Up At The Lake - The Charlatans UK
Up At The Lake Image
  • Summary: The British band's eighth album sees Tim Burgess abandoning the falsetto he used on 2001's departure 'Wonderland' as the group returns to the more rock-oriented style of 'Tellin' Stories.'
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 10
  2. Negative: 0 out of 10
  1. The band's most organic and least groove-centric release, as well as their warmest and... most affecting. [#7]
  2. There's such a huge feelgood swagger it's impossible not to be swept along in its wake. [Jun 2004, p.96]
  3. 60
    There's still much to link the group to their musical past. [Jun 2004, p.107]

    The Charlatans are always on good form and this album is no acception. Its a shame not more people no about or listen to their stuff cos its all good. I saw them live last night and the new songs fit perfectly with their old hits. A very good album! Expand

    A good comeback after the understated "Wonderland". Slightly back to their Stonesy roots, with some new Beatles and Beach Boys influences, the Charlies have made a great effort, not so great as "Us and Us Only", but next to that level. Expand
