Album Review: El Rey by The Wedding Present

Very Good, Based on 1 Critic

AllMusic - 70
Based on rating 7/10

The pairing of the Wedding Present and engineer Steve Albini on 1991's Seamonsters was an inspired move on the group's part. His ultra-loud and thudding sound was a perfect match for a batch of David Gedge's most soul crushing songs in a career full of them. Revisiting Albini's studio proves to be a similarly wise move in 2008 for the band's seventh album, El Rey.
