This is definately a cd to have, This is The Automatic at their best, a great cd that is too good to miss, featuring the great monster track, what an album!
Having seen the automatic early this year supporting the Kooks in a small club in sheffield, I was bowled over with the sheer exitement of a young and upand comming band, again i saw them on the NME new music tour with boykillboy and the Long blondes and I was pleasantly suprised with how the band have improved as a live act, The album was not a let down either it clearly shows a band at the top of their game, I bought an autographed one of ebay, they released so in virgin megastore signed but as usual they don't relise that many people still work in this country and cannot get to the shops till the weekend, ebay gave me the chance to buy one of these at not too much over the retail price.
A very late 70's punky sound with a raw lead guitar on most tracks, and the almost standard sudden ending on the majority. You won't get too excited at the lyrics as most are very simple, but the repetitive lines in many songs give an instant memory and you may well be singing long after the cd is back in its case. I bought the cd after hearing the track "monster" as backing to a Radio 4 play,having traced the song from its lyrics via Google.This track is extremely catchy and in my view is the best on the album.
Bought this CD becasue I absolutely love Monster. In the credits the band give thanx to the Kaiser Chiefs, of whom I am a BIG fan (saw them in Plymouth in April - yay!) So I thought I was onto a winner.... Sadly the rest of the album is rubbish - non-stop wallpaper music with each track indistinguishable from the next. Monster proves you can do it guys - so back to the studio!!
I bought this cd becaue i liked the first two singles. The cd is not as good as i thought it would be. The thing that i dislike is the other band member with a High pitch voice WHO INSISTS on singing with the lead vocal singer. If he didend scream! over AL the songes Over all a good cd. Shame about the OTHER SINGER stick to playing the instrements mate! .
