Whilst I wanted more from this album as their other two have shown off their talents (and they really are talented) in different and exciting ways, you can’t knock the solidity of it. It’s a rock album more gentle than most of AC/DC but has tracks like
Wild Child with Tom Morello (yup, Rage Against the Machine Tom Morello) which quench the thirst for the deeper, flirty rock the Struts have mastered.
Overall,
Strange Days is not what I wanted, but what I got was something I’m still happy to belt out loud to, especially
All Dressed Up (With Nowhere To Go) as I dance in the uni kitchen in my abandoned boat party clothes.
