Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If you were in your car during the summer of 2003, heard "Hey Girl" on the radio and felt the urge to turn the volume up, you know that the Delays can turn out a good pop tune. Their long-awaited debut Faded Seaside Glamour confirms their ability. The aforementioned single is here, along with the others--"Long Time Coming" and "Nearer Than Heaven"--and nine other guitar driven pop/rock songs, none of which disappoint. Although it could be said that the Delays are not the most original of pop bands, few would question their song writing or musicianship.

Greg Gilbert's almost falsetto vocal is the driving force; at times it sounds as if it's about to crack, but it never does. This is especially noticeable on "You Wear the Sun", one of the rockier numbers in the set, with a simple but stunning piano riff slipped in for good measure. "Stay Where You Are" stands out as being slightly different to the rest of the tracks on the album. It has a darker feel, with keyboards more prominent than the guitars; still, the melodies remain and it serves as a good contrast to the rest of the album.

"One Night Away" is a stomper of a song, reminiscent of the La's or Crowded House. There are also reminders of the Cocteau Twins, especially on the opening "Wanderlust". Such comparisons are fair, but the Delays are a fresh new band who produce good old-fashioned, sing-along pop music. --Jamie Clark

Jingle jangle guitars, soaring vocal harmonies and not a duff track in sight, what more could you ask for. The perfect companion for summer, buy it you fools, buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting, goosebump music, 16 Jan 2005

Mr. A. J. Meredith "shrewsmonkey" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Faded Seaside Glamour [CD+DVD] (Audio CD)

I first heard of the delays back in 2003 when I heard 'Hey Girl' palyed by Mark & Lard show (now sadly deceased) on radio 1. It caught my attention but didn't strike me as amazing.

However I got the single the next week and was hooked. Then came Long Time Coming the best song of 2004 without doubt. Before you know it I'm going to see them live and have got their album.

If you haven't got this album why not? Yes Greg Gilbert the lead singer amy have a high voice at times, some of my relatives cannot distinguish whether its a man or woman singing at times, but forget that. All of the tracks on this album are brilliant, from the spine tingling 'Stay where you are' to the upbeat 'One Night Away', each song has its own character. Favoruite tracks have to be 'Bedroom scene' and 'Wanderlust' as well as 'Long Time Coming'. This album is a must have!

Underated album of 2004 I think! Can't wait for the next album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delays get underway, 26 Mar 2004

Stefano Inzani - See all my reviews

This review is from: FADED SEASIDE GLAMOUR (Audio CD)

The Southampton based Delays havw finally released their long awaited debut, Faded Seaside Glamour set to propel them into the limelight. Awakening the beast, the atmospheric Wanderlust, is lush ozing with steel drums and harmonic vocals. Re-released, current single, Nearer Than Heaven is the star attraction with a strong chorus that will no doubt be the needed breakthrough. The Delays attract comparisons from mellow JJ72 to the La's, led by feminine sounding vocals (actually a bloke). The exciting start is continued by the refreshing Long Time Coming backed by the eerie guitars, which breezes along held as the entirety of the album is by luscious vocals. Musically the Delays are sublime, creating this charismatic atmospheric sound with a hint of attitude, will to prove they have the commercial ability they duly deserve. A soundtrack to the summer, this is a fantastic debut. Should be a hit!

Sluggish, half-witted drips like Stereophonics and Super Furry Animals would kill for just a smidgeon of the Delays' pop aesthetic and sensibilities. Read more
