Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
At the time of their first album, Northern Ireland's punk pop maestros were teenage stars while still waiting for their A level results. In the five years since their widely acclaimed debut, 1977, Tim Wheeler's band have learned quickly. Their second album Nu-Clear Sounds suggested a new heavier direction. But, in the 18 months it took them to write and record their third album, Ash have gone even further. With second guitarist Charlotte Hatherley now an integral part of the group, Wheeler is free to reclaim his pop craftsman mantle. Classic 1960s symphonic pop has inspired songs such as "Someday" and "Candy", the latter actually sampling The Walker Brothers' "Make It Easy On Yourself" to heart-stopping effect. Wheeler completed many of the compositions on Free All Angels at his parents' home in Ireland, and the wistful feel of old memories made fresh with sizzling guitar and stomping beats suggest Ash will be around for the long haul. --Gavin Martin

CD Description
Ash's follow up to 1998's 'Nu-Clear Sounds' includes the top 5 single 'Shining Light', and the top 20 'Burn Baby Burn'.This release sees the Downpatrick quartet return to the punk-pop sound of their debut LP, '1977'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the Year 2001, 24 May 2002
By A Customer
This is quite simply a stunning album, full of incendiary summer-loving pop-rock songs that demonstrate a band doing their utmost to save the world from Westlife and Slipknot.
The opening salvo constitutes quite possibly the best three tracks of 2001. Walking Barefoot is a bona fide classic, which epitomises the whole spirit of the album and will soundtrack every summer until the end of time. Shining Light has a wonderfully memorable pop hook, and Burn Baby Burn is as explosive and energetic a track as Tim Wheeler ever wrote.
Interspersed between the full-on adrenaline rush of the faster tracks, there are some sublime ballads here too. Sometimes is the best example - a bittersweet summer soft-rock masterpiece. The band have also invested in an immense string section, which features on Candy, Someday and most effectively on the atmospheric There's A Star.
The main topics of songwriting are girls, summer and both at once, but variety is shown on Nicole, which, incredibly, is about murdering your girlfriend! Pacific Palisades and the appropriately named Cherry Bomb are two more storming, hell-for-leather pop explosions, with lyrics about Benzedrine and teenage crushes in school corridors.
All in all, then, a terrific return to form for Britain's brightest stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ash are back and smokin' :), 19 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Sorry, that was an awful one-liner. Anyway, I never used to be an Ash fan, especially after listening to 'Nu-Clear Sounds', but I have to say that 'Free All Angels' has completely converted me. It was the single release of 'Sometimes' that prompted me to buy the album, and I can't say I'm disappointed. Aside from the poor 'Shark' and 'Submission', you will listen to the songs on this album again and again (I know, I listened to it all summer). 'Candy', although a good pop song, does not seem to fit with Ash's usual punky style. 'Cherry Bomb', 'Burn Baby Burn', 'Nicole', 'World Domination' and 'Pacific Palisades' are real rocking tracks, whereas 'There's a Star' and 'Someday' are more ballady, though nevertheless well worth listening to. The first track, 'Walking Barefoot' is a complete Ash classic, as is 'Shining Light'. And then there's 'Sometimes' - quite simply the best thing Tim Wheeler has ever written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sm-Ash-ing album, 13 Nov 2001
By A Customer
The first 3 tracks alone warrant purchase of this album. "Walking Barefoot", one of the most stunning songs I have ever heard, both brings a lump to your throat and puts you on top of the world. The lyrics "You were broke all summer,but you still sing, don't need money when its sunny, don't need anything, just need music and sun and laughter, no currency, the sun on your bare shoulders comes for free" are beautiful, and "Walking Barefoot" has convinced me that Tim Wheeler is a genius.
We then have the melodic Shining Light, and inspirational track, and then the second best song, "Burn Baby Burn", which just puts you in rocking bliss for the whole 3 minutes and 29 seconds. After this wonderful trio, the great songs continue, notably Cherry Bomb, Pacific Palisades, Sometimes and Nicole.
"Shark", "Submisson", and "Someday" are relatively weak, but apart from that, the album is superb. Buy it!

If you like the pop/punk side of Ash this is easily their best work containing most of their commercial hits. Very different to the heavier, thrashier sound of their later albums.
