DescriptionShriekback are an English rock band who formed in North London in 1981. The band have split up and reformed a number oftimes since then, most noticeably the group released no material for seven years in the 1990s. \'Life In The Loading Bay\' is the Kentish Town outfit\'s 13th full-length studio album, their first since 2007\'s \'Glory Bumps\'.Mr Andrews and his fluctuating team of colleagues present another creative and strong long-player. This time drummer Martyn Barker is nowhere to be seen but erstwhile (co-)lead vocalist Carl Marsh pops up on 2 tracks, including the nostalgic sounding \"Flowers Of Angst\". Think \"Jam Science\" (though slightly less computerised) and \"Oil and Gold\" and this is more the feel of around 50% of this album. I feel there are a lot more programmed drum-loops here than previous two Malicious damage releases, so this keeps things fresh, yet sounding retro. There is a mispressing inasmuch as Tracks 8 and 9 are swapped on the disc (they may or may not correct this later), so \"Flowers of Angst\" moves to a slot it wasn\'t intended for. However the album still flows very well, just was a bit of a surprise as I\'d heard that track online (and loved it) so went to track 8 as a taster first! Artwork is standard digipack with foldout insert and inner card sleeve to protect the CD. Not quite as fancy as the last two (no postcards), but does include full lyrics in easy to read format. Really I would rate at 4.5 stars, due to the fact Carl appears to have any real involvement on 2 out of 11 tracks (I\'d hoped for a few more) so this was a very slight disappointment. It\'s still great though!
