Album Review: Enter Shikari - The Spark

British alternative rock four-piece Enter Shikari bring it back with their fifth studio album The Spark.

Rabble Rouser could easily soundtrack a fight scene and gives off a bit of a Prodigy vibe. The electric synths and guitars buzz beneath Rou Reynolds' smooth vocals in Live Outside, while Airfield is a beautifully touching ballad with heartfelt lyrics about friendship. Instrumental title track The Spark is a waste of 49 seconds that could have been used more effectively, unlike The Revolt Of The Atoms. With its familiar, if unexciting, underlying beat it almost belongs on a Midnight Oil album.
