“Buildings” is a little too catchy to make a smart pun about the band’s name. But it’s true that what these Irish lads are doing on their debut doesn’t make a big splash. They swear by big guitars, lyrics about drinking and try to go for instantly memorable choruses yet never quite make it despite their efforts. There’s simply been too many indie rock bands out of the UK who are better than what these guys do on “Buildings”. I do like the Sheila Divine echoes that pop up here and there but that doesn’t save this album from blending in with all the other ‘not quite’ albums into one big anonymous mess.
Score: 5 out of 10
