Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We are teetering on the edge of an abyss, it may look the same as the other ones we have collectively come across, the sign posts look awfully familiar, the paint on the boards pointing away from the cliff, freshly touched up and given a bit more dynamic gloss, and the lemmings hurling themselves off the cliff is a mighty big clue that we have been this way before. However, the scenario is different now, so much more to lose, a bigger threat consumes us and having P.H.D. (Prison, Hospital, Debt) is arguably the only defence we have.
