So glad Cal graduated from the Tortured Poets Department and became Anthony’s English teacher 🥰

Found "World's Biggest Paving Slab" nearly a year ago looking for new stuff. I can't believe this is their first album. Song felt like something older that I stumbled across.

I think Albert Road is my song of the year. Though you'd probably only get the most out of the lyrics if you're familiar with the experience of growing up in a Northern English market town.

i found this band a couple months ago in the leadup to this album and thought the collection of singles was an EP and that that was all we were gonna get from them. so glad this album came out because it's really good and adds to my evergrowing collection of uk indie bands i can't get enough of. bcnr, divorce, and yard act being some other of my faves currently.

Had the pleasure of seeing them live a few months back, beyond excellent, they are going to do something special one day. However, the album is just a bit too mid-tempo to really live up to the hype. However, there’s so much potential on show here I can’t help be excited for whatever comes next. The World’s Biggest Paving Slab goes so, so hard.

Sometimes, like on World's Biggest, there's something about the engineering that leads to the guitars and sounds in general on this record lacking an edge and blending together into a nondescript jumble of noise, not nearly as pleasant as shoegaze records like the recent feeble little horse album, but still hard and I'll admit this is still a great record and I enjoyed it most of the time. It's sometimes giving BC,NR, like Broken Biscuits could've flat out been on Live at Bush Hall between the instrumental movements and the vocal switches from singing to deadpan. But their range to also pull off something more aggressive seemed good too. They're clearly very capable and I look forward to more, the engineering was just a huge snag that held back this record's best songs for me.

I've listened to this album a few times now and, yep, this is a pretty fair review, although I believe I like it more than Anthony. As a sidenote, however, I really don't like the album art. It reminds me of something dada/surrealist Max Ernst might've done, which is what I think they were going for, but not nearly as good.
