Broken Machine by Nothing But Thieves

Broken Machine, the second album from Nothing But Thieves, landed through RCA and Sony Music on September 8, 2017, two years after the Southend-on-Sea five-piece's self-titled debut. Mike Crossey produced, and he gives them room to lurch from grinding hard-rock riffs to wide-open slow-burners without the seams showing.
Conor Mason's voice is the headline, climbing for the rafters, while Joe Langridge-Brown and Dominic Craik stack guitars and keys and Philip Blake and James Price hit hard underneath. The Jeff Buckley and Muse comparisons that trail this band make sense here. "Amsterdam" and "Sorry" both made the countdowns. Critics heard a band sharpening its identity, The Independent counted it among the year's best rock albums, and it climbed to number two on the UK Albums Chart.
