It would have been hard to guess that the Courteeners had a sensitive side based on St. Jude, but they show little else on Falcon.

Fray's voice is appealing and the song's anthemic swell is hard to deny, but the Courteeners still fare better when they're a little cocky, as on the Franz Ferdinand-like groove of "You Overdid It Doll" and "Scratch Your Name Upon My Lips," or when they keep the energy up, like they do on "Good Times Are Calling."
