I don't know about anyone else but I've had the new album on repeat since yesterday morning and I've listened to it "about a hundred and sixty-seven times, and it keeps getting [better] every single time I [hear] it" (Beetlejuice).

I know I've already voted but I could take that vote back from "I'll find someone who will" and easily vote for "The World I Know".
Love the beginning guitar. Reminds me of AC/DC.

Folks,
Here's a review from the new issue of Classic Rock here in the UK.
The review is summarised as "Pop rock with intelligence & depth".
Ah, so here we go with a bunch of earnest Canadians who deal in introspective pop rock and look like overgrown students . This'll be fun eh ?
Well, you know what ? It is definately enjoyable. Entertaining even. Because the Trews aren't quite what you might expect from such a description.. On this their fouth album in eight years, they've a refreshing vitality and a tendency to look at the world in a quirky observational manner.
The songs all creep up on you, rather than being over-the-top. What they will ensure is that you'll want to go back and check them out again and again. Unlike so many other in this genre, they aren't content to come up with two or three reasonably hummable tunes, and then let them carry a record overladen with mediocrity. No, they want each song to be able to stand alone, unaided. an this approach works impressively. At times, this album brings to mind early Bryan Adams and Rush's musical aspirations. Colin MacDonald is clearly a singer who digs deep to bring emothions to the surface and then deals with the consequences. Already big news in their native country, Hope & Ruin might just lift them up here as well.
6/10. Review by Malcolm Dome.
A very positive review, but I don't think the 6/10 reflects the what is written. I'll email them to tell them about the live acoustic album too - they seem to have missed that one.
Cheers,
Leighton.
