Thanks for those.
The Quietus one is a little 'Pseud's Corner' for my liking with a few glaring errors. The journo clearly having fun with his Thesaurus.
Take ‘Who’s Joe’ from 2005’s Get Ready coming two songs in – it wasn’t their most thrilling moment then, and it isn’t now.
Right year but wrong album. It's a much maligned track but I really enjoyed hearing it both times at MIF.
Dream Attack’ follows, the final and only guitar-led song on Technique
Surely, he means final guitar-led song "of the set"? Technique has All The Way, Love Less, Guilty Partner... RUN? All heavily 'guitar-led'.
‘Shellshock’ also surges like a statement of intent, about life, about love, about music. “It's never enough/ It's never enough/until your heart stops beating,” sings the 61-year-old in the centre of the stage, who you sense, at that moment, might never stop dancing. We’re reminded of where we’re going, but in a spirit of energy and utter euphoria.
Commander Gilbert filter-sweeping the melody through the room, our minds, our muscles, our memories.

It is great that Gillian is a Commander of the British Empire, but Steven and Peter and Bernard are likely going to be decorated as well, soon , hopefully .Commander Sumner sounds good. Or Sir Bernard. Of course , I could get excited if Crosby, Stills,Nash , and Bernard got together for a few weeks. The article is ok, it not easy to be an Edmund Crispin .

- Who's Joe is probably the best track on WFTSC, but Turn is a cuntender.
- All journobabble and no truth.
