The View just knocked me off my feet when I heard Wasted Little DJ's and Skag Trendy way back when. I heard Edith Bowman compare this to Definitely Maybe, that is a huge over-reaction. At the moment the world has gone mad for indie, when Oasis were cutting their teeth it was nearly impossible to get a record deal. They were hardened on the indie circuit and had a songbook full of tunes before they were signed; this isn't the case for these fresh faced Dundonians. The benefit to this is that we get bands that will get better and better with each album. The View show incredible song writing talents on many of these tracks but my problem is that with an album to fill there are a couple of fillers that revert to copying their heroes, Libertines/Babyshambles mainly. There is no doubt however that Comin Down is a belter, as are all the singles, Skag Trendy, Gran's for tea and Street Lights even if the last two lack the rock 'n' roll pazzaz you might like these Primal Scream supporters to have flowing through their veins.
It is unfortunate that they are going to be likened to urch-rock like The Paddingtons and The Others, and its even worse that they are going to become contempories to indie formula bands like The Kooks and The Fratellis. Make no mistake they are a class act, one or two songs less (certainly Face for Radio and Claudia should have been a B-side) and they should have included Posh Boys and Up The Junction despite the fact they have already been B-sides. Anyway don't worry about the gripes, climb on board because I'm sure these lads certainly have a Definitely Maybe/Up The Bracket in them, just that this isn't it.

The music is fun and catchy. However like most bands now a days once the radio and tv shows get hold of them their songs will be drummed into your head. Even so this is defiantly worthy of a place in anyones CD collection.
The best songs on the album include:
+ Superstar Tradesman
+ Same Jeans
+ The Don
+ Face For The Radio
+ Dance Into The Night
+ Claudia
+ Streetlights

The View arrived on a wave of hype in the summer of 2006 and their first two single 'Wasted Little DJ's' and 'Superstar Tradesman' were both number 15 in the chart after recieving heavy airplay from Zane Lowe and this hype looks set to continue. This album is a really good debut from the Scottish band. They seem to have a nice mix of The Undertones and The Libertines and this can only result in great tunes.
I have decided not to award 5 stars as it is not yet a 'classic' album. The album requires a few better tracks to have the 'classic tag' bestwoed upon it. However, the tracks that are on it are really good and should make the bands live set a must-see of 2007. With songs such as 'Same Jeans' and 'Skay Trendy' The View will be a favourite band for many this year and they will rightly have this crown.
Not as mind blowing as it could have been but certainly a very good album.
The View have the number one album here, 2007 (well the first few months) will be there year.

Best band for years
This album has everything. Sad, bouncy, real rocky, the lot.
