    Swamped by the same safe, repetitive, and unadventurous production, the majority of the ten tracks are indistinguishable from one another, making Science & Faith a solid but pedestrian and uninspiring affair.

    The Script have enjoyed Euro-chart success with a mix of lite rock, rap rock and Guinness-informed crooning they call Celtic soul - at once soaring, melancholic and treacly.

The only complaint is that it is like most of The Script's songs in that they are usually pretty same-y. This makes a great CD to own because the songs have such a widespread likeability about them.… Full Review »
