my hundredweight head has sunk through the carpet!,
By William Goldfinch "sweetcornz" (Manhattan, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Better Ways to Self Destruct (Audio CD)
What an amazing album! I spend pretty much every day trying to find this kind of stuff and usually fail miserably. I stumbled across this and was not only persuaded to get it because it was rock/indie, highly recommended and not well known (most mainstream rock is so boring!) but because of the really cool cover! Boy was I glad I got it. Personal favourites are Lights Out, Hundredweight and Junkies but they're all such excellent tracks it would be hard to put the album down. It's not just the tunes which are good but the lyrics are (ok, in places) meaningful and it feels like these guys are playing for the music/meaning, not just for the money. It's just great indie, without the depression.

you could make it harder but it's an easyworld.,

simply an amazing debut mini-album. recorded on the cheap in singer/songwriter dav ford's bedroom, it shows, but in a good way. The raw energy in their live shows really comes across well on this. i hear of comparisons made between muse and JJ72 but they sound to me like placebo playing the happiest songs they never wrote. This band will be huge! see you in the charts!

Hooks you like a mainstream band , yet they're underground!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Ways to Self Destruct (Audio CD)
I didn't hear about Easyworld til I had the fortunate thing of seeing them live at The Reading Festival this year, and boy they didn't half stun me. The tune I distinctly remembered was "Junkies and Whores". When I bought the album, I was blown away. There are influences, vocally from Molko to Bellamy. The tunes are whistleable, and at times stray over to the likes of Blur, which are one of their influences. The guitar distortion is at times grungy and transports you back to early Smashing Pumpkins. There is an interesting mix of electronika and rock music, which Soulwax similarly use. Tracks to look out for are "Junkies and Whores" and "Hundredweight", but the whole record is amazing. If you're looking for a vibrant indie/rock band that doesn't talk about misery and death, but intelligent issues, then Easyworld is your band.
