A safe, rather than exciting, choice of single.

There is no doubt this album has hidden gems.

<b>'1989'</b> is less immediate, not less brilliant.

<b>The Rakes</b> have mixed together very well positive and negative in an album that not only kneels down and begs for repeated plays, but also provokes a bit of thought.

In between <b>Alan</b> telling us about his sisters' floor-laying plans (or 'real DIY' as he put it) and declaring his love for members of <b>Bloc Party</b>, we got them to answer some questions.

This is where <b>The Rakes</b> excel: one of the majority, loved by a minority - and that, above the downhearted reflections upon society that their tracks portray, is the real shame.
