You me at six - Sinners Never Sleep album review

Three albums on and the You Me At Six boys are back and better than ever with their latest album 'Sinners never sleep'.  It had singled itself out to be the bands most exotic, upbeat album yet , and with the outst nding vocals from lead singer, Josh Franceschi, it's fair to say that will probably be their best album to date.

Everybody knows that abandoning their adolescent pop-rock completely would have been a rash move and the boys appear to know that. Since day one, heartthrob frontman Josh, has always been more than vocal with us about him being unlucky in love and doesn't hold back in trying to to make his worshippers empathise with him rather than appealing for sympathy. That being said, there's no doubt that him and the boys aren't lacking in a couple of  thousands of admirers  that would be more than happy to lick his wounds.

Opening single 'Loverboy' is enough to have your head spinning from the continious screaming of the catchy lyrics that will no doubt be stuck in your head all day and effectively bridges the gap between the first album 'Hold me down' and the new album. Hot on it's heels, is single number two 'Jaws on the floor' where the jaw-dropping guitar riff is matched by punchy lyrics then no soon after, followed by the song that is the epitome of the band's refreshing honesty throughout the album, 'Bite My Tongue' is not a song to skip.

Trying out for a slightly different sound becomes apparant, especially in the song 'Little bit of  truth' were the boys replicate a Biffy Clyro style song, juxtaposing the harshness of instruments with softness and bitter- sweetness of the lyrics. However, nearing to the end of the album, the boys spontaneous and unexpected change of sound in 'Time is money', proves they should stick to what they do best and stay away from the moshcore trend. Despite this, the small downfall is quickly fixed as The Dilemma's Revisionist love song, sees the band at it's best: fun, infectious and liberating 

Overall, the album 'Sinners never sleep' proves that there is more to You Me At Six than what meets the eye. From hardcore metal to the six strings and a silent room, the boys can do it all and proves that taking risks actually pay off. There is no doubt in my mind that any sinners will be sleeping after listening to this album.
