In The Fur - Magnificent Designs.In The Fur – Magnificent Designs

Firing straight into the twisted distorted riff of "7 Pigeons," thealbum is off to a flying start. With a strange whining vocal similarto that of an early Davy Havoc, the song meanders it's way through averse to a fantasticly catchy and upbeat chorus, and you click thatyou're listening to an awesome band. The second song starts more acoustically, and is called "In The Fur." In the unlikely event that they actually named themselves after this song, I wouldn't be lying if I said it made sense. Taking the musical genius ideas of established commercial artists, and adding quirky solos, awesome vocal melodiesand harmonies, and unbelievably catchy chorus lines, In The Fur have hit the nail on the head.

Another key track is "Captured," sounding like one of the quietertracks you'd expect to find on a Velvet Revolver album – sheerbrilliant. And from then the album is flawless until the final andbrilliant track "Smoke." The only issue I have with this album, is that the eight tracks only spend twenty six minutes and you're left begging for more.

In summary, awesome alternative rock music. It's not ground-breaking but in a way that's its charm. This is the kind of thing you canlisten to loudly and your Mum won't mind. I love it, no surprises it'sgot top marks from me...

5/5
