(3 out of 5 stars)
"It's hard to pin-down just one sound for 'Sally O Mattress'. The scope ranges from British Trad Rock to the guitar-folk of 'Forever Changes' by Love. The first few songs are The La's inspired guitar romp (their influence is found throughout) where the direction shifts into a set of melodic ballads. The stand-out track is the string epic 'Enlightening', as the album concludes with a few interesting songs. Just think a more bluesy Cast, Lee Mavers type vocals, with an underlying roots-rock/folk sound. The Burn have a promising future if they can build on the blueprint of their debut, and take it one step further."
