Open Season is a notch below British Sea Power's debut album, but it's still very, very good. They've definitely toned down their hard edge -- nothing rocks as hard as "Apologies To Insect Life" or even "Remember Me" from the first album. While I do miss them rocking out a bit, they've come up with some great melodies over which to sing their songs of love, nature, and arctic ice shelves. My personal favorites at the moment are "Oh Larsen B" and "Please Stand Up" which may be their best track yet. Some of the slower songs don't have as much impact, but overall the album is a winner. 8 out of 10.
