RyanJFeb 13, 2006This album is better than The Strokes' Is This It? Granted, The Strokes did all of this first, but Razorlight does it better. Where The Strokes collapse under their own overt supercool ennui and spartan posturing, Razorlight snaps, crackles and pops. The music is bright and brash, much more varied and unique than the reviews will lead you to believe, and, most importantly, tons of fun.

PeterMOct 5, 2005great songs and performances, with a moddish but retro flavour - but they have what Franz Ferdinand lack... passion,energy, and they really rock.

AbishekJSep 4, 2005this is a bloody awesome debut record from confident frontman Johnny Borrell and his band razorlight, smashing tunes, long live rock'n'roll

JulianBJul 30, 2005Superbly written, produced and performed album, which is reminiscent of Television's 1977 NME album of the year 'Marquee Moon'(Praise indeed!). Looking forward to their second album as maintaining this quality will be difficult.

BuntyHMay 8, 2005Fairs fair Golden Touch is alright but the rest sucks Anyone who reckons this album is "one of the best albums for 2004" must be a duschbag and I can only assume the reason people buy this album is people feel sorry for johnny and are giving him the means to get his picket fence teeth fixed

StellaMay 3, 2005best thing i've bought in years, along with the libertines albums. a true standout- mr. borrell's passion is unreal, on record and even more so live.

howcApr 7, 2005simply brilliant. one of the best album for 2004

NorthFreedomFighterApr 6, 2005Plainly put, a well-thought out, fun rock record that stays in your head for months after your first listen. Reccommended for any rock fan looking for a bit of spunk.

AdamBMar 23, 2005Flawless, one of the best albums ever. Biggest band since Oasis these lads will become.

MikeSMar 18, 2005One of the best albums i've ever heard. I love to energy that it gives of and i can just imagine there when they are performing it.

joeFeb 20, 2005I give it a three 'cause there is only three songs on this worth listening to. golden touch, up all night, don't go back to dalston. I dunno what it is but i want to like these guys but I don't. Least favorite CD i have bought in the last 3 years

RosieGJan 26, 2005I'm just not convinced with Razorlight. There was all this hype surrounding them, I listen to the album expecting to be blown away. And frankly it does absolutly nothinhg for me. The band's image made me think it would be deeper than just a few slapstick love songs. Very disappointing.

jeffmDec 9, 2004this seems generic and a lot of the songs sound the same (actually, moreso the more i listen to the album), but it has such an overt sincerity that its hard to dislike. oh, its quite fun. and great production too.

-
KatieHNov 1, 2004Razorlight may borrow much from others, but it doesn't make them bad men. Borrell is an amazing front man and makes their songs energetic, dynamic and exciting.

maxmOct 5, 2004This album is quality music. end of story.

PaulGAug 17, 2004This is an outstanding CD! Every song is amazing and they have the best lyrics ever! Tip my hat off 2 u dudes!

BenJAug 10, 2004This is an exuberant, enthusiastic debut album with strong songs and some great playing (especially the tight rhythm section). My only criticism is the occasionally duff lyrics (eg ?with you?re your sweat-shop charm? ? erm, right?) which occasionally grate.

PaulWAug 8, 2004Ok first things first, its just a rock album, nothing more nothing less, people think to much about music, just listen, and listen again, and u will undertand, it gives u everything u need! A great album dnt listen to what the mags say, find out for urself!

Q MagazineAs with the other great British debut of 2004 so far, by Franz Ferdinand, Up All Night ripples with cocksure sangfroid and a barely contained sexual fever. [Jul 2004, p.111]
-
Entertainment WeeklyEclectic, combustible tunes. [3 Dec 2004, p.85]
-
The best British debut since Oasis? Definitely... maybe. But one of the albums of the year? Without doubt.
