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."

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
This album was nominated for the... mercury music prize for nothing! If you're a fan of soaring guitars and progressive song structures as well as the odd well crafted pop song like the single on this album ' Waving Flags' you should love this album! I'd say its the powers best to date, from the brilliant Modest Mouse esque opener 'We're All In' to the brilliant 'No Lucifer' this album will have you singing along til the end. Buy it!
