80A commanding return. [Nov 2005, p.131]
-
They're a confident band, but the tragedy is they're at the top of someone else's game.
-
70Starsailor find themselves in danger of being lumped in with the much-maligned 'Keaneplay' school of emote-u-like guitar rock. Yet judged on their own merits they are still producing the goods. [Nov 2005, p.104]
-
70A spirited response to their detractors. [Nov 2005, p.106]
-
60Here, the band do what anyone suffering from a knock to their confidence does - they revert to the safety of what they know best.
-
Nothing on On The Outside is truly awful--it's just, well, good, which these days, isn't quite enough to get the attention of a well and truly fickle nation.
-
By merely keeping up, they don't do much to separate themselves from the flock of young bands crossing the Atlantic -- again and again.
-
50Finds a band in utter denial of what is precisely its appeal. [Sep 2006, p.143]
-
47Like every jerk who reads an Orwell or Rand novel and walks around a few days with a chip on his/her shoulder, Starsailor play the self-righteous yet simplistic social critic.
-
40Unleashes a torrent of bloated, if occasionally lovely, romantic anthems that aspire to cosmic insight, yet settle for greeting-card corn. [Sep 2006, p.112]
