Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
This special edition includes a bonus disc with six exclusive live tracks from the Liverpool Academy.

The Music are nothing if not confounding. Their second album, Welcome to the North would, based on its title alone, suggest that this quartet wear their Northerness on their sleeve. But rather than producing yet another tired Oasis or Stone Roses pastiche, the Music decamped to the distinctly un-Northern town of Atlanta, Georgia to work with renowned rock producer Brendan O'Brien (best known for working with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden). The results are thrilling--an over-the-top, bombastic album that often manages to combine the rock power of Led Zeppelin with the epic psychedelia of Jane's Addiction (helped by frontman Robert Harvey's vocal similarities to Perry Farrell and drummer Phil Jordan's breakneck drumming, reminiscent of Stephen Perkins). And though the lyrics occasionally venture into pretension (really, who says "mine eyes" anymore?), they're made forgivable by the power of tracks like "Freedom Fighters" and "Bleed from Within" (which even boasts a drum solo). In fact, the only outright homage to their Northern indie heritage is "I Need Love", with a danceable, New Order-esque bassline that drives the whole thing along. But generally, they stick to their guns instead of their roots, making Welcome to the North a great rock album. --Robert Burrow

5.0 out of 5 stars prepare to be blown away, 9 Sep 2005
When i first heard it all i could say was wow but after that it just kept getting better and better. Definately one of the best ive heard in the last few years buy it and you will not regret it, just cant hipe it enough and if you get a chance go see them as they are maybe even better live. It is one of the few albums that i dont skip a single track. A true five star album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it!, 8 Sep 2005
When i first heard this album i thought WOW but after listening to it a few times it just kept getting better. Probably the best album i have heard in the last few years. Buy it and prepare to be blown away. The only problem is i couldn't bring myself to take it out th hi-fi. If asked one word to describe it i have to say mindblowing. Get it

3.0 out of 5 stars Good music -- awful production, 15 Mar 2006
By Oli Grünfeld (DAGENHAM, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This CD is LOUD. Stupidly loud. After a couple of tracks it's like listening to a hairdryer -- with all "highs" and no "lows" it gradually starts to sound like a blur. You really notice it on headphones -- it's almost unlistenable on headphones. Oddly enough the "best" this CD sounded was on the cheap and CD player -- go figure.

It's a such a shame because "Welcome To The North" is basically a fantastic set of songs but ruined by horrible production.
