ShapingM.Sep 20, 2007Awful. The 1 point is for the single, which luckily is the first track on the album, so i can listen to it then skip to the next CD.

CCTVCCTVSep 19, 2007It is a crap record! CCTV was great and "Hard to Beat" is genius....there aren't any moments even close. Save your money or throw it out the window even.

MegakraakSep 28, 2007Worst than the new Editors' album and the cover art is terrible. Hard-Fi need to work very hard to improve their knowledge in music. As the single says, it's a very suburban album. Maybe 'Once Upon a Time In Suburbia' instead 'in the West'.

mydogputthepooinpoochlemiwinksSep 19, 2007dumbed-down robbie williams wannabees, & that's not a particularly good thing. (lead singer's eyebrows over-tweezed between the eyes, above the nose).

JackSep 19, 2007The soundtrack to Once Upon a Time In the West is amazing. This is not it.

It might be a little too airbrushed, arch and meticulous for some, but it's brilliant all the same, and, in the tradition of all great second albums, it could prove to be Hard-Fi's defining moment.

The aforementioned 'The King' is a string-laden lament on changing times and love in their small pocket of the world, and it's better than most of the songs that precede it. But it’s not enough to pull Once Upon A Time In The West out of it’s own lumpen mediocrity.

While the songs aren't particularly complex and won't be to the taste of anyone after something challenging, the band impress with how easy they make straightforward songwriting look.
