From the welcome of “Intro” through the first main track “Options” The Windupdeads show their potential class. “A Few Hours Of Light” shines with a radiant brilliance and has, of course, a memorable chorus. Other highlights include “The End” a swooping and soaring anthem, and the impressive “Sunblock”. With this material they have come up with a release that strings together effortlessly.
The centre piece can be seen as “Wide Open Windows”. This is Olsen’s track and showcases his smooth as milk voice. It hauntingly sets up one of the highlights on the album “Reverse Of Shade”. By this time, track nine, you know just what the band are about and this one strongly represents all their undoubted quality. The equally effective “No Actions No Regrets” hooks you from the very first note. The closing section includes “I’ll Pay You Back Someday” and “You Can Sleep When You’re Dead” both of which further underline the band's credentials.
The Windupdeads have written, performed and released an album that will gain them a lot of recognition. The tour of the States will help spread the word even wider. If they can repeat the formula without becoming too predictable then The Windupdeads could wind up very well known indeed.
