Album Review: Alright The Captain - SNIB

Alright The Captain have attempted the almost impossible: creating a full-length album with virtually no vocals. That's right, 10 tracks without a hint of a lyric, bar two lines in two songs. It's ambitious to say the least. But guess what? It turns out that vocals are quite a vital part of a good record. Even if the three-piece had included any, I'm still not convinced that 'SNIB' would be anything special. The experimental prog-rock sound is an acquired taste at best, and one that I clearly haven't developed yet.
