Review: Ash - Twilight Of The Innocents

Today, Ash will release their final studio album, Twilight Of The Innocents (Europe only, US date TBD). In case you missed the news last month, the band has promised us myriad singles over the next few years, but no future full-length albums.

For someone who has been following Ash's career since the mid-'90s, such as myself, this declaration was slightly disillusioning. It also raised my expectations for Twilight Of The Innocents to astronomical heights. Thankfully, my disappointment has completely vanished upon hearing Twilight in its entirety this past weekend.

Twilight has the vigor and radiance that I've come to know and love from Ash. Each of the album's 12 tracks are classic, in their own right. From the soaring opening riffs of 'I Started A Fire' to the closing chords of the album's title track, Twilight is truly spectacular. Kudos, boys. Check out one of the LP's catchiest tunes below.
