Dec 2, 2010An excellent effort by The Coral who, I must confess, I had lost interest with in recent years. Butterfly House was a pleasant surprise. The songs are tight, the arrangements flowery at times but not afraid to cut loose. A joyous listen!

UncutThe Coral don't put a foot wrong on this album, and therein lies its one flaw: by polishing their technique and perfecting their craft, they've become slightly less interesting. [Aug 2010, p.81]

The present glut of aspiring British bands has never more seemed like an expanse of flotsam adrift on the seas of pop culture. The Coral's Butterfly House exists as a welcoming aural paradise--though, thankfully, not an Oasis.

Despite being a guitarist down (Bill Ryder-Jones departed after Roots and Echoes), they've regrouped admirably and made a comeback record that strives for, and indeed almost reaches, the dizzying heights of 2002's self-titled debut.
