Fucked Up tackle the rock opera! Third album from the Canadian punk gods and it's at least as ambitious as 'The Chemistry of Common Life'.
Split across four acts, it sees increased female vocals work in perfect contrast to Damian Abraham's wounded bull growl. The band, meanwhile, provide more space for the flourishes and imaginative song-writing that entwine their love of fey British indie pop with heavy riffing, amidst some genuinely twisted turns.
Then there comes the story that ties it together: 'David Comes to Life' appears to be a parable of lost love, global meltdown, depression, war, guilt and madness. Or is it? A modern day morality tale set to the dour backdrop of a British industrial town in the late 70s, the narrative follows the dark moods and inner psyche of its titular hero.
