Personal Review:

Listening to Acts of Man & Rulers Ruling All things it appears that Midlake is on course to supersede their previously acclaimed album "The Trials of Van Occupanther." The new single and b-side expand on their previous formula with lush compositions and emotive lyrics. Lead vocalist Tim Smith continues to up the bar with his textured voice complementing the overall atmosphere of the tracks. If Acts of Man/Rulers Ruling All Things are any indication of the Midlakes upcoming release, it is safe to say that "The Courage of Others" will set the bar high early for music in 2010.
