Since Girl From Mars I have expected Ash to show some kind of consistent improvement, or even progression, and recently I've realised that not only has this not happened yet, it is not going to happen at all. Twelve years is a long time to wait. They get no tick.
Perhaps I'm easily pleased then - I really liked Girl from Mars, and even though I acknowledge they haven't realled progressed all that much they still keep knocking out good tunes and I'm happy with that.
I think I built them up a bit much, really - Girl From Mars is one of my favourite songs ever and every time I listened to it I would think, "and the next album is going to be even better!" I don't dislike their new song at all -it's not 'not a tick' in the way that Ocean Colour Scene is 'not a tick' -it just sounds a bit too familiar.
I only came in around Free All Angels, but I think this kind of sums up my view as well. It always seems like there's the seed of something there that's going to bloom fantastically, and it just never does.
