Good lord! A Rock Of Travolta song with SINGING! Sellouts! But fear not, TROT die-hards, for the band remain as inventive as ever. The vocals on ‘Everything’s Opened Up’ - a slow, brooding weepy - come courtesy of Seafood’s David Line, violins by Goldrush’s Joe Bennet. As beautiful as they both sound, the song would fine without either. That’s progression for you, dahling. With a bit of a dip in the middle of the EP, ‘Oxygen Assisted’ is TROT back on form doing what they do best: pompous, tongue-in-cheek, instrumental proggy twists, for the air guitar generation who don’t give two shits about Steve Vai and his ilk. Who knows… maybe a year from now, they will have Jools Holland ruining their songs by playing boogie woogie piano over the top. We can but dream of this remarkable day.

The Rock Of Travolta - Everything's Opened Up

Yes, it is a great single, but the album? WOW, that has to be the best album of the year. Come on DIS get it reviewed now and if it gets less than 5/5 I will seriously question your judgement.
