A Fine Frenzy's 2007 debut album "One Cell In The Sea" was well received and loved by many, and so the anticipation for "Bomb In A Birdcage" was enormously high. I was overjoyed to find this album is true to the sound that made the first album so very good, just without as many slow moments.
If you like A Fine Frenzy and you think you'd like an album which is a bit more energetic than the first, you'll love this. I always thought that her first album was too slow in the second half, so I do absolutely adore this, and consider it an improvement overall. Of course "One Cell In The Sea" has some classics that can't be topped, but I would still prefer to listen to "Bomb In A Birdcage".
One thing to note is that the exclusive MP3 tracks from Amazon and iTunes are both INCREDIBLY good songs; not filler at all. I wish very much that both were included on all versions. Do yourself a favor and find a way to get them if you can. You will like the album even more with those gems tacked onto the end. The iTunes song is called "Coming Around" and the Amazon one is "Silent War". It really saddens me to think that not everyone who buys this is going to hear these songs.
