User Album Review
From the spikey grooves of opener ‘What Did We Do To Deserve This’ to the rousing ‘Work and Then Wait’ the band’s distaste for the way things are currently is evident. And though it’s easy for bands to jump on the social justice bandwagon, there’s a sincerity at the core of ‘Risk to Exist’ that’s difficult to ignore and impossible not to admire.
Of course, Maxïmo have dabbled in politics before, ‘The National Health’ for instance, or ‘Girls Who Play Guitars’ — but never have they been so prevalent, so bold-faced. That does come with a price however. Paul Smith’s lyrics feel a little more on the nose than usual, somewhat less nuanced. It’s a small price to pay though for a record that fits neatly in to the Maxïmo Park canon, while seeking to distance itself from it subtly. 8/10 -- clashmusic.com
