A pleasant surprise from The Coral. You always get that one album in a year that takes you by surprise and for me it's "The Invisible Invasion". This album combines the bright elements of The Coral's previous work where psychedelic folk clamor was at the forefront of their soundscape. Although still there, an accessible sound shapes up alongside the band’s previous noise traits and equally reaps the rewards. Definitely in my top 10 albums of 2005.

The Coral are the biggest bunch of wankers recording "music" today - amateurish 60s mimics wholly lacking originality. Such a shame a zero is as low a score as I can rate the album.

beautiful

A great album, the best since their debut. Many of the songs are much more accessible than most of their other stuff. Arabian Sand is superbly wacky and In The Morning and Something Inside of Me are two of their best yet
Mike T gave it a10:
A fantastic improvement on their last effort, which was a little patchy. This is as infectious as pop music gets!

A cool trip, without traveling or taking drugs. "A Warning To The Curious" is an excellent song. The eleven other songs are great singles and cd tracks. If you like the retro sound mixed lightly with todays sound, then " Invisible Invasion" is a must have.
exodus gave it a7:
A good album, maybe even a very good one, but only if you forget about their amazing debut - full of jaunty, thrilling melodies and a huge load of energy. "Just" a nice album...
