At times, it's hard to believe it's the same sisters: gone are the eccentric alt- folk arrangements, and along with them the sly wit and quirky character that sparked their songs, replaced by bland, uninvolving testaments to faith ("Glorious") and moderation ("Drag You Down"), set to dismayingly unchallenging, sanitised country-pop backings. Their harmonies are as bright as ever, but even when exercising the full power of their collective charm on tracks like "You'll Be Mine" and "Love You More", there's an enervating lack of compulsion about the album that saps the spirit.
