| | Customer Reviews: Better than the single (11 November 2008)I feel that the album is actually better overall than the single - tho can only be pleased that the single brought attention. It is a considerable accolade to say that the sound reminds me of one of the best indie bands for many years - Neutral Milk Hotel. Will still love it in 5 years time (02 November 2008)I bought tickets to see them live in Glasgow last week based on hearing 5 years time. Absolutely loved them. Think they are bit of Jonathan Richman meets the Waterboys sound but they were a true delight. Bought the album after seeing them - uplifting, energising and sensitive. Played it constantly. Love it to death! Think the videos are mental but sweet and make me smile. noah and the whale (02 September 2008)Heard this at a virgin record shop, bought it on the spot, a truly stunning cd. wonderful clear lyrics a must for any record collection Give it a try! (21 August 2008)I can't agree with the last reviewer who stated that there is one good song and ten whiney ones. That is far from the mark. Some reviews on here may put people off this album because they make out that it is a 'whingey folk album' which paints it as a singer with acoustic guitar scenario. This is wrong. There ARE the odd song like that but they are always supplemented by the gentle backing of Laura Marling. And then you have the other songs which make great use of all manner of instruments. I won't mention 5 years time as everyone knows it by now. The other single Shape of my heart has some nice mexican horns etc, Rocks & Daggers (the best song on the album) has some fiddle and some nice changes in tempo, 2 atoms is another up tempo number. I can see how this album would irritate people, but I think there is more to it than meets the eye. Give it a go, at least listen to it from start to finish before saying it's rubbish! I Like the Wes Anderson inspired videos as well! 1 fluffy fun song and 10 whining ones (20 August 2008)I bought this on the strength of "five years time" thinking it would run in much the same vein throughout. How wrong I was. Its folk, so there is plenty of opportunity to be miserable whilst strumming a guitar. Very disappointed and I've returned my CD already. |
