The reviews in Acoustic magazine are much more informative

I find that extremely informative! I can almost hear the record (unfortunately). There's nowt wrong with calling spade a spade, rather than a quite adequate digging implement made by nice people that may or not appeal to you. There is not much point in dragging it out with a track list, a regurgitated press release and some clever adjectives from some hack if one sentence tells you all you need to know. And anyway, it made me smile, though probably not the band.
