This is hope is awesome. Definitely album of the year so far, and it would take something really magical to top it. The first track is called "Peculiar", and it's different, but superb, and a great opener, sort of a melody that you wouldn't think of, but it works.
Obviously we've all heard "How bout I love you more", the catchy first single. Then Colin takes on a very Scottish sound for the next two tracks, "Treescavengers" and "This is the hebrides", so fans of early Snow Patrol, Astrid and Reindeer Section would be happy. "Tobermory Zoo" is a belter, and he incorporated some of it (Come on and join up if you can), into the MHS song on tour last year, and it's upbeat. It sounds a bit Coralish to start off with, but wipes the floor with anything they've done.
The peice de resistance are tracks 7, 8 and 9. "Death of a Scienti$t (Vision of man over machine 2004)" is a grandiose track, an epic. The drumming is excellent, and it goes up and down a lot. Colin opens up his heart on this, and the next, "Your love, my gain". It's a slower number, but really beautiful. It's got a brilliant lyric, (Your love, your love, my gain again). Track 9 should definitely be the second single. It's Colin's most poppy song to date, and is called "Casanova (at the weekend)". It's perhaps the best pop song Mull have done, and makes you want to get up and dance.
Next come "My friend the addict", and "Len", which is one of my favourite Mull songs lyrically, superb. The last track is a fabulous and dramatic closer. "In the next life(a requiem)" is really all about hope, and brings the album together wonderfully.
You'll not be disappointed, it's fantastic.

This is Hope carry's on from Loss and Us, and certainly keeps up Colin MacIntyre's rich vein of form.
Peculiar gets the album of to an upbeat start, and draws parallels with earlier releases such as Watching Xanadu. How Bout I Love You More, the first (and currently only) song lifted from the album, keeps up this tempo, and is a great sing-a-long moment to live concerts.
Treescavengers, slows the pace down, with it's piano driven intro slightly reminiscent of Coldplay. This is the Hebrides, obviously influenced by MacIntyres recent jaunts to America, is mainly acoustic based, but is a real highlight of this album, and really grows on you.
Tobermory Zoo is a slice of the quirky pop Mull Historical Society are so apt at producing. Again, it has hidden qualities, which really shine when played live. You can't help but sing along here. Conversely, Death of a Scientist is a slower, stop start number, and is as close to an epic as Mull Historical Society have produced thus far.
Based around a third person narrative of the death of Dr David Kelly (Uk Weapons expert, who comitted suicide during the Iraq war scandal), this is as lyrically brilliant a song as I've ever heard from Mr MacIntyre. Your Love My Gain is a lush, piano fed ballad. A real chill out song. Really pays testiment to how Colin MacIntyres song writing has matured. This is simply brilliant.
Casanova at the Weekend is next. This one has future single written all over it, My god it's good. Apparently it deals with human cloning. Really? I'd never have guessed unless I hadn't heard it from Colin himself. Turn this one up, and watch as even the most placid of listeners will begin to dance around the room and sing along. My absolute favourite from this stonking album!
My Friend the Addict appears over the horizon next, and actually takes the listener by surprise. One of the slower numbers from the album. Not that it's out of place.
Len is the penultimate track. And is a fairly mid-tempo slice of pop dealing with a fairly serious issue. Not that you'd really notice it. The chorus is excellent.
On to the last track, In The Next Life (A Requiem). I'm not sure really where to start with this one. It never really did much for me, untill I listened to it through the earphones on my iriver. God, there is so much you don't hear. Gospel singers, a conversation about Hitler, an appearence by Colins Granny.
Give this one time. It's not instantanious like Casanova at the Weekend, but hey, it really does get there. It's a bit stop/starty, like Death of a Scientist. Colins voice really shines through here. Such beatiful, personal lyrics. Stunning.
It's such a pity that this album didn't recieve the airplay or publicity it really does richly deserve. I can only hope it gets the praise it so richly deserves.

Colin Macintyre is coming close to being a Noughties Dylan, with this his third album in three years.
Mixing his trademarks of rich instrumentation and fragile vocals with bittersweet,intelligent lyrics to create a masterpiece. The contempary concerns of modern living resonate through the thirteen tracks here with no filler and very little pomposity(unlike Coldplay,Dido,David Gray).
Few people would regret buying this scottish gem, some american influences are welcome strangely and create a wider world view under the scottish cover and veneer.
Released back in the summer this seems to be a perfect winter record..something to play by the fire...as the minor chords luure you into another place...!
