Are these guys collectively feeling the pressure of diminishing critical returns since 2003's The Decline Of The British Sea Power?

For their second disc, British Sea Power declare open season on all those Joy Division and Pixies comparisons that dogged their debut, but almost end up shooting themselves in the process. In a strange 180-degree turn, the quintet skip the post-punk growl that marked their acclaimed first disc and focus on Brit-pop. Yan's breathless vocals still...
