After numerous changes to the line up and the less immediate sophomore album Brain Thrust Mastery, it seems that with Razorlight ex-member Andy Burrows on the drums Keith Murray and Chris Cain have rekindled that raucous sound that made 'With Love and Squalor' rattle and shine so brightly amongst the indie disco nation. 'Rules Don't Stop' is the We Are Scientists that initially broke them into the mainstream, sharp, punky, and undeniably funky. It pummels its way through one ear and soars out the other leaving the chorus behind to make itself at home just like their previous hits. The word 'like' perhaps being a double edged sword in this instance in that it doesn't show much progression for a band who are on their third album compared to others dominating the field. We will just have to wait till June when 'Barbara' is released to see if We Are Scientists can really break the rules.
