    While it may be too easy to reach for the word "cinematic," it can't be avoided. [Dec 2015, p.104]

    It’s a lovely collection showing the band’s evolution while acknowledging the songwriting that made its name. It’s also unabashedly stuffed with gooey strings and all manner of dopey Broadway musical-style cheese. Indulgent? A little, but that’s part of the fun.

    Granted, Brass doesn’t exactly qualify as real rock, indie or otherwise. Still, there’s passion that’s gleaned from British Sea Power’s attempt at something bolder, a sweeping sound that literally echoes from the rafters.
