The quartet wear their influences proudly, at times almost offensively so. The album’s closer “Gentle Sons” has more than a passing resemblance to The Jesus & Mary Chain’s “Just Like Honey.” One could continue the guessing game of which parts of which tracks were influenced by which bands. However such...
