The D.O.T. were aiming for the allure and pop aesthetics of Pet Shop Boys, but landed somewhere closer to a Human League tribute act restricted to suburban garage performances.

Slow Summits is an eloquent, welcome return.

For all its rule breaking and genre stretching, In A Warzone works best when Transplants stay within their comfort zone, delivering punk rock at its most unpretentious and uncomplicated.

Lloyd, on It Never Ends, gifts us “I smell smoke/from an old flame”. Sadly, it’s a little bit stale.

By choice or by coercion Wale continues to try balancing both sides of the rap ledger and as such will find plenty of fans, though few who will enjoy The Gifted in its entirety.

If you can listen to BE without knowing who the band is, through shuffle or Spotify, there is much to like. However, the chances of the band ever escaping the Gallagher shackles are slim.
