This is a great album, and seems set to launch Frank Turner into the mainstream where he has always deserved to belong. It may sound different to previous albums on first listen, as these songs have a full-band feel to them, as opposed to just backing session musicians, but the quality of the song writing and lyrics holds it all together, forming something of a new direction, and a brilliant one at that.
Tracks like "Live fast Die old" and "Poetry of the Deed" showcase this new sound, acoustic belters "Try this at home" and "Dan's song" are welcome returns to more familiar territory, and the back end of the album holds a number of slow-growing gems such as "Faithful Son", "Sons of Liberty", "The Road" & "Richard Divine".
Oh yeah and definitely go see him live.

When some artists have new releases, there is a doubt in your mind whether they will be able to maintain their previous levels. Not so Frank Turner. He's too clever for that.
Here is Frank's third album, and another spectacular set of songs which say exactly what I think and feel but in a poetic way that I could never manage. It's clever, at times very funny, and it affects me in a profound way.
The songs here were worked on and recorded with the band that Frank uses live, and he says that it was a much more collaborative process than on his previous recording. This means that at times - Live Fast Die Old, Poetry of the Deed, The Road - the songs have a much fuller sound. At other times it is much more stripped down. But the feeling is there throughout, and the music is crafted beautifully around that feeling and passion.
The beauty of Turner is that the more you listen, the more the poetry comes through. And the more the poetry comes through, the more the music means, and the more you want to listen to it. This beautiful little circle hasn't finished for me yet with this album - indeed, it hasn't finished for me with his last album - and I look forward to the next few months/years and the hours of enjoyment this record is going to give me!
I can't recommend listening to Frank Turner enough. No music has affected me as much as his since I first got into music.
My current favourite songs on the album are the rollicking Try This At Home, the celebration of sunny afternoons in the park that is Dan's Song and the lovely, lovely Isabel.
Oh, and Journey of the Magi is so good it nearly makes me cry.
Paupers and kings, princes and thieves, singers of songs, righters of wrongs, be what you believe.

OK, I've been a Frank Turner fan since the final days of Million Dead to the Campfire Rock EP through to present day, and I love the guy for his energy, tireless touring and an amazing live show. His discography is getting pretty impressive now, and with lots of Radio 1 air play and love from the likes of Zane Lowe and Jo Wiley, its doubtless that 2009 will be a massive year for Frank.
I have to say, I am a little disappointed in his new album. I feel it lacks the consistent catchiness of Love, Ire and Song. I also feel after a few listens that The Road and Try This at Home are the best tracks, which is disappointing being that I heard these weeks before the album release. Frank's love of Bruce Springsteen seems to have taken his song writing down the middle of the road, rather than mixing it up with the punk/protest/folk we have heard on previous albums.
I also feel that more personal lyrics about nights out, girls and drugs have been replaced by generic lyrics about life and what we should all do before we die.
I love Frank and I shall still go to see him on tour, and maybe these songs will work better live. They are just failing to grab my attention on the album, a little like some tracks on Sleep is for the Week.
Almost gets a 4/5 but I feel that would be a little generous.

As someone who adored Frank's last album, "Love, Ire & Song", I have to confess that I found "Poetry Of The Deed" a lot more difficult to fall in love with, but it eventually... Read more

I'm trying really hard ...
Shouty Frank is back, and confronted with the difficult task of following up the outstanding "Love, Ire and Song", I fear he has gone slightly awry. Read more
