Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When history looks back on The Pigeon Detectives, will they be seen as anything more significant than a These Animal Men or Shed Seven to Kaiser Chiefs' Blur? Their debut album, Wait for Me, achieved remarkable success in the bizarre, never-ending post-Libertines vacuum with a string of undoubtedly infectious and direct bouts of rabble-raising indie-fuzz. But lining up alongside The Wombats, The View, The Enemy, Dirty Pretty Things, The Courteeners et al, minions chipping away at the same rock-face, there are gems—occasionally, of course there are--but there's also an inevitable mountain of sediment. And herein lies the problem for their typically difficult second album Emergency. While their approach may have matured a little, with "This Is an Emergency" bouncing on the Franz Ferdinand springboard and "Keep Oo Your Dress" having a bit of an Idlewild complexion rather than just plundering and shouting over Up the Bracket, the album has trouble lifting its head much above the parapet. "She's Gone", which has as much in common with Green Day's buffed punk-pop as contemporary UK strands, and the mid-pace Kaisers-esque "Love You for a Day (Hate You for a Week)" are perfectly affable, serviceable Britpop, but the sirens are not blaring this time. There are scattered fires, but they'll probably burn out on their own. No need to call 999. --James Berry
CD Description
After an exceedingly popular first LP (2007's 'Wait For Me') cemented Leeds-based indie rockers The Pigeon Detectives' arrival on the scene, their swift follow-up 'Emergency' brings the same vibrancy and energy to their guitar-led pop songs. The first single from the album, 'This Is Not An Emergency', delivers all one might expect from the band, a short, sharp thrill of slammed guitar strings and a massive chorus. Produced by Stephen Street (who previously worked with Blur, The Smiths and Babyshambles) and released on the indie favourite Dance To The Radio label, 'Emergency' captures the sound of a brash band who are very much looking towards their next release.
