Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The world is obsessed with the idea of new, not fresh, not innovative, not original, just new. New is the catch-all modern step over the boundary, it implies edginess, when all that is being adorned is shock value, it suggests a tense unease at the revolution to come, yet the same colours are always to be seen flying from the mast at the break of day and at sunset. It feels as if it should agitate and stir things up, an insurrection in the novel, and yet new in this world is concerned with rampant commercialism and is only really a different package to sell the same thing you have had in your hands for the whole of your life.
