User Album Review
Peace built their name off fizzing anthems that made you want to fling yourself into a sweaty mass of bodies and devote your life to the band, and there’s still plenty of that in their arsenal. ‘Power’ is the kind of song that makes you feel totally invincible, Sam Koisser’s bass driving the verses with swaggering confidence, and ‘You Don’t Walk Away From Love’ is a swaggering triumph. Less anthemic, but no less powerful, ‘Magnificent’ sweeps through the album’s centre on a wave of strings. The gorgeous ‘Silverlined’ features heart-swelling sentiments (“I want to love you with all of my ashes“) and a gargantuan solo from Doug that sounds like a bolt of electricity crackling through water. It’s a glorious peak on an album that, save a couple of weaker links (‘Angel’ and ‘Just A Ride’) is hard to fault. Thank god Peace are back, and on breathtaking form.
