Our Take

The Charlatans have always been masters of blending indie rock with a touch of Madchester swagger, and their latest album, "The Limit Of The Marvelous," is no exception. With catchy hooks, infectious melodies, and a healthy dose of groove, this album is a solid addition to the band's already impressive discography.

From the opening track, "Talking in Tones," it's clear that The Charlatans haven't lost their touch. The song is a perfect example of their ability to blend jangly guitars and pulsating rhythms with Tim Burgess' distinctive vocals. It's a formula that works well throughout the album, with tracks like "So Oh" and "I Need You To Know" keeping the energy levels high.

Standout moments on the album include the dreamy "Come Home Baby," which sees Burgess at his most vulnerable, and the anthemic "In the Tall Grass," which is sure to be a live favourite. Meanwhile, tracks like "Emilie" and "Let the Good Times Be Never Ending" showcase the band's ability to write songs that are both emotionally resonant and dance floor-ready.

Overall, "The Limit Of The Marvelous" is a solid offering from The Charlatans. While it may not be groundbreaking, it's a reminder of why this band has endured for over three decades. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a pint, and let The Charlatans take you on a musical journey that's equal parts nostalgic and fresh. Cheers to that!
