Auteurs' frontman Luke Haines has never hidden the fact that his favoruite decade was the 70's. This obsession with the decade has gained further momentum with this new album which appears to be a glam-rock lovers' album. Despite references to the 50's, 60's and 90's on this, the sound is unmistakably Seventies with a 90's gloss finish. In truth this isn't one of the Auteurs's best albums as it doesn't contain enough variety to last the course of the album (which is sensibly short at under 40 minutes long) and Haines's hoarse voice is rather limited. However, the winning melodies shine through on songs of the quality of 'Some Changes', 'Asti Spumanti' (the most modern sounding of the songs on offer here) and 'Future Generation' but at other times it is clear that whilst the similarly-influenced Suede have gone on to sell more records, for Haines's 'gang' the law of diminishing returns applies.
