4 years have passed since Sunshine Undergrounds last release Raise The Alarm, Was it worth the wait?
Well if you're a Sunshine Underground fan undoubtedly! From a personal point of view I believe their first single from the album, Coming To Save You, is the best song the band have ever produced, Heavy bass and a catchy guitar lead chorus which will you have singing along throughout.
Other stand out tracks include In Your Arms, which is a slower track but still has that Sunshine Underground sound and a guitar screeching chorus. A Warning Sign follows, a song which starts with the sound of The Rapture before the band rush in to remind you who you're really listening to!
All in all, the album has a lot to offer, there are a lot of good tracks on here and without my limited ability to really describe music, stand out tracks for me are: Coming To Save You, In Your Arms, A Warning Sign, Here It Comes.
Like a lot of albums you wont get a true taste of what it's about until a few plays. Sunshine Underground have matured and progressed as a band. Raise The Alarm was a good album and this follow up is more than a worthy successor from the Leeds band. More importantly for fans however, with this sudden coming of age, the band have kept their identity along with getting over the second album hurdle. Nobody's Coming To Save you is a good album especially after a couple of listens. 7/10
