This is EXACTLY what the youth of today need - escapist fun from Southend's finest gothabilly misfits. Forget all your regular indie kid nonsense - it's time for The Horrors to 'stake' their claim right through the heart of the listening teenagers out there. Referencing 'alternative' (as it used to be called) bands that should have disbanded years before this band was even born, they bring a malevolent sense of fun back into pop - and a long-missed overdose of make up and hair products. Think The Cramps meets The Damned meets John Cooper Clarke meets Eighties Matchbox B Line Disaster meets Bauhaus meets L'Oreal. And why? Because they are worth it.

The Horrors come across like a cross between early Birthday Party and mid-period Damned with a hint of Radio Birdman thrown in. No doubt many will slag them off since they're young and cute but neither necessarily makes musicians worthless.

this is a fantastic album.
after the first listen you may dissmiss it as a gothic mess, but after a couple of listens and closer inspection of the lyrics you'll find that even the most fickle indie or pop purists will find somethind appealing in the cackling guitars or stabbed organ.
a great fun album.
not genius, but if you thought it would be you're looking at the wrong band altogther

Unlistenable!!!
I bought this for a friend who is a big fan of The Horrors. Unfortunately, it's not my cup of tea - depressing music at its worst!

this is a great debut album. reminds me of the gloomy batcave period even if I must say that batcave bands could barely play a note: instead of these five gorgeous, gothic and very... Read more

Used to hate it, now I love it
So what if they are taking the piss with the black clothes, dyed hair and all that? I bought this album and listened to about 3 songs before putting it in a draw for about a year,... Read more

Thank God for the Horrors !!! At long last a young British band that are more influenced by the GUN CLUB and D.A.F than the bloody BEATLES !

Yeah, but they're not very good are they...
If you have ever heard the band The Birthday Party or Bauhaus, The Horrors will irritate you intensely. The Horrors are all image, no content of any kind whatsoever. Read more

Trying too hard.
I wanted to like this i really did. But its boring and down right dull. Trying too hard to be scary. The whole image and everything is manufactured. Read more

Yuk!
poor poor album. Havnt given 1 star before but this is tame boring stuff. As stated in the press a much inferior rip off of the great Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster. Read more

Not a Horror!Not A Classic
I always think that people are over generous with the star rating they give albums on this site! The Horrors album 'strange house' is by no means a classic! Read more

I got the Horrors
I was really hoping they'd be as good as they look and in fact they are better. Great obscure cover version of Screaming Lord Sutch track. Ace keyoards and guitar. Read more
