They have a wordiness that springs from hip hop, but soulful vocalist Danny O’Donoghue delivers verbose message-oriented songs with conviction, and they never neglect a singalong chorus.

The pop core of this album may be a bit more buried, in comparison to the debut, but there is a sense of a group flexing more musical muscle and experimenting with different tempos. A shade darker, then, but more accomplished and better thought out.

Like [James] Blunt, the Script trundle steadily down rock’s middle road. Unlike him, they seem to be enjoying the ride.

Business as usual then, as The Script stick to the script.

Of course, there's no denying that the Script know their way around a melody … But swamped by the same safe, repetitive, and unadventurous production, the majority of the ten tracks are indistinguishable from one another, making Science & Faith a solid but pedestrian and uninspiring affair.

This is The Script sticking to the script. Next time around, maybe they should ad-lib a little more.

The Script have enjoyed Euro-chart success with a mix of lite rock, rap rock and Guinness-informed crooning they call โCeltic soulโ โ at once soaring, melancholic and treacly.

O'Donoghue's sincerity as a writer is plain โ but the production is such a high-shine, epic affair that it all sounds incredibly pedestrian.

Only a 62 guys… seriously…
Timeless album right here ๐๐๐
Perfect for golden hour if were being real
Anyway:
I chose science/faith today because ive been meaning to play this for a very long time, but I never got around to it so I thought today would be my day
I knew what the vibe of the album was like before I was going to play it, so it gets a 100
It’s also a great amv (even the hits) style pop rock album, so it gets a 100
And it’s by a great band
So ... read more
More guilty pleasure music added to the ratings. It’s so generic but I love it so much and is very nostalgic.
A perfect example of an album with absolutely nothing interesting about it that still delivers as solid radio filler.
The Script (Album) worked because its detailing the breakup and emotional turmoil of a man. But when The Script (Band) decide to do that again, the results were more diluted down. Songs like “If You Ever Come Back,” “Nothing” and “Long Gone and Moved On” still hit like they should, but then songs like “Exit Wounds” and “Dead Man Walking” just feel a bit fatigued and played out
