Just as often, they languish in their own pretensions, achieving a fraction of what they set out to do. At their best, Geneva surges with power, creating grand soundscapes with folky overtones and powerful backbeats. Like Tim Booth, Andrew Montgomery's yearning falsetto calls attention to himself, and he does have an extraordinary voice. However, the band hasn't figured out how to harness its power with suitable songs. Most of the songs on Further spill forward with determination, but they don't really go anywhere, which is confirmed by songs as breathtakingly assured and pretty as "Into the Blue." Those are the moments that make Further into a promising, occasionally remarkable, debut, yet there aren't quite enough of them to make it a fully successful record.

如果一张专集有4星的配乐、3星的演唱、2星的旋律,那么这张专集应该被打多少分?很遗憾,我给出的分数是1星。确实,这是一个比木桶原理更让人沮丧的结果。Geneva的编配让人不由自主的想到了Suede,应该说是很有功力的。然而与配乐完全不搭配的唱腔,加上平庸的旋律,让人对这张专集的好感大大降低。也许这支来自苏格兰的乐队可以考虑换个主唱了。
