Q MagazineFull of irresistible choruses and quirky surprises, it's the sound of a band fully deserving of star billing. [Sep 2007, p.90]
-
Melody takes precedence on Roots And Echoes, and this makes it stronger and tighter than The Coral’s previous releases.
-
SpinThe result is seductive and understated, with familiar '60s touches. [Nov 2007, p.116]
-
Roots And Echoes is an album of songs with all the warmth and familiarity of old leather--and as strangely unexciting as that sounds.
-
A patchy return, then, from a band whose prolific status never looked in jeopardy before. While it's good to have The Coral back, it's unlikely that Roots And Echoes will win them any new converts.
-
The band’s decision to keep things on more orthodox tap seems to have been accomplished at the expense of some of their spirit.
-
Sadly, Roots & Echoes' air of studious refinement sullies even its more cerebral material with schmaltzy gestures.

J.D.B.Dec 17, 2007Their best record yet. It's a great merging of 60's freakbeat and their best song writing to create the best record of the year.
