My first reaction after hearing These Four Walls was that it grabs you by the balls nice and early, in fact the first song 'It's Thunder and It's Lightening' takes all of two minutes to get your attention, with a loud, echoey, pop hooked chorus which was more than enough to entice me. After that 'These Four Walls' takes a more mellow approach with a lot more ambiance and more focus on single guitar lines and the (very Scottish) vocals, there are also a few numbers that seem to mix their melodramatic sound with upbeat indie, 'Moving Clocks Run Slow' for instance which, judging by the standard of some of the other songs probably shouldn't be on the album.
We Were Promised Jetpacks have a certain charm about them that have really caught my attention, they have a lot of potential and when they get noisy it sounds brilliant I just wish they had a few more tracks that showcase what they certainly can achieve.
