    A superb album, yet with not enough to just push it into 10 mark territory.

    'Born again' lifted me from my not-another-weekday/career-crisis blues when it graced my shower radio with its presence- thankyou starsailor-there is hope!

    Much better than Coldplay, great vocals and I love the sound. It's not much of an improvement on the first album, but not by any means a disappointment

    Problem is, 23-year-old frontman James Walsh remains the same sap. [Jan 2004, p.109]

    There's little to object to on Silence Is Easy, but just as little to distinguish Starsailor's second effort from the many sound-alike albums sure to follow this year.

    James Walsh does have a beautiful voice, but unfortunately, it's not enough to illuminate Starsailor from the shadow of British bands like Travis and Coldplay. [Feb 2004, p.90]
