Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
With their second album coming in at just over 35 minutes, no one could ever accuse the Thrills of going prog--Let's Bottle Bohemia sticks to the retro formula of the three-and-a-half-minute pop song, making it hugely accessible and instantly likeable.

The opener "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" is a bit of a tease as the first chord crashes in like George Harrison's on "A Hard Days Night", then develops a Bowie-esque, glam swagger before hopping back to upbeat guitar pop for the rest of the album. Still sounding roughly as they did on So Much for the City, their style has developed more of its own identity, partly due to the lack of obvious American influences that recurred throughout their debut. "Faded Beauty Queens" and "You Can't Fool Old Friends With Limousines" are insanely catchy, reminiscent of "Don't Steal Our Sun" and "Big Sur"; "Whatever Happened to Corey Haim" is a rousing Phil Spector-esque wall of beautifully arranged sound; and "Not for All the Love in the World" is a rhythm-heavy ballad, led by a booming piano, the only downbeat song on the album. The album closer and sure to be live favourite is "The Irish Keep Gatecrashing", another catchy, almost jig-like number with a fantastic falsetto and harmonies in the chorus, a perfect way to finish the album. If Lets Bottle Bohemia needed to be summed up in one phrase it would have to be "quality over quantity". --David Trueman

From the Label
After asking the most relevant question of the year ("Whatever Happened to Cory Haim?"), the Thrills return with their sophomore album, Let's Bottle Bohemia. Produced by Dave Sardy (Jet; Johnny Cash; The Walkmen), it reflects the maturity the band has garnered during a year away on the road. The diversity in the tracks, from "The Irish Keep Gatecrashing", to the reflective beauty of "Not for All the Love in the World", shows a band who have revelled in the songmaking process, while at the same time remembered their roots.

1.0 out of 5 stars Let's Bottle... nothing much really..., 27 May 2005
I was disappointed with this album after enjoying the Thrills great debut 'So much for the City' with it's strong retro US west coast influences, but this album sounds like a band trying to leave that genre behind and as a result not really sure what they want to be. With the notable exception of the excellent opening track and catchy single 'what ever happened to etc...' this second album lacks any real energy or spark. The problem is that this album constantly sounds like a diluted version of many other bands and lacks originality and a memorable melody. I listened to this album intensely only last week and I can't give you a hook or chorus from any of it. This album is proof that there is no future in basing your career sounding like the past because you can't progress. Better luck next time guys.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great return from the thrills, 15 Sep 2004
Bought this album on the basis of so much for the city. Second album is supposidly the hardest one to make and sure enough the thrills had alot of expectations on their shoulders. This album is great, 2 tracks stand out for me- corey haim and love on a saturday night. Thrills keep their individual sound on this album, more of the same but more mature and a definate movement away from the american inspired first album. Great vocals and an excellent second album from the Thrills!

4.0 out of 5 stars Whatever did happen to Corey Haim?, 10 Oct 2004
The Thrills are back and sound better than ever. Unlike their debut 'So much for the city' this album comes across better as an album rather than the singles and filler tracks which made up most of their last. Bright and breezy, it makes one think it is summer all over again and having seen them preform live, they're great at putting on a cracking show. Highlights include 'Whatever happened to Corey Haim?' and 'The Curse of Comfort' a strong contender as the next single. Listening to 'Corey Haim' made everyone become more aware of the child star who suddenly disappeared from the limelight. Certainly it made me think where he had got to and I am sure this single attracted a lot of publicity for him. 'The Curse of Comfort' featuring Peter Buck of R.E.M is a delight and just goes to show they are still coming up with catchy but simple tunes unlike other bands who struggle to make a follow up. Overall a superb album and a must buy for everyone to have in their CD collection.
