(Xtra Mile Recordings)
3.5/5

The Third Three Years is a very fun and gritty collection of rarities from British singer/songwriter Frank Turner.

Turner’s sixth disc sounds like a heavy, dark beer would if you could bring it to life through Disney magic.

A lot of these songs resemble drinking music that a Scottish pub would be playing. They’re fun, short, and full of catchy melodies that beg to be sung along to after one too many beers.

But this album is more than just a drinking album, and it features some pretty intimate glimpses into Turner’s life.

Sometimes it can come off as a bit melodramatic, but this is easily forgivable when considering just how plain fun The Third Three Years is.

Definitely give The Three Third Years a listen if you’re looking for something to take your mind off of your worries.
