If you've followed Dinosaur Pile-Up since the start you'll be accustomed to the huge sound that the three of them make, but Anxiety Trip might just be their biggest to date. Implementing some of The Pixies signature quiet-loud-quite timings, the track is a beast and the highlight of the album. Might As Well follows, the opening sounding very Nirvana-esque with the vocals sounding a bit more American 'punk-rock'. The combination is a ballad of sorts and a nice change to the intense riffs of its predecessors.

Gimme Something and Bad Penny are both full paced assaults on the ears with the latter having a Bronx tone, which is never a bad thing. These tracks between them only rack up around 4 minutes of your time, but it's a superb quality of minute you'll be spending listening to it. Crystalline is a humdinger for In Utero Nirvana, but a bit more upbeat and Cross My Heart closes the album with a 'nicer' track than has been experienced for the past 40 minutes and is a nice come down to finish on. A really very strong 40 minutes too, containing some brilliantly written rock songs that you'll tap and sing along to.

Dinosaur Pile-Up's latest album is upon us and it feels like a modern day grunge tale. It's punchy and it's tight. These guys deserve for this album to catapult them onwards and upwards and I can't wait to see it live next month.
