Aug 2, 2011Famous First Words sounds less like a manifesto, more like a misguided step-by-step guide.

Aug 8, 2011Disappointing fare from Britpop revivalists on the receiving end of critical vitriol.

Aug 2, 2011As Famous First Words plays, it's impossible to stop craving something, anything, a bit more original, up to and including a fusion of the deep pulse of the digeridoo with the soaring heights of the bagpipes. That's certainly an achievement, but not, you suspect, the one Viva Brother were aiming for.

MojoAug 26, 2011Viva Brother lack much of Blur's charming artyness and all of the Gallaghers' battering rock immensity and football terrace touch. [Sept. 2011, p. 96]

Aug 2, 2011Yet for all their bluster of writing anthems for a new generation and saving guitar music, the reality is little more than a damp squib.

Aug 12, 2011As a record that Geffen plus Newell and co expect anyone to pay for, this album is a distillation of all that is wrong with British guitar music, peddled by a band so consumed by their own deluded egotism that they think of themselves as its saviours.

Aug 9, 2011This album is an abomination. It's a rancid pile of regurgitated tripe.
