Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It’s got to shore up your rank as no-frills no-sell-out hard-edge punk pioneers when another respected no-frills no-sell-out hard-edge punk band name check you in a song title of theirs. Which is exactly what no-nonsense Derry boys Jetplane Landing did a couple of years ago with "Why Do They Never Play Les Savy Fav on the Radio?". It was a reasonable question. A little more give on their part and we’d probably be talking MTV takeovers and themed weekends on Radio 1--for a band that started out blunt and unforgiving, influenced by the unrelenting hardcore of Fugazi, they’ve evolved a silver lining and return from an extended hiatus with Let’s Stay Friends, their most accessible work yet. Expanding an eclectic bent that crept in over the years but not dropping an inch on delivery, "The Year Before the Year 2000" and "The Equestrian" keep up appearances, recalling Husker Du and Quicksand, while "What Would Wolves Do?" is an unexpected mix of The Strokes’ discipline and Mercury Rev’s strained psychedelia, and "Brace Yourself" is a curious mid-air embrace between The Specials and My Bloody Valentine. There’s a raised plot somewhere between Fall Out Boy and Foo Fighters with their name on it, if they want it. But that would probably seem too much like a permanent residence and that’s not their style.--James Berry

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the year?, 30 Oct 2007
By M. J. Pucci "Big Riff" (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Let's Stay Friends is the fourth album from art-school graduates and punk-rock pioneers Les Savy Fav - a four-piece fronted by the inimitable and insanely brilliant (or brilliantly insane) Tim Harrington. I totally fell in love with these guys when I chanced upon their 2001 release, Go Forth, and this is a record that you just want to hug. The guitar sound is, as always, utterly electrifying and highly emotive, while Harrington's lyrics strike the perfect balance between bonkers and brainy: even if you haven't got a clue what he's on about, you know what he means. "Has your skin grown thick? From bands that make you sick?" he asks, on opener, 'Pots & Pans'. "Have you been made dense? By polish and pretense?" Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the anti-Avenged Sevenfold.

The best thing about this album, however - as previous reviewers have mentioned - is that where on previous releases, LSF created a heck of a great noise with their frenetic art-punk assault, Let's Stay Friends contains some genuinely fantastic songs too. 'The Year Before the Year 2000', 'Patty Lee' and 'Scotchgard the Credit Card' are cases in point; funny, moving and brilliantly crafted, while 'Comes & Goes' is possibly the greatest song about relationships ever written, and poignantly so. Let's Stay Friends was recorded with aid of various friends and contributors and this, for me, is easily the band's finest hour.

Pure genius.

Matt Pucci

5.0 out of 5 stars Despite..., 27 Jan 2008
By J. R. Moody "jackanory1979" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...the bizarrely incorrect tracklisting supplied by Amazon here, there is nothing that should put you off of this album. It does nothing new really, it just does it fantastically well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just fantastic, 14 Nov 2008
Exactly how its supposed to be done. Spiky, fast, slow, energetic, fun, intelligent US post punk....If your faith in music has been flagging, give this a go.
