Product Description

Amazon.co.uk
Though they recorded their third album in an industrial area in Vancouver (as opposed to the sunny California they’ve been obsessed with since they started out), The Thrills--fans will be pleased to know--have not lost their inherently sunny dispositions. Produced by Tony Hoffer (who helmed their debut), this latest outing sees the band engage with that most American of themes – yep, the teenager. The quartet’s trademark vocal harmonies, recognisable instrumentation and light, catchy melodies are rolled out in fine style on opening track "The Midnight Choir," continuing apace on tunes like the jaunty "This Year", the solid "Nothing Changes 'Round Here" and the jangling "Restaurant". Infused with the air of nostalgia that the title suggests, there’s also some welcome edginess. The band keep to their formula of short, 3 1/2 minute songs too--a good idea given the grating potential of Conor Deasy’s croaky vocals, which can sometimes stretch the listener to breaking point. Teenager is occasionally bogged down by a tendency to slip into samey territory, but the slow-burn allure of songs like the title track and "Should Have Know Better" make this something of a return to form for Dublin’s most American band. --Paul Sullivan

CD Description
Three years after the release of The Thrills' second album 'Let's Bottle Bohemia' comes the Dublin based five piece's follow-up 'Teenager.' The product of exhaustive studio sessions and a obsessive level of attention to detail, the album sees the band manage to emulate and at points even surpass the quality of their debut 'So Much For The City.' Produced byTony Hoffer (Beck, Belle & Sebastian, Grandaddy), the albumperfectly showcases The Thrills' talents in combining impossibly catchy melodies and sophisticated instrumentation to produce another classic record in waiting. Includes the single 'Nothing Changes Around Here'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 12 Jul 2007
By Peter Wilson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A wonderful third album. Despite mentions of a new sound, it's distinctively 'Thrills', especially in the opening tracks. Instrumentation great as always, slight improvement in lyrical maturity and the stomping beats remain. Love 'This Year', 'Mignight Choir' and 'I'm So Sorry'. Nostalgic but still a summery sound, aside from the darker final songs on the album, which are 'slow burners' to say the least. Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars just teenagers at heart, 14 Sep 2007
By Bernard Davis "Bernard Davis" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Do you remember the third Summer of Love? 2003 wasn't it? The Thrills were going to take the world by storm, but had to settle for stirring up a light warm breeze.

So what are they like now? The good news is that song after song The Thrills are still delivering strong tunes and arrangements 60's West Coast USA meets 80's and 90's guitar pop style. What lets them down on a fair number of these tracks is the quality of the lyrics. Mind you, although they sound as world weary as ever, they have moved back in time, no longer the 20 somethings struggling to get out of an american one horse town they have reverted to surveying their fumbling teenage years in Dublin as wistfully as ever.

If you liked So Much For The City this is right up your street - there is even the return of some girl - or at least girlish - backing vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Record!, 24 Jul 2007
By Elaine Skinner (Fife, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Teenager (Audio CD)
Its been well worth the wait for The Thrills 3rd

record Teenager, its a work of art, I love the

melodies and the lyrics, the mandilon brings that

extra magic to the songs. Its great to have the 3

records, each one different but with the great

difinitive stamp of The Thrills through them:-)
I bought the special edition which has a 70 minute

DVD called The End of Innocence, was great to take

the journey with the band through their early days

till now. Well worth the purchase and if you don't

own the first 2 records you should buy them too

just to see the great diversity and talent of this

great band!
