A split album: The World Inside is the nom-de-plume of Poor Old Lu's veteran Jessy Sprinkle with Seven Head Division backing him. Seven Head Division are a separate band in their own right. Mr Sprinkle's music is very similar to The Waiting, slightly softer and more acoustic-based, with hints of Beatlesesque simplicity. The heavier element in track eight was a welcome moment for this reviewer. Seven Head Division are a slightly heavier alternative modern rock group, reminiscent in places of The Juliana Theory or Green Olive Tree or even Delirious?, not as polished a sound, but interesting. I love the 5/4 time riff on "Value". As a split album this would appeal to fans of The Waiting and things a little more alternative.
