You used to know where you were with Stereophonics. They offer up some mid-tempo plodders who paints images in two dimensions of life in dead-end towns, and the journalist-loathing, Kelly Jones strain his singing dreaming it was Rod Stewart in the faces . All this is done with such seriousness that we could hate them all day long. Then, a strange thing happened. In 2005, they released 'Dakota' - a very good, no-nonsense single - and an album of some merit. And they disappeared and only done it. "Pull The Pin" urgency, a sense of threat and if it deals with issues such as war ( "The soldiers make good targets"), and the London bombings, there was little moralistic discourse of the old were Stereophonics guilty of spouting. This is a significant record of rock'n'roll by a band that are difficult to like, but impossible to ignore.
