Funeral for a friend : Memory and Humanity


The fourth album from the Welsh rockers is a return to their roots, with a polished twist. ‘Memory and Humanity’ seems to take the best aspects from each of FFAF’s first three studio albums, and combine them, to make it their most mature work yet. It has the raw energy and passion of ‘Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation’, the controversial topics and lyrics of ‘Hours’, and the polished finish of ‘Tales Don’t Tell Themselves.’ Tracks manage to combine the heavy sound of their first work, and the excellent song writing and catchy riffs of the previous two. “Kicking and Screaming’ is a stand-out track. ‘Funeral for a Friend’ have made a powerful return to form.
