Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

If you could imagine for a single moment what life would be like if you had already heard the finest album you ever likely to hear before you even turn to the hopeful and fruitful years that being a teenager can provide, then surely to keep searching for the ultimate musical experience would be considered an act of folly, a dangerous illusion to which the only thing to suffer is your bank balance and your sanity. Yet somehow despite all that you keep searching, you keep hoping something will appear out of the dark, a vital moment will present itself to you and make it all worthwhile.
