Opinion is largely divided on the new album from The Thrills – the follow up to last year’s hugely successful So Much For The City. Two of Hot Press’ leading critics join the fray. Prosecution: Niall Crumlish Defence: Tanya Sweeney

Tanya Sweeney: "Far from being a let-down, Let’s Bottle Bohemia stands as a paragon of wonderfully-crafted pop perfection."

Niall Crumlish: "What’s missing from The Thrills is trust that their internal lives, unobscured by secondhand imagery and legs up from heroes for hire, will be enough to sustain us."
