MargieROct 29, 2007Amazing! Just saw them @ the Echoplex in L.A , they were worth the wait, blending dance, electronica, Rock was their best move yet. Unkle rocks my world.

JonV.Sep 24, 2007Somehow this album found its way into my cd player and it just doesn't seem to come out. Strange. Oh wait, maybe it's because I didn't know Unkle beforehand and wasn't surprised by their Rock influences. I just love this Album. Especially the songs with the Clayhill singer, just awesome.

JasonH.Aug 26, 2007Great. i just heard th full preview of all tracks from this album on their special site http://unkle-war-stories.com. the last track (when things explode) and hidden track are the best to my opinion.

TracyF.Aug 9, 2007No thanks. not creative and strange anymore. boring rock music.

JoeN.Aug 9, 2007Uncle keep going on a journey I don't want to be on anymore... losing its cool, its luster, its quirkiness, its imagination, its creativity...and becoming standard guitar rock that's not that exciting. just gloom and doom, and coldness. it used to be gloom and doom, and way COOLness.

ManchesterSJul 28, 2007Brilliant--recruiting the monster musos from the Desert Rock Scene and adding it to the UNKLE mosaic! Lavelle in top form again. Best album this year, followed by QOTSA. Surprised?

DecepticonPomJul 22, 2007Not a PATCH on Psyence Fiction but miles better than the turgid Never Never Land. WARNING: The vaccuum packed two disc version with book is an absolute bugger to get out of the box! And who else thinks Burny My Shadow is a gratuituous slight to Josh Davies (albeit a bloody good choon of one!)?

BenH.Jul 21, 2007It is a departure from UNKLE's previous albums, but if you like rock this is their best. It's sweet mix of guitars and electronic elements with masterful voice work and the distinctly UNKLE ambiance. Awesome.

MatthewMJul 21, 2007More rockish than any of their other albums, but probably their best album to date, Excellent!

MattC.Jul 18, 2007One of the best albums I've heard this year.

alicJul 18, 2007Their worst album - dullish rock and no hiphop. Why did Lavelle bother?

JackB.Jul 17, 2007Price you pay is a quality track

StevenJul 15, 2007Brilliant Album. Ignore the mediocre reviews.

SimoH.Jul 9, 2007Best unkle album yet!

If there’s a central problem with War Stories, it’s that at times it strays too close to rock orthodoxy and loses the offbeat stylistic flourishes that made Unkle such an exciting proposition to begin with.
-
There are enough excellent moments on War Stories to judge it a success, but there's another sense of missed opportunity hanging over the album.
-
While the results aren't entirely successful, "Twilight," especially, by Massive Attack's 3D, proves that Lavelle can reimagine 'soul' like no one else.
