Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For their second album, Pieces of the People We Love, the Rapture once again prove that nobody does British dance-rock better than these four young men from Brooklyn. If anything, Pieces... takes their disco-punk hybrid even farther than their 2003 debut, Echoes, with tracks like "Don Gon Do It" and "First Gear" sounding like a cheekier and more cheerful Primal Scream. The Rapture have a reputation as a great live band, and this album was recorded during breaks in their touring schedule--as a result, Pieces... doesn't have the same coherence as their last album. But in no way is this a criticism. Instead, their second album seems to be separated into different themes. And so, the title track and "The Devil" sound like the later (and better-produced) New Wave songs of the 1980s, while first single "Get Myself Into It" and "Whoo! Alright - Yeah... Uh-huh" are shameless electro / disco tracks. Most surprisingly, however, are two of the songs tucked towards the end of the album: "Down for So Long" has a long, slow build-up into a song that could have come off of U2's Achtung Baby or even Zooropa, and this segues perfectly into the Edge-like guitar intro of "The Sound". It's a bold move for a hip, young band, and it suggests that stadium greatness is just in reach for the Rapture. --Ted Kord
CD Description
'Pieces Of The People We Love' is the follow-up to The Rapture's critically acclaimed 2003 debut, 'Echoes'. Written over the past year during breaks in the band's gruelling touring schedule, this latest offering is a more mature and thoughtfully crafted record, yet still manages to retain the band's enormous sense of fun. Produced by Paul Epworth, Ewan Pearson and Danger Mouse, 'Pieces Of The People We Love' includes the single 'Get Myself Into It'.
