4.0 out of 5 stars What Took You So Long, 11 April 2008
By Mr. C. J. Lawson "radiofriendly11" (Halifax) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Courteeners finally released their highly anticipated debut album on the 7th April. The backlash has no doubt begun after Liam Fray declared this offering to be up there with the Stone Roses debut. To be fair he had to big the album up but St Jude doesn't quiet hit the heights that the Stone Roses debut did. Although it is a very good first effort
I have seen the band on many occasions over the last 6 months and the songs have evolved a lot since I first heard them. This made the first listen quite difficult for me but once I got past the fact the songs had changed slightly I realised what a great piece of work St Jude really is. The songs really work well as a whole and the listener never finds themselves getting bored. The Courteeners have added layers of sound on various fan favourites which makes them sound a little weird at first.
The outstanding track on the album is "Please Don't" which has a girl group drumbeat reminiscent of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound recordings. One listen of this and the listener realises there is a lot more depth and sensitivity to the Courteeners than previously thought. This is again highlighted on the album closer "yesterday, Today and Probably Tomorrow" which is an eloquent ode to a love that the singer knows will never last. It evokes memories of Morrissey at his best and leaves the listener in no doubt that there is definitely more to come from the Courteeners.
Just buy the album and decide for yourself. I'm sure you won't be disappointed

5.0 out of 5 stars St Jude - Patron Saint of Lost Causes; not this time!!!, 13 Oct 2008
By Steven T. Jarvis "Skarekrow" (Thanet, Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: St. Jude (Audio CD)
I first heard of The Courteeners at this year's "V" Festeval; I hadn't heard of them and wasn't going to bother - until I heard them. They were brilliant!!! I bought the album, St Jude, as soon as I could afterwards. There is a definite "Libertine" style to their music, but I have got to disagree with any similarity to The Smiths or Morrissey. No, lyrically, I would say there is a suggestion of The Wedding Present, but the most important thing is that The Courteeners have a very unique sound - they are not a product of other styles nor are they Top Ten Pop Fodder; they are a band that should be watched for the future. The bonus disc gives an even better insight into the band's abilities, with acustic versions of album tracks and additional tracks to delight, amaze and leave you wanting more. A truly brilliant album and, even if you have to sell an elderly relative to do so, I recomend you see The Courteeners live.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hype is a fatal thing, 1 Jul 2008
I heard nothing but praise for quite a while before i tried this. I kept hearing things like "It's not the normal indie music that is being churned out these days". But after a listen I realised that it is just that and what these people should have been saying was "It is the normal indie music that is being churned out these days".
Theres nothing special about it. Nothing fresh really.

This may seem like harsh criticism, but i'm not saying it's terrible, just that it's definately not new. If you're happy listening to the wombats and stuff like that, with no real experimentation, then you'll be golden here.
I think that this stems from the fact that I've got an odd taste in music, I started out listening to stuff like this, Oasis, Travis et.c, but eventually I moved to pastures new. I really like experimentation, if it's not a bit different it doesn't last long in my playlists.

To sum up, this is OK, but nothing innovative like the praisers would have you believe.
