Paul Smith, Maximo Park's frontman, was the Ray Davies of the "new generation": a poignant chronicler of his times who used addictive hooks and riffs (and rhythms) to capture the attention of his audience.
The frenzied dance-pop of A Certain Trigger (2005) was ultimately just a more streamlined version of Franz Ferdinand and the Futureheads, and perhaps also the catchiest of the three
(Now I'm All Over The Shop, Apply Some Pressure, The Coast Is Always Changing, The Night I Lost My Head).
Our Earthly Pleasures (2007) was more varied and refined
(Girls Who Play Guitars, Karaoke Plays)
but lacked the verve and infectiousness of the debut.
Missing Songs (Warp, 2006)
is a collection of B sides.
Quicken The Heart (Warp, 2009) contains
The Kids Are Sick Again and Wraithlike, but it's just routine by
a band that never had any idea other than jump on somebody else's bandwagon.
