Beans On Toast, Survival Of The Friendliest. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Darwin received a fair amount of disgruntlement for his startling discoveries and observations when he undertook his voyage upon H.M.S. Beagle and pondered the meaning of life across time and found that survival depended on being the most adaptable.

Even long after his death he is misquoted, sometimes by the oppressor and the bully, often by the religiously inclined; if only he had written and presented a paper titled Survival Of The Friendliest, then perhaps much of the toxic humanity we have collectively endured since the day the great man first noticed the differences in the finches as they flew in circles around The Galapagos Islands, might well have been avoided.

Beans On Toast, Knee Deep In Nostalgia/The Unforeseeable Future. Album Reviews.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Rarely do we get to even get to place ourselves in someone else’s shoes, let alone to see out of the eyes of mythical gods and deities, but for the first time in decades we perhaps can have an inkling of true empathy for another’s suffering, that like the Roman god Janus, we can see the beginnings of our trials and the transition we have undergone as both sides of the divide yearn for melancholy longing and are concerned over what the prospect of tomorrow will bring.

Beans On Toast, A Bird In The Hand. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

If A Bird In The Hand is worth two in the bush, then in the labours of Beans on Toast it must hold an entire menagerie, a cornucopia of brightly feathered introspections and meanings that hold the attention of his listeners and fans with no exception.

Beans On Toast, A Spanner In The Works. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * **

The following of a cult can be considered dangerous, a precarious passion to indulge your time within and one that is never truly advised and yet the cult figure, the difference in the fresh and the out of date is something that always appeals. The prospect of finding the stirring beginnings of another like minded Ian Dury, in whatever form, is enough to prick the ears back and listen with a wry smile at the dry wit on hand; in Beans on Toast’s new album, A Spanner In The Works, that appeal of the unusual and anti- trendy is sublime and an alternative falling for.
