Fucked Up - Glass Boys

Review by Dave Hanratty

This is not a passing of the torch. Not yet. It's not time to let go.»

Rough Trade Amazon UK iTunes UK

Fucked Up's 'Chemistry Of Common Life' (2008 and 'David Comes To Life' (2011) were as conceptually ambitious as any rock albums in recent memory ; 'Glass Boys' while a more personal work in terms of subject matter, is the result of 13 months spent in a succession of U.S. and Canadian studios with the assistance of Bill Skibbe and Leon Taheny. But while we're tempted to make a very big deal about how amazing the recording is (the guitar trio of Mike Haliechuk, Ben Cook, and Josh Zucker have delivered their most powerful and multi-dimensional performances to date), the real story's in the songs : with vocalist Damian Abraham leaving-it-all-on-the-floor (apologies for the sports analogy), Fucked Up are tackling tougher questions about themselves, their lives and where this is all going. 'Glass Boys' is a blazing, titanic, ultimately triumphant rock album...a heart-expanding, life-affirming piece of work.
