Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Stereophonics' fifth album will inevitably provide more material for the band's critics, if only for the fact its title has clearly been rather lazily inspired from the back of a rental video case. The music within, however, is anything but laid-back: the employment of Argentinean drummer Javier Weyler, who replaces founding member Stuart Cable, sees the band venturing further along the hard-rock path that spawned previous denim-and-leather-clad tracks like "Moviestar". The first three tracks find frontman Kelly Jones is in downbeat mood, his vocals drawled and insouciant, and his lyrics distinctly sour--take the raging "Doorman", where he rails against some faceless bouncer with surprising and rather paranoid ferocity: "You like nothing more than to break my face/ You like to throw me out on the street!". Things sweeten towards the album's middle, providing two of the album's stand-out tracks: the chiming, electronic-tinged "Dakota" is a light, buoyant anthem that deserves to be a hit, while "Rewind" is a reflective moment that pricks memories of mid-period U2. But on the whole, Language. Sex. Violence. Other? isn't an album out to win new fans – it's an album that caters to the Stereophonics' rock faithful, and it's them who'll really dig it. --Louis Pattison

CD Description
Fifth studio album from Welsh rockers Stereophonics. This is the follow-up to 2003's 'You Gotta Go There To Come Back' and features drummer Javier Weyler making his debut following the departure of Stuart Cable. Produced by Jim Lowe and lead singer Kelly Jones, the album is crammed full of catchy pop tunes, smooth guitar riffs and beautiful ballads. The singles 'Dakota' and 'Superman' are included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Rock and Roll, 10 Mar 2006
By A Customer
I'll be honest, I didnt like the Stereophonics before. There is odd good song like "Have a nice day", but they always seemed boring. So imagine my suprise when I hear "Dakota" on the radio. On the strength of that song I bought this album and I was not disapointed.
"Superman" is a laid back, swaggering song, full of confidence. Kelly Jones sings falsetto excellently. "Doorman" instantly explodes into life, probably the heaviest, most rocking track on the album. Guitarists (like me) will love the scorching solo at the end. "Brother" and "Devil" are both straight up rock songs, catchy and full of assurance.
"Dakota", the first single, is a fantastic song, with hooking melodies and strong lyrics. "Rewind" is a slower paced song that still fits on the album and is more listenable than anything (except Madame Helga) off the last album.
"Girl" is a short, explosive song, full of thrashy guitars and agression.
Now for a suprise. Dakota is not the best song on the album. The best is lurking at track 10 and is called "Deadhead" Man, this song is awesome! The intro, carried by this bass, is full of menace, hinting at whats to come. There are wailing distorted lead guitar moments everywhere. The verses are sharp and melodic and the chorus is superb, very catchy. It ends with a cool guitar solo and an extended chorus. This is definatly the best song the 'phonics have ever written.
So there are the highlights, but all the songs are good. Buy this album, it rocks!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Return To Form, 7 Feb 2005
By A Customer
I've been a fan of The Stereophonics since their fantastic debut album 'Word Gets Around', yet I thought that their last two offerings lacked some of their previous energy and they were in danger of becoming jaded. I thought the same of fellow Welsh rockers The Manics too, but like The Manic's latest offering, this too sees The 'Phonics return to top form.

Gone are the slower, melancholy tracks that, while good, have lowered the tone of previous albums, and back are loads of pumping, heavier tracks. The whole thing chuggs along at a great pace and I found myself tapping my foot to pretty much every track on the first listen. It all ended too soon at only 11 tracks, but better to leave you wanting more than padding it out with filler and then never really getting to track 15....

Maybe their new drummer injected some new venom, but whatever the reason it's good to see them back to their best. Shame about the title, though.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am new to the phonics but......., 18 Jul 2005
By A Customer
I lived in Wales for many years and I never really "got" the phonics! BUT this is a superb album and I will be looking back over their catalogue to see what I missed in my lesser informed days.

The reviews on here tend to be long time phonics fans saying this album rocks or "it sucks and they were far better back in the day when tv was black and white yadda yadda"

If you have no prior exposure to the band and want to know if this is any good if you aint a preformed fan then .... IT IS!

This album rocks, pure and simple. They may have made better albums and I will certainly be checking out their back catalogue but this album still rocks. Dakota is getting airtime now and I 1st heard it on tv, having got hold of the album there are a number of classic tracks - Rewind, Lolita, Feel and the winner Dakota. A thoroughly enjoyable ablum, has been playing non stop on my ipod for a week now, the sort of album that you can kill an hour with and not notice it pass.

For the people who claim to have hit the "next" button 11 times after 10 seconds of each track ..... well ok but thats hardly giving it a chance, the best albums I have ever heard have bitten me second or third play. if it hits you 1st time its usually disposable pop you will be sick of after half a dozen plays. This album has me hooked.

And if you happen to really hate it theres always ebay.

Highly recommended, by the way "deadhead" is superb also - playing now!!!!!
