User Album Review
With their debut Curse Our Love, Young Rebel Set were described by some as the northern blue collar answer to the private school educated Mumford and Sons, something which fell wide of the mark. That didn’t stop the album being the kind of record that some critics are sharpening their knives for. To be fair some of the criticisms leveled at Curse Our Love were valid, despite a couple of catchy tracks, some of the kitchen sink narratives felt corny and heavy handed. The band were also too much in thrall to their influences, even going as far as aping Bob Dylan on one track.

On the second album Crocodile, the band taken the leap to a larger indie and the music has had a fresh lick of paint, as production wise the album is cleaner and has a more polished sound. Taken objectively this is a bigger improvement over the last album, as songs at least feel tighter and less heavy handed. The folksy stomp of Yesca & the Fear, the bouncy farfisa driven hooks of The Lash of the Whip are standouts. While Show Your Feathers And Run and The Girl From The 51, have the kind of catchy soaring chorus that would go down a treat with festival audiences next summer. That said aside from the highlights there are some inert moments especially on some of the slower tracks like the Coldplay sound-alike Reap the Whirlwind, or the rockier tracks like Another Time, Another Place.

Even though the this album is better than their debut, The Young Rebel Set still aren’t the critic pleasing kind, it’s far too earnest for the more cynical end of the record buying public. Crocodile proves that they have the chops to actually make catchy songs, but if you despise the more earnest side of Bruce Springsteen’s back catalog, then by all means avoid this album.
