Sparks find their footing yet again. Russell's toned down the vocal gymnastics, finding a rich, searching sound - the title track and Sherlock Holmes are as soulful as anything Sparks've done. Return-to-form adventurousness and refinements of their latest sounds abound: I Predict would have been perfectly at home as the best song on Big Beat or Whomp. And Moustache is just good Mint Chicks fun.
Some of the pop culture bits fall flat, but mostly Angst's inscrutably great. Shades of Blur at their best. Another baffling data point on the most untrackable career in rock 4/5
