Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The second album from Funeral For A Friend confirms that the spirit of emotional hardcore is alive and well in the valleys of South Wales. Hailed by the band as a darker follow-up to their 2003 debut, Hours strays from the time-honoured boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl template, with vocalist Matt Davies tackling topics like domestic abuse, alcoholism and the death of friends on tracks like "Roses For The Dead" and "History".

Somewhat disappointingly, there’s less vocal input from drummer Ryan Richards, whose gutsy death-metal howls always proved the perfect foil for Davies’ sensitive, pitch-perfect tones. It’s not quite enough to unbalance Funeral’s perfect balance between sweetness and savagery, mind: for every "Drive" – a chiming, lighters-out moment that sounds unnervingly, towards the end, like Bright Eyes – there’s a raging, thrash-tinged "The End Of Nothing" that reminds you exactly why Funeral For A Friend are still more vital, important, and plain enjoyable than 95% of the other nu-emo bands out there. --Louis Pattison

CD Description
Welsh screamo stars follow up their 2003 debut 'Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation' with this much more punchilytitled sophomore effort. Now an international priority for their paymasters at Warners - who have drafted in metal super producer Terry Date (Deftones, Limp Bizkit) to slap a fat,thick, glossy production on their angst ridden melodic metalcore - they have turned in a more varied set of tunes without losing their sharp sense of songcraft. Includes the singles 'Streetcar' and 'Monsters'.

5.0 out of 5 stars They still got it, 14 Jun 2005
Having loved the first album so much this is probaly my most anticipated album of the year. Upon the 1st listen it appeared to be not the same funeral of a friend, with no screams and not as heavy on most songs.

However the more I have listened the more I have fallen in love with this album. The catchy metal guitar riffs are still here along with Matt Davies soaring vocals. I understand the complaints about it sounding 'samey' ,the lack of screams from drummer Ryan Richards and i do miss them, but to be honest with them it would have sounded very similar to the first album.I can especially appreciate some of the more mellow offerings on the album including personal fav "History".

Overall i think it works better as a collection of songs that their previous effort, definately a much more polished and mature sound expressed in emotional lyrics.

Highlights include the 1st single "Streetcar", "Hospitality" and "Alavez" , but to be honest their isnt a bad track.

I hope fans can appreciate this release as a step foward rather than stepping back.

You gotta get this!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hours, 12 Jun 2005
I'll keep this brief too. Basically this is an enjoyable, good quality album with several catchy songs which will fly off the shelves. However, i find it slightly disapointing as FFAF appear to have lost their balls. Either they've compromised for a larger audience, or they're just not angry enough any longer. More mature style, but not the energy of the previous releases. Still worth getting, just expect to be using it as background music reasonably soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars funeral for a friend do it again, 4 Jun 2006
I first heard FFAF about 2 years ago. I saw the video for escape artists never die on MTV2 and was thoroughly hooked. After rushing out to get 'casually dressed...' I couldn't wait to see what the welsh lads would do next. And this is it...Hours, an amazing collection of heartwrenching, blistering, mosh-worthy anthems from a group who deserve all the recognition they've gotten over the last few years.

Classic songs off Hours include the first single 'streetcar', one of the best songs of 2005, and the beautifully moving 'drive.' There is a diverse range of tracks on here, ranging from the slow, tragic melodies to pure, heavy guitar riffs that you cannot ignore. I would recommend this for any FFAF fans, and it serves as a great introduction to their work. Oh, and if you ever get a chance, go and see them live...they're one of the most amazing and lovely people to go and witness doing what they do best...ROCKING OUT! just buy it, you need this album.
