Men's Needs

Hitherto of very little interest to anyone outside of the NME inner circle, the Cribs have decamped to New York to work with Alex Kapranos and, on this evidence at any rate, get quite a lot better. ‘Men’s Needs’ finds them a lot more focused than before and sounding like a proper band as opposed to a bunch of drunk teenagers, all of which is an improvement.
