Maximo Park are a special band. A Certain Trigger is one of my favorite albums of all time, brilliant musically and Paul Smiths lyrics are superbly poignant. Our Earthly Pleasures was admittedly a disappointment, but the highlights of the album are most definitely up there with Maximo's best. Seen them 4 times live now, twice at Leeds fest and twice in gigs of their own. I am so pleased that i'm back from my travels for the Leeds Academy date! News on album no.3 to come very shortly, very exciting stuff!
