    Once Upon a Time in the West is a well-written, well-recorded, mainstream rock record.

    The Brithish band takes its attention away from the variety and finds a moderate middle ground. This makes The West slightly generic and much more acceptable at the same time. [Fall 2007, p.79]

    What it is overall, however, is a disappointment. A few sparkling moments of invention aside, much of this album is comfortably interchangeable with "Stars Of CCTV's" less inspired tracks.

    Best album of the year! More impressed with this than angry mob, weekend in the city, and favourite worst nightmare. how anyone can say this is crap.. and worse to give it lower than 5 is just nuts. Its obviously not your genre of music if you think its that bad. This is the type of music i listen to(brit pop/rock) and this is definitely an excellent album if thats the type of music you like.… Expand
