    Good Live and quite eye catching! However one good song "America" but that´s it! This group are so disappointing and really boring, his lyrics are poor and sometimes awful! So unimaginative and to think he is such a bighead for what reason! I really don´t rate their songs and i wouldn´t mind but they are always on the radio and unfortunately I work at Universal music so Good Live and quite eye catching!

I really don´t rate their songs and i wouldn´t mind but they are always on the radio and unfortunately I work at Universal music so they play it all the time there too! Most overated album this year but i have to wait for Barbie doll Beyonce´s album yet cos that will be rammed up your arse and ear holes like your a major nymphomaniac! Recommendations for albums this year Outkast, Keane, Guillermots and Regina Spektor! So far!… Expand

    i didn't much like the first album, bar a couple of diamonds in the rough. this is a watered down and even less varied effort which, despite its occassional peaks, kind of comes and goes without you noticing or really caring. that said, anyone who reviews an album on the strength of hearing just 3 songs (Guy H) and rates it '0' is a tit.

    It's those lyrics that make much of this second album such a disappointment.

    It's a soulful, romantic album about what happens when the lights come up at the end of the night and life smacks you in the face.

    Razorlight have dropped the urgency and brashness of indie-disco floor-fillers like 'Rip it Up' and traded it for the boldness of tracks such as 'Somewhere Else'. It isn't easy to graduate from teenage bedrooms to coffee-table status without compromising on credibility, but the quartet have managed it somehow.
