Their last album, 2003's Universal Hall, was a decidedly rum affair, hamstrung by the overtly spiritual subject matter and too many half-realised musical ideas. The good news, then, is that Scott finally seems ready to climb back into the ring and make something approximating a great Waterboys album again.

Mike Scott recorded his ninth Waterboys record live in the studio, bringing along some old friends and re-igniting a fire that had been burning awfully low since 2003's deeply introspective and inconsistent Universal Hall. Opening with Book of Lightning's finest four minutes, the gorgeous "Crash of Angel's Wings," fueled by the instantly recognizable laser sweep of longtime Julian Cope collaborator Thighpaulsandra, Scott doesn't just breath life back into the band, he makes it sound like a band again.

On Book of Lightning, this is more true than ever before. These tracks were recorded live in the studio, and they crackle with the vibrant energy that can only be created by musicians playing together. For those who ate up the group's 2005 concert album, Karma to Burn, you know whereof I speak. This band is at its best when the clutter of studio technology is left behind. Opening track and first single "The Crash of Angel Wings" has the loose and crunchy strut of the Rolling Stones, but the. Moreover, this album easily outshines any other studio effort from the Waterboys since their 1980s heyday. We shouldn't even speculate about what Mike Scott will bring us next. For now, however, the Waterboys are back on track.
