Superabundance
Transgressive

Thinking back on it, the Young Knives debut had oodles of wit and class but not enough punch. Even the songs that became indie anthems never managed to really get you in the gut. Effort two solves the problem. It’s bigger, beefier, shinier, but not some sell-out, going for the gold crap. The sharp observational lyrics remain and the humour is perhaps even darker. Good, very English stuff. This will turn them into an institution.
