Title: To tear it down and start again
Review: Almost four stars would be a more accurate grade.Every Saint Etienne CD has a different feel and this one is no exception. It took about a week to get hooked; now it's always in or near the stereo. It's no "So Tough," but it's in the same neighborhood as "Sound of Water" and "Good Humour" -- poppier than the former, less so than the latter.There are still some songs I can't get into: "Amateur" is nerve wracking and the "Soft Like Me" rap isn't even enjoyable in an ironic way. However, "Action" is an immediately catchy single and "The Way We Live," "Stop and Think," and "Finisterre" are welcome additions to the canon.
