I can’t believe Maximo Park’s masterpiece A Certain Trigger is twenty years old today. A formative album of my teenage years.

That would almost make me old…?

If you like your rock indie, and your dance moves jaunty, I highly suggest you give it a listen!

Maxïmo Park - I Want You to Stay A Certain Trigger (2005)

I rewrite my life beneath moonlight, Please hold me now till my breath runs out. There are many things that I am not, But there's one thing that I can't deny

A double bluff you fed me lines, The shortest cut you're searching for, A mesh of tones surround your eyes, I wish I knew how it came to this

I always said you could rely on me, Now it seems that I was wrong, I want you to stay, I want you to stay with me

#happy birthday to an album that i never recovered from <3 #Maxïmo Park #maximo park #a certain trigger #i want you to stay #lyrics #forever favourites #mon the park #that time i listened to apply some pressure on repeat the whole way back from paris #that time i took the megabus and we stayed out until 2 am at the sports bar #that time i lied and said lizzy was going to be in york with me for the gig #that time in sheffield leadmill oh my g o o d n e s s -losing it-#t-mobile gigs and forum friends #the first time i saw them play acrobat live #spending too much money in fopp #going to the internet cafe to download the songs they were listening to #discovering the anne briggs cassettes that had been on my parent's kitchen windowsill forever through paul smith's blog #jelly at the welly and lizzy always rescuing me from boring men #these are all reasons why my tag for maximo park is #not as a pleasure any more than i am always a pleasure to myself

And not for no reason do they call this a wasteland

The century sighs, but there's life in the margin

The casual stance emphasizes reluctance

Ritual needs like a cosy conclusion

Destiny screams, till it turns to a whimper

You see it on screen, but there's a flaw in the picture

Maybe there's space for the smallest suggestion

The devil in me made a pact with naivety

I keep you close with a memory

The devil in me keeps a record of his misery

I keep you close with a memory

Paul Epworth's productions of pop musicians contain development of the tricks he used on the discs by post-punk revivalists, such as Maximo Park. He emphasized the space on these records, so no surprise he still does the same. Of course, he also got to work with the bands, which followed the traditions, where these sorts of soundscapes prevailed. Thus, Maximo Park, since we mentioned them, sonically resemble many of their influences, though they differ from them in their lyricism, they're closer to either The Smiths or Pulp. Unsurpringly, these two disparate approaches function properly, but we shouldn't be shocked over this. The former were post punk in all but a name, whereas the latter felt like a group whose words could fit any scene.
