Was tooling around the Internet today and stumbled across these listings for the three FP albums at Half.com:
EVERYTHING WILL NEVER BE OK

From the lead track, "Listen to My Babe," it is immediately apparent that London's Fiction Plane is turning alternative rock on its head. Led by Sting progeny Joe Sumner, Fiction Plane injects a punk-funk sense of melody into its music, making it difficult to compare to any other band on the scene. Stylistically playful and lyrically cynical, there is very little filler on the band's debut release. There is a little piece of magic in each song that makes the entire album hummable long after the disc has ended.
BITTER FORCES AND LAME RACE HORSES

Somewhat darker in nature than their debut, Fiction Plane's sophomore release begins to show their progressive leanings. Still defying genre stereotype, the band exhibits exponential growth in the span of a mere four-song EP. Soulful, somber, and acidic, BITTER FORCES AND LAME RACE HORSES is an successful hybrid of alternative rock balladry and singer-songwriter affectation. Throughout, Sumner's sober vocal delivery is accentuated by Dan Brown's soaring piano/ bass work, Seton Daunt's delicate guitar riffing, and new drummer Pete Wilhoit's (Cutters, 3rd Man, Simon Rowe Trio) jazz-inspired skinsmanship.
LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAIN

Easing into a new era with the neo-progressive rock opener "Anyone," Fiction Plane, now a trio, is keeping its listeners on their toes. Packed with funky, bouncy rock pageantry and poison-tongued, sing-along choruses, LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAIN is a dynamic tour de force. The album is a rollercoaster ride of emotion, and every song has "hit single" potential. To achieve all this, Fiction Plane seasons its songs with nearly every genre under the sun. Still sounding like no other band on the scene, Sumner (now on bass) and Company are undeniably reinvigorated and rocking.
