“Wire to Wire” opens the album with some gorgeous rich swirly piano, layered vocal harmonies and throaty bass and drums that kick in after a minute. A promising start after a disappointing second album, but does the album as a whole live up to the hype and the over inflated ego of frontman Johnny Borrell? Yes, if you ignore the last two tracks.

Razorlight: Razorlight
It’s been 2 years since Razorlight’s million selling debut album during which time they have come up with their self titled sequel. The opening track “In The Morning” has a familiar sound that I can’t quite put my finger on, is it INXS or is it the “Heart Of Glass” style guitar reverb. One the main focal points of the album is “America”, a sort of wishy washy Springsteen tribute in reverse. There’s some fairly good pop songs on hear but they lack the certain spark of the first album.
