Best record so far 20 July 2011
Format:Vinyl
The best record of Tv On the Radio so far. I'm particually in love with Will do, one of top ten songs this year. The vinyl format suits the album perfectly.

Format:MP3 Download
After being introduced to TV on the Radio and their kaleidesopic 2008 album Dear Science, by a dear friend a year or so ago, I have become more and more enthralled by their quirky mix of genres, ranging from 70s David Bowie vocals, to Prince, to even Radiohead. Combined with genius production techniques that surprise and catch you off guard, the overall mix is one of beguilling seduction. Nine Types of Light is a more accomplished and mature album than the aforementioned Dear Science and brings Dave Sitek back into the production studio, after his recent solo effort with Maximum Balloon. The crazy falsetto vocals falling to gravelly depths that Barry White would be proud of combine to form a range of expansive proportions. Nine Types of Light is like a love affair, put in the leg work and you will be greatly rewarded. My only criticism would be does there really need to be three versions of Will Do, amazing as it is!

I first heard TVOTR, like most, when hearing Wolf Like Me and bought the last two albums. Cookie Mountain and Dear Science were quite superb examples of albums that were quirky, clever and very very good. Following them up was always going to be hard. If Nine Types Of Light comes across as a disappointment then it is only when comparing to what came before. As an album itself it really is quite good.

The first track, jokingly called second song, could come straight from Dear Science. Its exactly the same approach. I wouldn't be surprised to hear it was written at the same time. Its a joy to hear. Things go down tempo over the next couple of tracks and its whilst listening to them that you begin to notice the real difference - the fuzz and distortion is gone. The vocals are clearer and I think that this is an improvement - you can appreciate the lyrics more here. Tracks like Will Do have more impact because of this. Just like previous TVOTR albums different tracks appeal each time you listen. The label of Art Rockers should be forgotten by now as TVOTR are far more than this label. Their guitar driven clever rock is always welcome.

This album is also tinged with the sad news that bassist Gerard Smith died of lung cancer shortly after release. RIP Gerard.

Good, but no banana . . .
After the rather magnificent 'Dear Science', TV's next album was going to have be something special. Read more

Already a favourite
Well I've listened to this album possibly too many times since it came out, and I still love almost every track. No, it's not as up tempo as dear science, but who cares? Read more
