    Meh. Radio 4 has a lot more substance.

    decent enough band, seen them at live at cardiff uni. the album won't change ur life and you'll probably find that after about a dozen listens you can't be arses with it anymore. Hard to beat is worth a listen

    i just wanted to mention how ridiculous andrew t's comment is. how could his words, "the Bloc Party would be too much like Hard Fi" be true when Silent Alarm was released first AND i very much doubt hard-fi are trying to copy bloc party or bloc party are trying to copy hard-fi seeing as their LP's were released the same year. and anyway. silent alarm has so much more than stars of cctv.

    A rousing debut. [Aug 2005, p.123]
  2. Entertainment Weekly

    An album of tight and spiky blue-collar dance rock. [17 Mar 2006, p.114]

    "Stars of CCTV" is that rare British import that lives up to the advance billing.
