Frontman Roddy Woomble has a voice (and name) that could only lead to rock stardom — a sober but heartfelt inflection that recalls both Michael Stipe and Morrissey, while imitating neither. On the Edinburgh quartet's second album, Woomble's vocals are backed by rousing punk guitars and a ceaseless energy. The results are flashes of beauty and menace, often (as on ''Actually It's Darkness'') in one song.
