‘Far be it from us to be as pushy as calling this the earliest possible contender for album of the year – and yet, we are‘, Live4ever said in our Songs Of Praise review:

“Because back in the times before the sneering old men robbed the nineties born of their art, their dole and their dignity, there were a load of bands that made the Northern industrial wastelands what they were, a habitat of dry post-romantic articulation set to music that Metropolitanism couldn’t fathom or give a f**k about.”

“Wilson would be ecstatic to hear Songs Of Praise though, final proof that the chaos, ethics and brittle self-esteem of a landslide he began can now grow anywhere. Shame have just brought everyone a little closer to each other.”
