After the astounding 2003 debut album "The Decline of British Sea Power", the band somehow lost the pedals on a so-so sophomore 2005 album "Open Season", leaving us to wonder whether the band was a one-album wonder. Now comes finally the third album, and the answer is clear.
"Do You Like Rock Music?" (12 tracks, 55 min.) finds the band in its winning ways again. After a brief intro "All In It", the album crashes in with "Lights Out For Darker Skies", and it's immediately clear that the band has moved on from "Open Season", with a refound focus. The first half of album just flows by, with great tracks like "Waving Flags" and "Down On the Ground", which is for me the best track on the album. The second half of the album is not as strong, hampered by the instrumental "The Great Skua" which really doesn't flow well with the rest of the album. It is in turn followed by "Atom" which goes from slow to super-charged. But the closer "We Close Our Eyes" (a reworked/expanded version of the opener "All In It" ) is an epic 8+ min. track that quite nicely bookends the album.
