Product Description
Review
Delays' vocalist Greg Gilbert, wrote 100 new songs whilst touring their Top 20 debut album, Faded Seaside Glamour, but unfortunately, his brother and bandmate Aaron lost the only copy of the demos. This loss forcedcontrol freak Greg to let the rest of the band take some of the pressure in recording the follow up 'You See Colours'. The result is a more assured and confident band.
The album features some surprises - "Lillian" contains squelchy electro backed onto an indie anthem whilst single "Valentine" pulses out an 80s synth bassline that is very much at home on the dancefloor. Delays have never seen the shame in writing pop (even if it is with an intellectual twist) and You See Colours is a breath of fresh air amongst the spiky punk-rock bands of today. --Kate Lawrence

The first two tracks are instant songs that age well. The rhythm section for track 2, Valentine, is just fantastic. As for the rest of the tracks on the album, they really grow on you and after a couple of listens, choosing your favorite track will start to get a little difficult. The range of the singer is excellent, but you may find you can't sing along too well. I recommend not trying to do so in company. Their earlier album is also really good.

Having completely surrendered to their superb debut album "Faded Seaside Glamour" after a friend played it to me, I have been looking forward to this CD for months...
From the beautiful, upbeat and yet mellow first track "You & Me" this band never disappoints - how do they manage to make such unique music (which sounds like no-one else), and yet keep it so commercial?!
Highlights are "Valentine", "You & Me" and "Waste of Space" but the album as a whole is consistently listenable...for a relatively 'new' band who are still pretty young, they have the world at their feet now their first two albums are available for the world to hear.
The only question is - how do they keep up with the impossibly high quality standards they've set themselves to date?!!! I've no doubt that somehow they'll manage it ;-)
Buy with complete confidence and enjoy...

This is my first ever review, but if an album deserved it this is it. So many albums nowadays have a few memorable songs, some seem to get away with one hit single, but this is different. It's packed with powerful upbeat foot tapping tunes and yes it is different to Faded Seaside Glamour, but these guys have upped their game in a big way. Sod the Arctic Monkeys, this is the album everyone should be raving about. Every instrument plays a part on this album and in my opinion there are so few flatspots as to be inconsequential. Don't look for ballads either, Waste of Space is the closest there is! Buy it, play it loud...

They are capable of better
First things first, it's a great album. Standout tracks for me are 'Hideaway', 'Lillian', 'Waste of Space' and 'Valentine'.
So why 4 stars and not 5? Read more
