Review
Abandoning their adolescent pop-rock completely would've been a rash move, though, and they appear to know it. Poster boy frontman Josh Franceschi has always been smart enough to make sure we empathise with him about being unlucky in love, rather than simply appealing for sympathy. That said, most of their predominantly teenage female fanbase would probably be happy to lick his, er, wounds.
As lead single Loverboy saunters then swaggers, it's audibly business as usual. Jaws on the Floor follows it with typically great break-up lines such as "Such a pretty thing, so much prettier without me", but is essentially more of the same.
It takes Bite My Tongue for the first signs of the inter-band disharmony that briefly tested them to surface. One particular barb from Franceschi - "I might be proud but at least I'm proud of something / You're taking pride in becoming nothing" - spears the target he's painted on his bandmates' backs. It's the first sign of a musical evolution, too, but Oli Sykes' shouty cameo is pretty pointless, as it's hard not to miss the irony that they've just conveyed angst much better without needing to raise their voices.
What follows is delivered with the best intentions but mostly lacks the same immediacy and impact. Little Bit of Truth is the most obvious attempt of several to become a Biffy Clyro-style, respectable rock band - strings and all - while No One Does It Better sounds like a predictably-sweet antidote to the bitterness of Bite My Tongue. Time is Money proves they should stay away from the moshcore trend, but The Dilemma's revisionist love song is the band at their best: infectious, fun and intelligent.
Looking to the future and into the past at the same time, Sinners Never Sleep is destined to sound a bit like a (frequently awkward) transition. Still, for a record that could've gone in one of two directions, it manages the neat trick of going in both.

Customer Reviews
This album has a brilliant vibe to it, it's very much like the first album Take Off Your Colours. While Hold Me Down was an amazing album with several of my favourite tracks it felt quite commercial, it really does pain me to say that as well!, and there were less rock songs on than Take Off Your Colours. Sinners Never Sleep goes back to the original beginning of the band, it even has a few screamo elements. While I'm not a screamo fan I did love it back in the day when the band did a few screamo tracks like the original version of The Rumour.
Sinners is, well it is just an amazing album. The tracks really so call out to you. I know that sounds cheesy but it is true. Josh's lyrics are just stunning. Tracks like Crash, Little Death, When We Were Younger and No One Does It Better are simply out of this world. I just cannot stop listening to this album, I really can't.
An added bonus is the deluxe version of the album which includes the video 'Bite My Tongue'. A documentary about how Sinners was recorded and interviews with the band on how they came to become You Me At Six. The band are brutally honest about their career and success. You see just how much they love the band and how much they care for one another during the film and it really does make me proud to be a Sixer because this band make some of the best music around.
the best songs are Bite My Tongue ft Oli Sykes , No one does it better and little death
I would give this album 9/10 ! a musy buy!
Has a documentary of how the band became You Me At Six and as famous they are now! Brilliant vocals by Josh Franceschi "Time Is Money", "Bite My Tongue" & "No One... Read more
