CD We Are Scientists - Brain Thrust Mastery (Importado)

We Are Scientists shocked themselves and impressed many others with their 2005 debut 'With Love & Squalor', which went gold in the UK (145,000 units) on the strength of the already-classic singles 'The Great Escape', 'Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt' and 'It's A Hit'. Twenty months of near-constant touring culminated in a sold-out UK tour, including two nights at Brixton Academy in autumn 2006, plus a very pleasant Christmas. The band spent 2007 at weight-loss camps, alcoholics' dry-out facilities, and a race car school, yet also found time to pen, record and road-test their sophomore offering 'Brain Thrust Mastery'. If WAS's first album had been far, far better than it was, and of a far more mature style, and if they had then released a limp, unenjoyable second record, and if 'Brain Thrust Mastery were actually their third album, it would be hailed as a "return to form", as "equal to - in many ways an improvement on - the monumental debut".
