The Rifles reloaded and are now ready to take on the world with album number two. Just like their debut, “Great Escape” is filled with the kind of uncomplicated guitarpop our UK brethren are known for. The tracks on here combine Britpop with a little bit of punk and steal some from the sixties. But that’s okay when you end up with a collection of songs as catchy as these here.
While “Science Is Violence” sounds like Editors, “The General” proves that Alex Turner and his Last Shadow Puppets are not the only ones that know their way around a string arrangement. The Pigeon Detectives is another name that came to mind more than once. So original? Far from it! But that doesn’t take anything away from the fun.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
