Rating: I was listening to the early White Lies, the ones that hit it big: was it free will or luck? I don't know. I like them and I don't care, but... I ask myself again, and I really don't know what the hell to answer.
Today I have their second album in my hands. They may be good, quite good, or very good, but you can't even smell a hint of brilliance from afar.
"Ritual" is not a step back, but not a step forward either. The White Lies should have faced their destiny. Cowardly, they dodged it sideways.
Until the next opportunity (?).

"'Strangers' and 'Bigger Than Us' are truly two excellent tracks,"
"The rest of the CD... is trash, pure and simple."
