Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The very real tragedy that exposes the way humanity deals with a subject it doesn’t like is to sweep it under the carpet. They disown it, they move the subject along, they make excuses or pat it on the head, saying how terrible it all is, before moving swiftly on to talk about how much their home is now worth. For those in society who suffer the effects of mental illness, no matter how or to what degree, at times it does really feel as if the world is not just against you, it is actively campaigning to shut you up and move on. Nobody actually says anything constructive to get the ball rolling as a topic of conversation, not unless you count Forthaven and their brand new single The People of the World.
