5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery Jets - Twenty One, 10 Jun 2008
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
I rushed out to buy this album after hearing and loving the excellent single "Two Doors Down" and the rest of the album is equally brilliant. With a real 80's sound, reminiscent of groups like The Police, Talking Heads and Ah-Ha this album is very listenable, likeable and extremely fun. I can't wait to see these guys at Glastonbury in a few weeks! Highly recommended and easily one of the best albums of 2008 so far.

Stand out tracks - Two Doors Down, MJ and Young Love.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Effort, 3 April 2008
They've tightened their sound and Blaine's voice has never sounded better - leading the band into wildly catchy tunes, feeling more like a complete album then their previous. Fans of their first will find this second effort greatly welcomed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Moments of genius, 15 Jun 2008
By IWFIcon - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
The Cure, Tears For Fears, The Cars, Duran Duran...if there's one thing this album is guaranteed to do it's to remind you of the 1980's.

Recent single Two Doors Down was one of those classic divisive pop hits. Some would appreciate it for what it is (a catchy pop hit) whilst others would probably be unable to look past the obvious 80's sound (complete with gratuitous sax solo) that it undoubtedly represents. Those of you who land in the "hate" category for this one might as well steer clear of MJ, which almost transcends into parody.

Lead single, Young Love, was, on the other hand, criminally overlooked by most, but is one of the better songs on the album. Laura Marling pops in to lend a hand and whilst it may be very much one of those "boy meets girl" style songs, it's one of the better examples of that mini-genre. It's got feeling, which is rare in a modern day pop song and, like the other standout tracks on the album such as Half In Love With Elizabeth and Veiled In Grey, it is completely devoid of cliche.

It's not a trick that they can completely keep up for the entire album and towards the end there is a definite lull. It's not to say that the lesser tracks are awful, but they are overshadowed by the brilliance on display elsewhere.

Still, a good album with a handful of excellent tracks is certainly worth the investment in my opinion.
