While The Whigs were already a more than decent band on their first two albums, you would’ve been hard-pressed to sing one of their songs a couple of hours later. As if their shows with Kings Of Leon showed them the way, “In The Dark” shows these guys with a more open and direct sound.
“Kill Me Carolyne” is an upbeat track with a nice chorus, “Someone’s Daughter” shows the band’s nastier side and “Automatic” is a fine song about the brokenhearted. It’s all done pretty good and the album offers plenty of variety. Like I said, they already were more than a decent band. And while “In The Dark” is a step forward, it’s still lacking that something that makes a band remarkable. If you’re into power trios, you might want to check these guys out… just don’t expect too much of it.
Score: 6 out of 10
