5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album of the year, 20 Aug 2005
By A Customer
The long awaited second album from Leaves does not disappoint. It is
even better than the first album Breathe. It is a mixture of long sweaping epics like Shakma and wonderful songs like the Spell which is truely amazing. As We Walk is very fine and is better than anything I have heard for a long time.
I saw them live twice this year playing their new material and have never seen anything like it. Out of all the recent mix of great indie groups, Leaves really shine.
I would recommend this album above anything else that has been released in the last few months.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Superb, 24 Aug 2005
By CK (Risca) - See all my reviews
How best to describe Leaves? There's something very mystical about the music, which may be derived from their homeland. Iceland; a place full of ancient tales, dramatic scenery and Bjork music. Thank God she isn't the sole representative of the Icelandic music scene.

Leaves are a bit different from the rest of the indie crowd that have developed in recent years. Every song is full-bodied and mixed to perfection, and listen to those lyrics! Other bands (Editors for example) have song lyrics that would shame a five-year old but Leaves have written cohesive material. A perfect example is in 'The Transparent';
'A whisper in my ear, I turn around there's nothing there,
They've all disappeared,
A distant sound of footsteps in the air.'

What about the title song, 'The Angela Test'? It may well be the best song I've ever heard. It's one of those tunes that sticks in your head, going around and around driving you mad. And 'Good Enough'; what a fantastic rock song. And the subtle air of menace in 'Should Have Seen It All'. And the beautiful crescendo leading into the final chorus at the end of 'The Spell'. There's so much here to praise, it's impossible to explain it all.

The only way for you to find out is to buy one of the best albums this year by one of the best bands around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps my personal Album of the Year!, 6 Sep 2005
By David Parker (burlington, vermont United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Since this album isn't (so far) being released in the States (a shame, too, with all the crap that the labels over here DO release week after week), I thought I would at least write a review from overseas here in the U.S. to praise this album. If you consider the rather boring moniker of "Coldplay meets Radiohead", which would correctly describe the first Leaves album "Breathe", don't let that stop you from hearing this new one. A maturity and depth not found in the last several Radiohead albums and a lack of pretentiousness that often IS found in Coldplay is not to be heard here. Perhaps it is the influence of their chilled homeland of Iceland that gives this album such a balance of warmth and coolness, but this is music that washes over you with a blend of melodies and instrumentation that I haven't heard since "OK Computer" - and without any of the anthemic, arena-ready compositions now so much a part of Coldplay's latest incarnation. I thought "X & Y" was my favorite album this year, until I sat down with this. A perfect album - one that needs to see the light of day in America.
