Thank god Razorlight have grown up a bit.. a far better second album, their first still lingering in teenage angst (groan... cliche etc...) Bubbling with excellent melodies and likeability, it was the best album of 2006, er, along with Lilly Allen and Joanna Newsome. A mix of Talking Heads 77, Violent Femmes in their fresh, playful way. The difficult second album is a timeless classic. 10/10… Expand

   The follow up to Up All Night, their eponymous second album has less rough edges and the hit single "America" was a clear statement of intentThe follow up to Up All Night, their eponymous second album has less rough edges and the hit single "America" was a clear statement of intent that the band wanted to make a transition from Indie club band to stadium fillers. The album is very strong but at times it does have a contrived feel about it. At 10 tracks, it's short, sweet and too the point.

   Good Live and quite eye catching! However one good song "America" but that´s it! This group are so disappointing and really boring, his Good Live and quite eye catching! However one good song "America" but that´s it! This group are so disappointing and really boring, his lyrics are poor and sometimes awful! So unimaginative and to think he is such a bighead for what reason! I really don´t rate their songs and i wouldn´t mind but they are always on the radio and unfortunately I work at Universal music so they play it all the time there too! Most overated album this year but i have to wait for Barbie doll Beyonce´s album yet cos that will be rammed up your arse and ear holes like your a major nymphomaniac! Recommendations for albums this year Outkast, Keane, Guillermots and Regina Spektor! So far!… Expand

   Absolute crap. Another example of Q hyping up a load of rubbish.

   Look, I know that censoring art's frowned upon completely, but banning this band, and for god's sake this album, would be an Look, I know that censoring art's frowned upon completely, but banning this band, and for god's sake this album, would be an absolute mission of mercy! If you own this album, and more than say, two others released this year, shame on you. This absolutely bland, uncreative, music-by-think-tank is the kind of arrogant rubbish which there is no place for in this world. Get lost!… Collapse
