Heartbreakingly honest, stunningly crafted and ramshackle. Or not as the case actually is. Shitty bum bastards, wank you ass backwards. they’ve often been likened to Tom Waits, B Diddy and Nick fucking dark Cave, but only by fools. The Cold War Kids are alright in the end but for fuck sake some perspective please.
They’re not particularly fantastic. There’s some decent songs and they can tell a story without seeming to labour it, but really who cares?
