Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Razorlight's eponymous sophomore release doesn't so much reinvent the freewheeling sensibilities of their '04 debut Up All Night as hone them into a more willfully focused pop whole, a mindset that immediately evinces itself on the inviting, Boomtown Rats-meets-INXS-flavored opener "In the Morning." The growing confidence of songwriter/vocalist Johnny Borrell is almost palpable as he expands the band's horizons to include the '50s-rooted influences of "Before I Fall to Pieces" and the Dion-esque "Who Needs Love," the Chrissie Hynde-bred tension of "Hold On" and the sonic fervor of early U2 on "Pop Song 2006." Gratifyingly, that tack has also pushed the rest of the band - especially guitarist Bjorn Agren - towards honing their chops in service of a tighter, yet still playful sound. It may be too easy for seasoned ears to deconstruct the influences here, but by the time this taut, economic collection closes on the high note of the melodramatic "Los Angeles Waltz" even the cynics should be won over. --Jerry McCulley

CD Description
The follow-up to the million selling 2004 debut 'Up All Night', Johnny Borrell and Co release their self-titled second album. Recorded in London and produced by Chris Thomas (U2, Pulp, Elton John), this effort delivers a more mature, anthemic sound, drawing comparisons with Oasis' 'Definitely Maybe' and consolidating Razorlight's status as one of Britain's top guitar bands. Includes the single 'In The Morning'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Boys rock, 28 Jul 2006
I love this album even though it's not as diverse as the debut.The guitars, lyrics and vocals compliment like any good rock album should - wind that car window right down and pump up the volume

1.0 out of 5 stars Razor-sh*te would have been more appropriate., 14 Dec 2006
By Jonathan James Romley (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This is The Cars re-packaged for the 21st century, and a return to the vapid rock values of dull 70's pop acts that survived on image alone.

Seriously. Buy this album if you don't like to be challenged (or if The Beautiful South prove to be too "out-there" for you). This is mindless, substance-less riff-rock for people who want to sing along to words that mean nothing. The empty meandering musings of a talentless poseur trying desperately to appeal to his own sense of selfish self-worth and his own carefully constructed self-image. Who cares if the songs are bland as long as the hype machine is in overdrive. It's a sorry state of affairs, but it's true. The rock songs don't rock, the pop songs don't pop and the love songs were probably composed while Borrell was looking in a mirror. A shocking ode to a generation consumed by apathy and rampant consumerism.

If you think Borrel is the greatest songwriter of his generation, and that this album is somehow a meaningful statement (or even a good album!), then I can only demand that you listen to more music. Even the boring cover art is indicative of the bland nonsense that lurks within. An empty testament to itself and it's own sense of bloated self-image. Vapid, vacuous and entirely preoccupied with itself.

This is the kind of album that is perfect for downloading. A disposable format for a disposable generation. Rip the five songs you like and whack it on an iPod (probably the most useless invention ever) with 5000 other songs by equally bland artists that the NME or MTV have told you to like. Listen to them on the bus on your way to work/school/college, or play it in the background at dinner parties or social gatherings.

This is music as a soundtrack to drudgery... or worse, music as a lifestyle commodity. The kind of record that will appeal to people who think they like music, but really don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-stop Excellence, 28 Nov 2006
By Stegofreak (Ireland) - See all my reviews
Never one to run out and buy an album purely on popular opinion, it was with some caution that I picked up Razorlight's self titled album. In the two weeks since I bought it, the album has been a regular feature in my CD-player and on my PC and has left me with no regrets for taking a chance on it.

Right from the first track, `In the Morning', `Razorlight' proves to be an album of excellent quality with tracks like `Who Needs Love', `America', `Can't Stop This Feeling I Got' and the finale `Los Angeles Waltz' keeping the listener's ears peaked. And that's taking nothing from the other five tracks that are definitely worth praise of their own.

If I can have one criticism of the album it would be its thirty-five minute length. However, the track line-up more than makes up for the shortness of the album and will give you thirty-five minutes of listening pleasure.

Razorlight's `Razorlight' is an album I'd highly recommend to anyone who takes their music collection seriously. Length aside, it is an album of exceptional quality and an example of popular opinion backing a real winner.
