Del Amitri (Greek for "from the womb") births another album's worth of pop-rock nuggets dealing with the tenuous state of romantic relationships. Forgoing the darker, lengthier ruminations of their prior album TWISTED, Del Amitri keeps most of their songs close to the three-minute mark while tossing together an intriguing mix of trashy guitar, gorgeous strings and country twang. The title track is a perfect juxtaposition of dirty-sounding fretwork and sweeping strings that perfectly offsets the chiming, Byrds-like guitar pop of "Not Where It's At." The Nashville influence appears on "Life Is Full," a stomper with tinkling piano, and the country-soul of "Won't Make It Better," where Justin Currie comes off sounding like a modern-day Pete Ham. Despite all this strum-and-twang, rock 'n' roll is their true calling, and these Scots show it with the in-your-face guitar work of the sassy, Oasis-meets-Suede "High Times" and the reverb-soaked raucousness of "Medicine."
