Released in 2002, You All Look The Same To Me is the third studio album from British group Archive. It was a critical point in their career, seeing them leave their original trip-hop influenced sound behind and embrace something more influenced by prog and post-rock. For fans of bands like Mogwai and Secret Machines.
To this day, "You All Look The Same To Me" and "Noise" are Archive's most popular long-playing records in the prog scene, which is probably primarily due to the fact that Keeler and Griffiths continued to develop their style with each new album in the following years. However, personnel changes in the collective also led to discontent in the scene: while Craig Walker's vocals on 2006's "Lights" were sorely missed by many, the renewed involvement of rapper Rosko John, who had already appeared on the '96 debut "Londinium", caused great irritation on the concept album "Controlling Crowds". Archive's approach was simply too progressive to be permanently categorized as progressive rock. However, this did not change the fact that "Noise" and especially "You All Look The Same To Me", but also "Controlling Crowds", still have a high status today, both among Archive fans and in the prog scene, despite Rosko's rap interludes.
