Maximo Park proceed to offer quite a lot of social commentary inside their songs, from the lead single, and shut out monitor, Child Of The Flatlands with it is nice guitar solo and extra melancholic vocal remedy by means of to the reflective memory of the charming, Versions Of You. The story telling that unfolds throughout Nature Always Wins is among the greatest that Maximo Park have ever imparted. 

There is a vibrancy inside every track on Nature Always Wins from the pumping, anthemic rhythms of Paceholder, the Post-Punk retro of The Acid Remark, with it is shredded guitar riffs, to the electro primarily based synth scored Meeting Up.
