Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There was a time when many thought the concept album was dead, that the medium of the music long conversation was over and that nobody could pull it off anymore; such thought is always folly. It is akin to suggesting the narrative poem is redundant, that nobody could pull of the epic anymore, such is the world we now inhabit, anything over a miniscule of thought is deemed to be excessive, anything that takes the time and trouble to convey a story supposed to be not worthy of the modern applause and yet in the hands of Liverpool’s Loathe, The Cold Sun is the type of chronicle that is splendid and worthy of Time being digested and poured over.
