Release Notes:

This is the Limited enhanced Japanese 2 CD edition, the second
disc contains some nice mixes and bonus tracks.

The Music are a paradox. The band have great songs, are
respected among critics and peers, and offer something a
little different - so why are they still touring university
venues when other acts who emerged around the same time are
filling stadiums?

Perhaps it is their presumptuous name, perhaps it is their
absence due to lead singer Robert Harvey\'s struggles with
addiction, or perhaps even it is a their inability to be
catagorised - but listening to their third album, it is clear
that none of this really matters.

From the opening title track, Strength In Numbers stamps its
presence like a hobnail boot and will you having playing air
bass and pumping your fists with glee. Drugs and Get Through
It recall late 90\'s era Primal Scream and Fire is reminiscent
of the John Lydon/Leftfield classic Open Up.

There is no doubt that on occasion Strength In Numbers walks a
predictable line, but its soaring vocals and diesel-powered
guitars are enough to make it a welcome break from the
faux-80s drivel currently being marketed as worthy of your
hard-earned dough.
