New Maxïmo Park - "Russian Literature"
Maxïmo drop the Devo for "Russian Literature," instead mixing some acoustic piano into a three-minute burst that flips from calculated, post-punk segues into a straight-rock hook. This tune also has the line that gives the UK best-selling record its name: "Our earthly pleasure distract us against our will / Are you hopeful or just gullible?" Too deep a question for a Friday afternoon, so just download and enjoy.

The album is kind of like Bloc Party's new one in that the lyrics are really terrible but the music is...well...mediocre.
Score = 0
I personally thought that this album is much better than their debut, it shows growth and I already listened to it more than I listened to their debut that only had a few good songs but wasn't as good as a whole.
Score = 0
I thought the first record was brilliant. This one doesn't sustain as well after the first five or so songs. Still, it's better than 99% of the stuff out there.
