Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will
(Sub Pop)
(Sub Pop)
Just to start off I've gotta say what a great title this album has, I mean honestly, congratulations all around.
The Scottish five piece is back after 08's The Hawk is Howling with the slightly toned down and more accessible Hardcore will never Die, But You Will . I think it's important to say that along with the great title the band is also giving away ear plugs with the album. I point this out only to showcase the fact that Mogwai has a great sense of humor, an important departure from their more brooding peers. This mentality might help explain why lately their sound is not always as cinematic as Godspeed or dramatic as Sigur Ros. Bands that people tend to want to compare them to but shouldn't. They simply want to have have fun, rock out and craft interesting songs. And they did. This is a well crafted, if not a little simpler, Mogwai album. It's fun, it gets you excited and it doesn't disappoint.
