"I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in..."
After the over-long, and rather depressing, Living With the Living, Leo returns with the hope-filled new record The Brutalist Bricks.
With no Bush in the White House to bait, Obama's stint in the Oval Office has brought Ted and the boys out fighting, but in positive mode. From the multiple false endings of 'The Mighty Sparrow' through to 'Last Days' 12 songs later, the album grabs you and doesn't let go.
This is polemical, political guitar rock, laden with hooks and riffs, and despite some reviewers claiming that Leo's lyrics are verging on the clumsy and blunt, I defy anyone not to sing along with the plea for "I still want your heart beating on mine" contained in album highpoint 'Ativan Eyes'.
