There has been a lot of hype surrounding The Matches' third album, A Band in Hope, and much of it is well deserved. Although many long time Matches fans may be surprised by the bands' new direction, they can sleep easy because once again their album is top quality, complete with witty hooks and catchy beats. The only track that is slightly disappointing is Darkness Rising. The vocals are still strong, but the song just sounds like a pathetic attempt at a Queen cover even though it is a Matches original. Other than this, it's a solid album, and whether this is the first time you've heard of The Matches or you've loved them since they were the Locals you're sure to like this album.
