NandoG.Dec 3, 2004These guys are getting paid to rate CD's? Give me their job and salary since they obviously can't rate a great CD if they had to. This CD has not left my stereo. It is amazing. I am going to see them in a small club venue and I can't wait. Their first was impressive and their second is brilliant.

richardOct 21, 2004Ignore the media reviews........how they on mass seem to have missed the brilliance of this album is quite beyond me. ambitious and fantastically executed this is the best album i've bought for years. i've had it over a month now and it has still barely left the stereo

FergalKDec 2, 2004Great follow-up the their 1st album but distinctively more raw-rock than their first offering, Harvey's vocals somtimes unintellible but that doesn't matter - it's the sound of his voice, not the lyrics that matter on this album - great fast-driving music!!

KellyFeb 7, 2005I think that the music's second effort is great! The songs are so energetic. The band is so incredible live!!!! If you don't do anything else, at least see them live.

PaulFDec 21, 2004Another underrated gem by The Music. I must admit it took me a while to properly get into it after listening to their awesome first album. However, now I do much prefer it. It just sounds so much better. More grown up. And Bleed From Within is probably one of the best songs I've heard for a long time.

JoeDOct 25, 2004What are these critics talking about? Have they really listened to this CD. I cannot take it out of my CD player. This album is absolutely brilliant. The Music have created a slightly modified sound as compared to their first album and have smashed all barriers. I only dream of seeing them in concert and crave more of the same. Wonderful album, pick it up and forget these coporate critics.

AaronTJan 19, 2005A fantastic album. Open Your Mind soars, Breakin is a ripper, Into the Night is epic.... Buy this album, see these guys live and don't read magazine reviews.

KenBApr 19, 2005I thought this album was absolutely stunning. I prepared for it to be rubbish as I bought it on a whim, but was absolutely blown away. Solid rock, great melodies and some unbelievably memorable tracks make for an essential purchase.

Alternative PressA marked improvement over their eponymous debut, North sounds like Muse and the Stone Roses on steroids. [Jan 2005, p.113]
-
Fans of The Music will love 'Welcome To The North' but it is unlikely that detractors will be converted.
-
BlenderAs hipsters, the Yorkshire quartet are still total non-starters, but [North] sees producer Brendan O'Brien honing their gonzo essence to more sizeable effect. [Nov 2004, p.138]
