A likeable, if completely unoriginal rock record that's sure to get even the dullest of parties onto the police blotter.
-
It’s not Razorlight’s reflected experience that’s the problem, though, nor their clichéd rock‘n’roll romanticism - it’s the bewildering narrowness of their sonic vision.
-
A lot of these songs blur together and become indistinguishable.
-
Originality may not be Razorlight's strong point, but Borrell's raw charisma carries the day.
-
Razorlight is more than The Strokes, London Bureau -- all nervous guitar lines and neither-here-nor-there bar-hopping energy -- but what's left of the mucho-hyped UK outfit's identity feels second-hand borrowed, as well.
-
BlenderIf Borrell's originality ever equals his confidence, Razorlight might be as good as he thinks they are. [Nov 2004, p.141]
-
UncutWith less hyperbole and gutter-visionary pretension, Borrell's competent if hygienised NYC punk knock-offs might be more palatable. [Aug 2004, p.104]
