Album Review: Nothing But Thieves - Broken Machine

"Powerful themes of self-discovery and pain that rip right through your chest."

More Nothing But Thieves More Nothing But Thieves

Full of hard hitting beats and gritty, dirty guitar work, Nothing But Thieves are back with their second studio album Broken Machine.

From the electrifying opener, I Was Just A Kid, to the emotive and expressive Sorry ("Maybe I'm defective / Or maybe I'm dumb"), frontman Conor Mason's exceptional vocal talents shine throughout, accompanying the powerful themes of self-discovery and pain that rip right through your chest. The heavenly poetical lyrics continue in Particles ("And if I need to rearrange my particles / I will for you") and when paired with the band's stellar execution and rock star image, illustrates a perfect example of 21st century rock'n'roll.
