AMG Review of Romance Is Boring

Tim Sendra
All Music Guide

Los Campesinos! third album 2010’s Romance is Boring aims to be an amalgamation of their first two records, blending the headlong rush of energy that was Hold On Now, Youngsters…. with the thoughtful moodiness of the difficult second album We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed. The title track, with it’s hooky sing-along chorus, is the albums highlight, though there are a few others that challenge for the spot.
