Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Manchester-based indie-rock outfit Longview are in pursuit of a grand, romantic--indeed, religious--vision, and on their debut album, Mercury, they realise it with no lack of wide-eyed faith. "God's love will save our lives / It will come shining bright," sings frontman Rob McVey on the opening "Further", indicating, in this age when Christian rock is typically dismissed as the tritest of the trite, a rather surprising bravery of conviction. Luckily, however, there's far more to Mercury than over-serious religious zeal. Fulsome guitar vistas like "Will You Wait Here" and "Electricity" touch at the dreamy psychedelia of fellow Mancunians Doves or Elbow--albeit an Elbow realised without Guy Garvey's trademarked curmudgeonly attitude and invested with a hearty optimism. Importantly, for Longview, there are hit singles in the waiting here: "I Would" is a windswept take on the sort of lilting piano balladry that Coldplay did before them, and Echo and the Bunnymen did long before them; and the thunderous "When You Sleep" marches along with a righteous ire little seen since the Smiths flounced through these parts. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting and captivating, British music at it's best., 26 July 2005

Daryll Holland (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mercury (Audio CD)

I missed this album first time around, and after seeing the video for 'Further' on MTV2, I had the buy the album. 'Further' immediately grabs you buy the neck and demands to be listened to. It's a beautifully crafted melodic trip along the kaliedoscopic multi-layered indie-rock highway that is Long-View.

Whilst 'Further' is an excellent example of what Long-View are all about, each song on the album stands out in it's own right. From the equally haunting 'Can't Explain' to the uplifting 'One more try', this album is guaranteed to please.

A break from the current 'Alternative' market, saturated with cliched eye-liner wearing whiney teens and talentless guitar smashing Nu-Metal pop bands, Long-View play straight from the heart.

For me, this album is a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars best album this year, 27 July 2003

"joe21754" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mercury (Audio CD)

with the lack of true guitar bands this year, i have to say i was waiting with bated breath for this album's release. And it didn't dissapoint. as soon as further kicks in, you know you are in for a good ride.

If you like leaves, elbow, coldplay and electric soft parade, you can't go far wrong.
I gave this album four stars because it could be slightly more varied but only a minor niggle.

Go buy this album-best debut of the year for me.
