#1011 Islands - A Sleep And A Forgetting

At least Islands had the decency to let us down easy. From Return to the Sea's inevitably-disappointing-but-surprisingly-solid post-Unicorns effort, to Arm's Way's great-first-five / awful-last-seven hyper-frontloaded comedown, to Vapours' crap-but-for-the-title track barely-thereism, to here.

We knew this was coming.

At last we've arrived at the inevitable endpoint of our trajectory: from a half-album, to a quarter album, to a twelth album, to a non-album: a waterey lump of crooners without a single memorable moment.

It's over and I felt nothing at all. At least it didn't hurt. 2/5
