The direct antithesis of punk,Rumoursis all coke-fuelled, partner-swapping love and malice in the shadows, spoken through bright and true, bear-all confessions. Spiritually potent and scathingly shallow, in turns. Tight buoyant rhythm, brash ’n cocky guitar leads and gauzy bewitching vocals, cloaked in an immaculate and breathable production. Likely the most A-grade pop-rock album ever made.
