This is a really nice album.Good musicians.Good vocals.And some quite nice songs.But with the amount of press focus and general media attention i was expecting something more than a nice album.I was expecting a great album.An exellent album.
Unfortunately i did not get that.I got three good tracks "Santa Cruz" "Say it ain't so" and "One Horse Town".And one great track:"Big Sur".But I was still very disapointed.I dont really listen to the album past track seven anymore.

However if you are just lounging about on a Sunday morning it is a pleasant start to the day.

With this album, The Thrills have created an immediately likeable collection of effortless pop tunes. From the catchy opening track, Santa Cruz, you're carried away on a summer holiday as singer Conor Deasy croons about familiar American locations.
No doubt you've read in every other review about The Thrills that their sound pays homage to the era of West Coast and The Beach Boys and it works well for them in this breezy collection. The singles One Horse Town and Big Sur are a good indication of the other songs on the album so if you liked those, you're bound to love this. But at the same time, the more catchy, upbeat tunes are tempered by more melancholic sounding songs such as on the achingly beautiful Deckchairs and Cigarettes.
This is the perfect soundtrack to the summer with breezy, sunshiney tunes to lie back and enjoy.

I'd agree with one of the other reviews - the total West Coast conversion of these Dubliners has to reduce their appeal, but they're so convincing that you don't really care. Great chilled tunes for a summer's road trip, relaxing, relieving, gentle on the eardrums.
I don't think I'll be able to listen to the album without thinking of happy summer 2003 and a big smile appearing on my face.

A Time-grower
I heard "Big Sur" at a friend's house and feel in love with the vocal harmonies, the sweet 60s-lyrics and the melodies. Read more

Take anything by the Beach Boys and filter through anything by The High Llamas and this is what you will get. Read more

Brilliant Album
This is a great album with very singalong songs. A pleasant change from all the rubbish around these days. Read more

Good potential, but a very mixed bag...
The second half of this album I like - the slow-burning laid-back songs really hint at some genuine potential as UK alt-country contenders. Read more

A fantastic summer album
I have had this CD for nearly a year now and it is still one of my most played. I saw The Thrills perform 'Big Sur' on a Jools Holland show and was immediately hooked. Read more

Good album, recommended
The Thrills are the best thing to come out of Ireland. Apart from U2, Guisness and potatoes. This is a really good album. Read more

Of all the band-names...
Santa Cruz. One of the loveliest summer songs I've ever heard, it gentlybreezes into a lightly energetic chorus, and then back to woozy, sweetpop. Read more
