#2054 Islands - Taste

Bless Islands for their two-albums-at-once gambit. Mixing and matching all this bloopblippery with the more traditional stuff on SIRHAS would have been sloppy - both albums are more cohesive this way.

This is the less interesting half of the pie though. The icy electronics are out of step, at odds with the rock band at the heart, and some exceptions notwithstanding (Outspoken Dirtbiker) it feels as soulless and forgettable as a Hot Hot Heat album. One out of two aint bad, as we dream of a proper Unicorns reunion 3/5
