2011 barely started and we already have a great release to appreciate. The guys from Brighton are back with a powerful album (their 5th studio one). Even tough a little longer than I expected, Valhalla Dancehall shows the band’s maturity, which is not much perceptible because the change is almost null, they are playing the same sound with the quality that gave them all the status, and now you can recognize a British Sea Power song without much effort. “Who’s in Control?” and ”We Are Sound” supplies a fantastic start to the album. I just thought the last third-part a little bit confuse. “Once more now” is a great post-rock but it looks like being out of context, the music isn’t even the last track. Again, the album should have been shorter for me. Although, in almost 60 minutes you will hear some pearls such as “Observe The Skies” and “Living is So Easy”. The album beginning is so exciting that I decide to leave it playing as a background soundtrack next time I have sex.
