After the disastrous Nu-Clear Sounds, Ash have calmed the hell down and turned themselves back in the right direction. On Free All Angels, their third album, they sound more well rounded, though it’s still your basic power pop record with some So-Cal punk thrown in and a few little symphonic segments that seem out of place. This may sound like a good combination, but frankly, the hype is a little overblown. A couple of these tunes should fit nicely on some teen movie soundtrack.
