over 7 minutes long! How's that for a "Fuck You" to all you Come On Eileen cultists. Meanwhile, the music on this album though messy and lacking focus is wonderful. Melodies pop up their heads and disappear in a flash but linger in your mind long after they're gone. There's a psuedo Werewolves of London cover that swings like a mother fucker. And plenty of other gem like moments that gives me a renewed respect for this band that I knew were way more than the one-hit-wonder punch line that was the prevailing narrative. Way to go! 4.5 stars
