Drinking Hanging Out In Love. Introspection Late Night Partying. Displaying a restraint that is perhaps not the best tactic here, he doesn't go all Mariah on every song, but the album's best songs-- "Wanderlust" and "Nearer Than Heaven"-- shamelessly push his vocals to the forefront while the band provide inventive, unobtrusive accompaniment. As Faded Seaside Glamour progresses, however, he tones down his performance considerably, which drains songs like "No Ending" and "Bedroom Scene" of their dreamy drama.
Nothing quite clicks as well as those first two songs, when the careening vocals excuse the gushy lyrics. Lyrics, obviously, aren't the band's forte, and Gilbert's falsetto usually obscures what he's expressing with it, which proves advantageous. Curiously, one of the Delays' best tracks doesn't even appear on the album: "Zero Zero One", a B-side to "Hey Girl", features no lyrics at all, just Gilbert oooh-ing and ahhh-ing around the upper registers while the band-- especially Aaron Gilbert and bassist Colin Fox-- break out the canned strings and the slow-dancing rhythm section.
It's three minutes of atmosphere in search of a soundtrack, but it focuses so closely on the band's strengths that it gets them farther from their original Britpop and nearer to heaven than anything on Faded Seaside Glamour.
