Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
Rebooting love as a concept may sound eerie, unnerving, cold, in the modern era, the constant need for affirmation is upon us, the signs are there, the way forward is from the ashes of neglect comes further hardship, the fall of hope, the springboard of the eternal. It is in the signs provided the less than truthful, the ones who have a vested interest in keeping the supply of love rebounding that we have to be wary of.
