Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger - CD
Amazon.co.uk
This, the debut album from rakish Northern English post-punks Maximo Park, is certainly not the sort of album you expect to find on acclaimed techno label Warp Records but a sitting spent with A Certain Trigger should neatly demonstrate why they couldn't say no. A hyper-tuneful indie-rock outfit in the vein of XTC, Gang of Four, and particularly modern peers The Futureheads, Maximo turn out the sort of breathless, keyboard-drenched art-pop numbers that neither forsake their Englishness frontman Paul Smith sings in his native accent, a broad Newcastle accent nor bow excessively to the past. The immediate hit is "Apply Some Pressure", an instantly catchy mini-masterpiece of tension and relief that appears to be stitched out of the hooks from about five other songs but hot on its heels come the likes of "Graffiti" and "Going Missing", which, while slow-burning, prove no less addictive in the long haul. And for all the smart assery on display, Maximo Park prove agreeably adept at pulling off the odd tender moment: see the sweet, chiming "The Coast Is Always Changing" a tale of love, loss and long-distant train journeys. --Louis Pattison

4.0 out of 5 stars Buen producto
Si bien en la parte trasera presenta un daño en la caja, lo principal que es el CD está nuevo, además de que en general está bien cuidado, posiblemente el daño en la caja fue por el viaje.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on an underground future classic
The best praise I can give this album is that it has been in my car's cd player for over a month straight, and it has never grown old. These five guys just know how to write good old fashion catchy songs that will stick in your head days.
For those of you who like to categorize your music, good luck with this one. They mix mod danceability and beats with Cure style pop riffs and throw in some post punk bar chords to boot, stealing pretty much just the best parts of all of the above. The only thing that I think might throw some people is the singers voice. It is a bit quirky in its sound, and his accent is unabashed. I find both just make the album more endearing with each listen, but am not sure everyone would agree.
