While regarded as one of indie rock's most trailblazing guitarists, Marr is still comfortable enough to let the keyboards and dancefloor beats take over from time to time, always in a tasteful manner that serves the song. "New Dominions" is anchored by heavily synthesized drum programming that meshes well with the industrial guitar slashing. "My Eternal" is fueled by an anxious synthpop beat that recalls classic Gary Numan.
But it's not all synth sequencing and a Ray Bradbury jones. "Hey Angel" has enough rocking, hip-swaying swagger – not to mention a full-on bluesy guitar solo – to satisfy Marr fans who didn't necessarily warm up to his Bernard Sumner collaborations. Old-school Smiths fans will also find plenty to appreciate here, as album highlight "Hi Hello" includes chiming guitars and aching minor-key chords that wouldn't sound out of place on
Strangeways, Here We Come. The loose funk riffs of "Bug" evoke a bit of Britpop's more enjoyable moments, and the smart song structure of "A Different Gun" sounds like Beatlemania filtered through '90s Manchester.
