    I think this CD is absolutely underrated. I think it's great and much better and musically more mature than their previous one. the more I listen to it the more I like it.

    I'm surprised how poorly this record was received they have made a very good album here. Sure, just as their last album was not war this is not the Joshua tree, but wire to wire is as soulful as tabloid lover is catchy (maybe a little cheesy but hey) it really boils down to a good record that is not getting the praise that it deserves.

    a razorlight album is always going to get bad reviews no matter how good it is i think this is a brilliant album they've topped what they did on their last album a must have.

    Slipway Fires is preposterous, and in a way I actually wish I liked it more.

    In simple terms, then, the third Razorlight album is utter, utter cobblers.

    It aims at U2, but winds up a ringer for their less-celebrated countrymen.
