Angry cyclist

"The beauty of The Proclaimers is their capacity for making exceedingly catchy rhythms with an unmistakable flair for anything considered topical. On their eleventh studio album, Angry Cyclist, they remain steadfast and true to that formula ... Despite Angry Cyclist's shortcomings, the peaks are high enough to earn its place in the band's long, lustrous discography".

"Because of its variety of rhythms, infectious energy, and limited track lengths, Angry Cyclist's 13 tracks go by quickly. That, taken together with lyrics that are both playful and pointed, consistently strong melodies, and exuberant performances make it the type of album that would be fun see performed live in full, and one of their best".

"The Proclaimers must be one of the most underrated bands of all time.Dyed-in-the-wool blue-eyed soul boys, twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reid write and sing songs like it's the most important thing in the world ... Produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild), Angry Cyclist offers a little less gravitas than usual in truth, but the taut Telecasters that dominate The Proclaimers' eleventh studio album provide a tension that seems to sit well within the heart of these prescient compositions".
