After a string of politically minded albums calling for reform, Maxïmo Park wonder if it's even possible for people to change on Nature Always Wins. As the title of their seventh album suggests, the band ponders the nature versus nurture debate with philosophical guitar pop that's as full of melodies and reflections as it was on A Certain Trigger nearly two decades prior. Indeed, several of the brightest highlights here could have appeared on their debut; "Ardor," "I Don't Know What I'm Doing" and "The Acid Remark" are all cut from that album's spiky, keenly observed cloth. Maxïmo Park have been around long enough to look back on their former selves and imagine future ones, and the passing of time is a major theme on Nature Always Wins. Frontman Paul Smith muses on fatherhood and other lifelong relationships on songs like "Feelings I'm Supposed to Feel," "Baby Sleep," and "Versions of You," where he takes a small moment -- in this case, watching videos together -- and makes a world out of it. As on his 2018 solo album Diagrams, his thoughtful lyrics capture the fine points of Nature Always Wins' grander concept; "I can only speak for myself/But I'd like to understand your feelings as well" from "All of Me" is a classic Smith line. As much as Maxïmo Park play to their inherent strengths on Nature Always Wins, they also seek out change. For their first album as a trio, they collaborated with producer Ben Allen, who's worked with Animal Collective and Deerhunter -- not exactly the kind of indie music they're known for (although their full-lengths are often more experimental than their singles would suggest). Branching out a bit results in some of the album's most striking songs. The beguiling electro-pop of "Meeting Up" creates a shimmering liminal space between reality and dreams of the one who got away, while the finale "Child of the Flatlands" combines the personal and the political in a way that breaks moody, ambitious new ground for the band. Even with these changes, Maxïmo Park remain unabashedly heartfelt, and by staying true to this on Nature Always Wins, they deliver some of their finest songs in a while.
