But is it any good?<\/p>\n<p>The answer to that is simple: Yes. In fact, it is very good. Pop punk sensibilities meet highly personal lyrics on tracks like &#8216;4 Months&rsquo; whilst the name drop of West Quay in <em>&#8216;Every Little Thing She Does Is Tragic&rsquo;<\/em> reminds everyone that OTDH are proudly a product of the south.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=&ldquo;http:\/\/ourtimedownhere.bandcamp.com\/album\/midnight-mass&rdquo; data-mce-href=&ldquo;http:\/\/ourtimedownhere.bandcamp.com\/album\/midnight-mass&rdquo;&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Midnight Mass by Our Time Down Here&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say this is a flawless album though &#8211; some older fans may feel like the choir and sampled rain are a little too indulgent &#8211; but to my ears these are simply the sounds of a band that is always evolving. The hidden track should silence these people though as it harks back to the early days with fast drums, furious guitars and classic youth crew vocals.
