What is this? A collection of pop songs without a minimal sign of authenticity? A mix of overproduced songs with ridiculous lyrics and poor musical development? An album that tries to be the next step from an act that is just a bad copy from the 80s new wave bands? The Bravery released an album that it feels mediocre. It´s a shame for Brendan O´Brien, but this is not his fault. The sin is over the band´s shoulders. This is just an exercise of bad rhymes, few original melodies, tired vocals (it feels that he tries too hard to be Robert Smith) and really ludicrous and annoying lyrics. It seems to me that they lose the battle between all the other bands form its caliber. And that´s not a great battle to fight.

I really don't understand the low metascore, the best album ever released.

Ok, stop with your hating. I am sure that if the Bravery came out before the Killers, we would all be hating the Killers. These boys are creative. Sure I could go without "Every Word In Your Mouth" (worst song off the album and the only reason why I'm not giving it a 10) but it is so... great. A departure of the computer made stuff. Smart boys and really worth it. But they have evolved... and for the better.

Easily my favorite album of the year. The synths from the first album are still present, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the more vocal feel of this album. Endicott continues to shine, and the guitars were phenomenal.

I came across The Bravery while watching The Edge Video Podcast, which is available free on iTunes. Their video for "Time Won't Let Me Go" instantly drew me in with its catchy hook and indie vibe. After getting the album based on that one video, I am surprisingly impressed. "Believe" is a great album opener and single, and a sign of things to come on the album. "This Is Not The End" is my personal favourite, with hints of reggae making it a flowing song. The rest of the album doesn't live up to the previously mentioned songs, but is definitely listenable, from beginning to end. Not a bad song on this album, and I am very grateful for albums like this. Even the import bonus tracks "Rat In The Walls" and "Faces" fit perfectly at the end! I will definitely get the debut album and look to them in the future.

I don't understand the low metascore- this album was a great follow-up. Their sound has changed a bit, but you definitely still get that warm feeling inside after hearing one of their songs. Great, great album. Go listen to it!
