Ponies – Ponies 2 (2009)
Follow-up albums are never an easy prospect; you just have to take a glance through history to see the scattered corpses of artists who have failed to live up to their initial promise. The Violent Femmes, The Stone Roses and Guns ‘N’ Roses (Especially if like me you’ve had the misfortune of hearing the risible Chinese Democracy) are just three examples. It was with this thought in mind therefore and a good deal of trepidation that I put on Ponies 2. Bettering Ponies classic self-titled predecessor was always going to be tricky.
