Cavalier Youth topped the UK album chart upon release, proving that while You Me At Six might not have the star power in the States, they’re certainly a household name in their home country. As such, Cavalier Youth is brimming with the kind of rafter-reaching rock that’s tailor made for filling Wembley Arena, a venue the band are already familiar with. Unfortunately, the whole thing feels a bit sterile and focus-grouped to death—and that’s before we get to the Hunger Games reference on “Win Some, Lose Some.” Outside of “Fresh Start Fever” (in all its “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs”-lite glory), you’ve heard most of this before on previous YMAS records.
