(Since forming in 2000, Brighton renegades British Sea Power have firmly stomped their own path. Do You Like Rock Music?. sees the band continue their uniquely exploratory approach. Tunes like "Atom" and "Down on the Ground"--both heard last on the band's Krankenhaus EP)--are full of edgy BSP bombast; but Arcade Fire-esque opener "All in It," the shoegazery "Canvey Island," "Great Skua,"--and especially "Waving Flags"--are stadium-sized songs to wave your lighter around to.

Reviews"They may be at their most inspired here on tracks that let it swell, not rip, from the majestic chamber pop and melancholy swoon of 'Waving Flags' and 'Canvey Island' to the slow-burning beauty of 'No Need To Cry.'", 4 Stars Out of 5-"A Vivid, Nostalgic Traipse Into What Good Rock Bands Ought to Sound Like.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "From the dirty punk of 'A Trip Out' to the glimmering hope of 'Waving Flags,' the band's third album even recalls Arcade Fire's epic drama.", "There's a giddy moroseness throughout the record, one embodied by fluid solos that imbue pounding feedback and rollicking rhythms with a lubricated openness.", Ranked #31 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "An honest, downright beautiful breath of fresh air.", "The album's masterpiece is 'Canvey Island'....A magisterial melodic swell and Yan's croon make it a thing of heart-rending loveliness...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "An album that balances intellectual importance with the simple pleasures of great melodies played on meaty guitars.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Recorded partly in a derelict water tower and steeped in the political-apocalyptic side of new wave that produced Joy Division.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The expansive lyrical concerns of the Wilkinson brothers are a source of fascination....Exhilarating in its ambition...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "ROCK MUSIC? still captures that intangible essence of something lost and, as such, remains wholly affecting.", "Standouts like 'no Lucifer' and 'waving Flags' Touch Real Greatness." -- Grade: B+, 4 stars out of 5 -- "The choral surge of 'All In It' or the Atlas-sized chants of 'No Lucifer' strain against the confines of indie airspace....British Sea Power are thriving out on the limits.", Ranked #14 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "The album mixed rowdy noise, heartfelt tunes and church organs...", "The Band Is Firing on Full Cylinders and Full of the Usual Mischief."
Additional InformationThis wintry, nuanced, and bold collection of epic songs integrates the sweeping theatricality of Arcade Fire-era indie rock without the insularity.
