Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

The tenderness of excitement is one that can only be held at bay for so long, eventually you have to give in to temptation, you have to open the box and peer, like a smiling, giddy Pandora, into the abyss and let the magic out. It is a magic, a substance of expression into which falls from the sky with proud and glad tidings the archetype of great bands The Buffalo Riot and their album Pale Blue Oceans.
