4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better but talent on show for all to see, 23 Jan 2007
By Mr. M. A. Morris - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hats Off To The Buskers (Audio CD)
The View just knocked me off my feet when I heard Wasted Little DJ's and Skag Trendy way back when. I heard Edith Bowman compare this to Definitely Maybe, that is a huge over-reaction. At the moment the world has gone mad for indie, when Oasis were cutting their teeth it was nearly impossible to get a record deal. They were hardened on the indie circuit and had a songbook full of tunes before they were signed; this isn't the case for these fresh faced Dundonians. The benefit to this is that we get bands that will get better and better with each album. The View show incredible song writing talents on many of these tracks but my problem is that with an album to fill there are a couple of fillers that revert to copying their heroes, Libertines/Babyshambles mainly. There is no doubt however that Comin Down is a belter, as are all the singles, Skag Trendy, Gran's for tea and Street Lights even if the last two lack the rock 'n' roll pazzaz you might like these Primal Scream supporters to have flowing through their veins.

It is unfortunate that they are going to be likened to urch-rock like The Paddingtons and The Others, and its even worse that they are going to become contempories to indie formula bands like The Kooks and The Fratellis. Make no mistake they are a class act, one or two songs less (certainly Face for Radio and Claudia should have been a B-side) and they should have included Posh Boys and Up The Junction despite the fact they have already been B-sides. Anyway don't worry about the gripes, climb on board because I'm sure these lads certainly have a Definitely Maybe/Up The Bracket in them, just that this isn't it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Ignore This Band!, 25 Jun 2007
By T. Brooks "Olospo" (Oxford, Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hats Off To The Buskers (Audio CD)
The music is fun and catchy. However like most bands now a days once the radio and tv shows get hold of them their songs will be drummed into your head. Even so this is defiantly worthy of a place in anyones CD collection.

The best songs on the album include:
+ Superstar Tradesman
+ Same Jeans
+ The Don
+ Face For The Radio
+ Dance Into The Night
+ Claudia
+ Streetlights

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic quality - this group will go far, 5 April 2007
By Ms. R. P. Colbourn "HixxySoft" (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this album along with Good Bad & The Queen. Thought they were both mediocre, but carried on playing this one. I've been to over 600 live performances over 25 years, and have over 500 CDs, of which this is the best. This band have what it takes to be as big as the Beatles. Although many influences can be heard - Undertones, Sex Pistols, and many others, their sound is unique - a blend of punk/blues and pure rock'n'roll. The words are genius - Skag Trendy is a sad song of epic quality. Street Lights just has you imagine looking down into a Scottish city (Edinburgh for me) at all the lights. The singer has the occasional Johnny Rotten sound. Most of all I love the changes of tempo - both in singing and backing. I went to see them on the NME tour and whilst even more raw live, they are superb. It staggers me that such a young group can produce something so original, with such meaningful words, and such musical quality.If you've bought this and not sure on it - listen again until you love it!! If you haven't bought it - buy it!
