'Sparks', the 3rd and personally best album by rock band Fiction Plane, fronted by lead singer and bass player Joe Sumner (son of Sting), guitarist Seton Daunt and drummer Pete Wilhoit is a parade of intensity, indulgence and ambition. It is not often every song on an album is prominent but this is an example of how to do it. Each song is memorable and glorious both musically and lyrically. A 6 minute track is just as punchy as a 3 minute single. My favourite tracks on the album; 'Two Sparks' and 'Tommy' are hard hitting, dominant rock. 'Denied' to me is unique. The song depending on where you are has such a different impact on how you hear it like lying on grass on a sunny day or walking in rain and 'Angel Eyes' (which is 1 of 3 songs only available on the limited edition) has a chorus so punchy your body cannot resist to move to its rhythm. All the limited edition songs too have rifts and chords that will just engulf your speakers. 'Sparks' is an overwhelming display of precision.
