  1. Emergency isn't quite the great leap that was expected but does at least carry a few optimistic signs for the future.

    Those Libertines comparisons are a distant memory on Emergency, an album that ditches any tentativeness felt on last year's "Wait For Me," the band and producer Stephen Street going for Yorkshire-patented, Kaiser Chief-sized choruses, and Arctic Monkeys' kitchen-sink philosophising in the verses. [June 2008, p.102]

    Emergency is a confident second dose, not a lazy repeat. [June 2008, p.139]
