Extremely underwhelming, and made even worse by the silly autotune

Very good, albeit not quite as strong as their debut. Main standouts are Through the Looking Glass, How to Exist, True Romance and (especially) Best Days

Decent, but a bit too repetitive. Every track sounds extremely similar, and as a result the listening experience continuously gets worse as the album goes on.

Mediocre and generic, but not terrible

Its good, but somewhat disappointing. Most of the non-single tracks are just fine, nothing standing out. Favourite and Starburster are leagues ahead of the other songs, In the Modern World and Bug are also good, but the rest feels very average. I'd say it's their weakest album so far, but it could overtake A Heroes Death with time.

Edit - Changed from 72 to 77. Definitely have more of an appreciation for Death Kink and Sundowner now compared to before. Slightly ahead of A Heroes ... read more

Put simply, their best ever song. Outstanding.

Single-handedly carried by "Be Somebody"

Nothing exceptional, but fun and slightly exceeded expectations. The exact album that libertines fans wanted, and an album which won't do anything to convert any non-fans

I'd never heard of this band until an bour ago, and now this is one of the best album's I've listened to in a long time. Not a single bad song throughout. Definitely recommend for fans of Pavement et al.

So bad that it's good. Automatically gets more credit for having a bloke play two saxophones simultaneously.

An extremely solid album, with no noticeable low points throughout the 13 tracks

As a longtime fan of The Clockworks, this was a very interesting listening experience. 5 of the 13 tracks are new recordings of songs previously released by the band over the past 3-4 years. Some of these are very similar to their original counterparts ("Advertise Me" is the biggest example of this, feeling like a slightly more polished version of the original song), whilst others sound substantially ... read more

Just finished listening to this, and my first impressions are that its a very solid album. 'Falling to Pieces' and 'Lovers Come and Lovers Go' were definite highlights which justified being released as singles, but others like 'Purple Skies' and 'I Can't Stop' were also enjoyable. Surprised that it was so short, by far their shortest album at 29.5 minutes long, but I'd prefer that to it being bloated with more filler songs. Wouldnt describe any songs as bad, with most tracks being a solid 7/10 ... read more

This is an album that exists. That's basically all I have to say after my first listen. It's not bad by any means, and has no noticeably weaker tracks, but there's no standout songs either. Every single song fits the category of "decent filler song from a good album, which isn't anyone's favourite but at the same time no one hates". It's strange just how 'nothing' I feel about this, given that I'm a pretty big fan of his previous work (solo and for Oasis). If I had to pick any ... read more

I'm usually not into this sort of music at all, yet this album kept me interested and engaged from the first minute until the last

I was too bored to finish this. The vocals are legitimately unpleasant to listen to, and most songs are about twice as long as they need to be

This is a great album, with no bad tracks. A bit long at times but overall it's definitely worth a listen if you're even remotely interested in this genre

For the first 4-5 tracks I really couldn't get into this, but after that point I enjoyed it a lot more

I was going to attempt to avoid the obvious Arctic Monkeys comparison, but unfortunately it's kind of unavoidable. Yes, this does sound quite a bit like AMs early work, but compared to some the Reytons first few songs - which were essentially completely ripping off the sound of "Whatever people say I am..." - this feels a lot more fleshed out and varied. None of the tracks overstay their welcome, with the 34 minute runtime indicative of the conciseness of the 12 songs, and the lyrics ... read more

It alright

Whilst it is easily his weakest solo album, C'mon you know deserves at least some credit for at least trying to take his sound in a slightly different direction to his previous two albums. Unfortunately, despite this noticeable shift, the songs are overall very bland and boring, with about 70% of the 14 tracks feeling like filler, and the few that are a bit more interesting still dont come close to songs like Wall of Glass or Once. The only songs really worth listening to are Diamond in the ... read more
