    Broudie... supplies the record with more thrust and polish than some of these half-written songs deserve.

    Chock full of indie anthems that possess the straightforward bravado of early Oasis singles, the punch of Ash's finest moments and Kurt Cobain's ear for a pop hook amidst the noise and confusion. [#19, p.101]

    Young For Eternity ultimately makes them a likable new addition to the rock scene.

    Too often the rawk they bring feels terribly labored.

    You can't help but feel The Subways are stuck between rock and a slightly harder place, and are just a bit confused. [9 Jul 2005, p.57]

    What's missing so far... is the offbeat charisma that would make the Subways into something more than a high-school cover band that got lucky. [Apr 2006, p.118]

    this is just to even out what Kid A and TG Corke marked the album. No album should get a 0.

    As a debut album from young kids, it sounds really promising. It's a straightforward album, in which simplicity and honesty dominates As a debut album from young kids, it sounds really promising. It's a straightforward album, in which simplicity and honesty dominates all the songs. No fancy riffs and adornments, just plain teeny rock n' roll / punk. The instrumentals aren't outstanding, but they are competent. The vocals are very nice and, at times, very inspired, while the lyrics are simple, but they don't jeopardize the songs.… Expand
