TRUST

About ten years ago, I had more or less given up on this band. "Pleasure and the pain was probably one of the absolute worst (if not THE worst) effort a group or artist I had ever liked ever did come up with...ever. Yes, I am rubbing it in. But a few years later it seemed they had recovered and made House of cards" a really decent listening experience. Nowadays I only take the time to check up on them once every third album or something like that. And Trust" is quite a nice one, not on a par with their absolute highlights, but enjoyable, catchy and without really abominable entries. I like it, not feeling overwhelmed but entertained. Especially the basically power pop-tunes like the title track, "It's your life" and "That's as far as I'll go" works well. All this adds up to, I think, three solid stars, bordering on a fourth but not quite.
