How can you argue with this band and their success so far? And before people think I just happen to be a sheep, I found Coldplay's Trouble and Yellow abhorrent. I was not convinced at all. However, I just love Coldplay's work from Parachutes (the two singles excepted) through to this latest installment. This is not an X&Y and is different thanks to the very positive influence of Brian Eno, a magician in his own right. The first 3 tracks just glide you through the listening experience but I struggle with 'Yes'. It is quite different from a typical Coldplay melody and reminds me of the French ambient/rock band, M83. Maybe that's a good thing. Not for me though. However, the two chart hits are just fantastic and uplifting. Not convinced by Strawberry ... Read More:

I have listened to this album a dozen times now. It is engaging enough but it dosen't break any new boundries, in fact quite the opposite. The Script take the best elements from some of the most acclaimed artists (Sting, Paulo Nutini) but fail to create a mould of its own. At times i was left pleading with the guitarist to become more aggressive, or come to that any of the musicians to stamp thier mark and not just provide backing music to the lead vocals. I can not see this band recording 3 albums unless they have the guts to express themselves more openly and challange the only real talent on show...the vocals

On first hearing I made all the same comparisons, more or less, as other reviewers did. I liked the harmonies, and anticipated that I may be adding the FFs to my regular listening.
On second hearing I once again felt that flush of expectation as the first track kicked in. About half an hour later I had this vague sense of an irritating noise in my ears and realised the record was still playing. It had completely lost me, and as I listened I wondered if perhaps this was some fiendish loop tape I'd been handed which just went on and on, like music on hold. A shame, really, that they were unable to sustain the initial anticipation by varying the sound enough for me not to tune out. A little like when you're out on a walk and ...

But it comes from such a catchy song that you just can't help it. But now the album has been released, it's an opportunity to see if 'the song of the summer' is just a one-off or are there other gems there too. And I'm pleased to say that the album is a very welcome surprise. Noah and the Whale have crafted a quirky, original album. The lyrics are witty and perceptive and set in music that is kind of folksy-pop. The singles 5 Years Time and Shape Of My Heart do stand out but only by a notch. All together, the album is a joy to listen to and will leave you smiling. And at just over 42 minutes, it doesn't outstay its welcome either.

4.5 stars actually. 5 if slightly more ambitious. For example, the long ending of One Day Like This sounds too formulaic. (Like Paul McCartney?)But anyway, it's the most beautiful album in a few years, which makes me to write the first album review in a few years.
It is a great wonder how something that reminds me of Coldplay can still sound distinguished from Coldplay. Does this mean Coldplay could have been a much better band than now?? >>More Details |

Well, well, well, where have MGMT come from? They seem to have just popped up out of no man's land!
I have to say, when I first heard them on Radio 1 I was a little unsue. But after seeing them live and listening to their album I just can't stop listening to it. The whole album is filled with hits, Time To Pretend, Weekend Wars, Electric Feel and Kids to name a few but to be honest I should really list them all! They kind of remind me of The Who! Amazing band, amazing album - a must buy >>More Details |

I must admit I was cynical initially but I loved the Opening track 'The Age of Understatement' and was hooked after hearing 'Standing next to me'so brought the CD. Its an album full of lush strings,feelings and warmth.The songs border on the 'lovely' and are well crafted. Love the vocals esp on 'meeting place' and The time has come - both such 60's sounding film tracks. I'm a fan of metal and Rock ( Dillinger Escape Plan and Deftones ) but this album is so 'sentimental' that it will melt the most hardened metal heart- as its done with me- call me a big softie why dont you?

I love Sigur Ros, and this is a fine album but I cannot help but feeling disappointed. It is indeed another step towards more mainstream audiences, with noise levels toned down and awkward silences ridden of - but this isn't the problem, it's only natural that this would have happened. The problem is that the pain is gone, and without it their music is just some interesting arrangements and atmospheric tunes.
Takk was more commercial that the masterpiece that is Ágaetis Byrjun, but the levels of emotion remained high. Even the last release before this album, the single Hljomalind, which was their first proper pop song structurally, retained some grittiness. This album, however, loses that almost completely. The first track, Gobbledigook, is unique and raises expectations ... Read More: >>More Details |

Chad Kroeger is a song writing genious. Not, of course, for ANY of the right reasons, but because he has a truly remarkable ability to churn out some of the most pathetic songs ever recorded and still sell millions of records. For this he deserves credit - in the same way Hitler deserves credit for tricking Europe into allowing him to rise to power.
It is not an exxaggeration in any way to describe Nickelback as the worst band ever. Chad Kroeger is the most listener-insultingly abysmal lyricist that I have ever heard. Before you pre-pubescent fans jump to his defence, I have evidence, in the form of some lines from the album: "She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing" "It's just a little hard to leave/When you're going down on me" ...
