| | Customer Reviews: SUPERB! (27 November 2008)This album is a great surprise. I didn't know what to expect when i bought it. I have the arctic monkeys albums and I like them, however I find them a little too much after a while, each song sounds similar, where as this album is full of great tracks which are written well and the production is, well wow. It has a big sound to it what with the orchestra and that. Each track has the feel that it can be released as a single and thats the mark of a great album. Most definitely the best album I have listened to for a good 10 years! Overstated (14 November 2008)I got this for nothing, fortunately. I can't understand all the comparisons with Scott Walker. Yes, there is an orchestra involved and the arrangements are very full and reminiscent of the sixties but the voice!!! Aargh! It's horrible. And the lyrics are pathetic. Overrated, overstated, overblown. It gets two stars for the very good musicianship and interesting arrangements. But that voice... Sorely Disappointed! (15 October 2008)After seeing TLSP perform Standing Next to Me on Johnathon Ross I was captivated. Unfortunately that is the only decent track on the album! What a disappointment! If the rest of the tracks were like track 2 it'd be a real winner for me. I guess it takes all types to make a world, tho this is just not my type. I'm not sure it should get even 1 star from me. Anyone want a CD?!!! Retro cool (18 September 2008)This is SUCH a good album, with Alex Turner's nimble vocals to the fore set amidst some sumptuous string arrangements which take you right back to the 60s. I heard this first whilst browsing in a music shop and instantly it touched a chord - and it only grows on you from there, with different songs staying in your head for days. You feel like dancing down Carnaby Street in your crushed velvet jacket when this is playing, with Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased of course) at your side. Trust me - and buy it. My album of the year. What's not good about this? (11 September 2008)Anyone who doesn't enjoys this...doesn't like music...wonderful, uplifting and super driving music etc. Better than the two Monkey's CDs |
