The first two songs of the album, “The Appeal & The Mindsweep I” and “The One True Colour” (they’re British), are fantastic. I’ll start by simply saying that I like most of it. It’s joined Take To The Skies as an album with staying power and that brings us up-to-date with their 2015 release The Mindsweep. It didn’t have the face melting power of Take To The Skies, but instead, a more soulful power all it’s own that I can still get lost in 2 years later. In 2012 Enter Shikari returned to rock this reviewer’s world with A Flash Of Color, which I loved from start to finish. In 2009, they came roaring back with Common Dreads which I liked and enjoyed, but didn’t love, thus it never ended up making it into my rotating list of “currently obsessed with” albums. I was worried they had peaked with their first album. After buying a new face and rejoining society I patiently awaited their next album, which they put out in 2008 with We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don’t Want Us To Escape, and even though it didn’t do much more than warm my cheeks, it was a fun EP. In 2007, Enter Shikari melted my face with Take To The Skies (“Anything Can Happen…” especially impressed me then).
