SLOAN - The Double Cross LP quick order I hear MarsA very good Sloan album with a few outstanding songs, more particularly the lead off track, 'Follow the Leader', which blends seamlessly into 'The Answer Was You' which in turn mixes wonderful harmony vocals with strings in the chorus. The rest is as convincing as what this Canadian band has been doing for almost two decades, that is to say Beatlesque pop with a welcome indie edge.
