Rock and Roll,
By A Customer
The Stereophonics had a difficult job to follow their previous album, Just Enough Education to Perform. You Gotta Go There To Come Back continues much in the same vein as the previous platter - lots of punchy rock interspersed with ballads. Notable highlights for me are the stonkin' "Madame Helga", which I expect will be used in the action scene of at least one Hollywood Movie, and another great song is the harmonious "Nothing Precious At All". There are interesting arrangements of brass in "Climbing the Wall", and overall I'd have to say that this album has a slightly darker tone than "Just Enough Education to Perform" or "Performance and Cocktails".If you liked the previous albums, then you'll like this. My only complaint is that it doesn't quite match up to "Just Enough Education to Perform", but that's a hard act to follow. To me, the Stereophonics at this point in time are the definitive sound of the current Rock scene, much as the Manic Street Preachers were a few years before. If you're alive, you'll have this in your collection.

Another great album from Stereophonics,
By Glenn Heald - Published on Amazon.com
This album is a must for any one who loves the Stereophonics or any one who likes Oasis, Faces, Black Crowes, Humble Pie or Ocean Colour Scene. Kelly Jones has proven once again that he's the best British songwriter in the traditional rock genre right now, and with this album he's stretched his legs to expand a bit. The guys still rock as hard as ever, and the Faces/Black Crowes/Humble Pie elements are as fresh and original as they are gritty and soulful. The softer, folksy songs are even more beautifully woven than on their previous records. These are songs that are meant to be heard live, and the raw, spontanious feel to the album is a refreshing change from the sterile, over-produced efforts of most cookie-cutter modern rock bands. Help Me, Madame Helga and Jealousy are muscular, riff-driven rockers, while Maybe Tomorrow, Getaway, Climbing The Wall and Nothing Precious At All are beautiful and intelligent tunes showcasing Jones's talent for crafting thoughtful and insightful melodies and lyrics. Unashamed of their influences, Stereophonics draw deeply and frequently from the well of 70's rock, but the results never sound dated, stolen or stale. Theirs is a thoroughly modern take on the genre, and if the first listenings don't draw you in immediately, further spins will give each tune a character and depth you'll appreciate more each time you hear them. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Its New!,
By Matthew Johns - Published on Amazon.com
We all need bands like Stereophonics. While they don't achieve the high successes of Oasis, Radiohead et al, they keep the rock n roll clock ticking, and fans have something to buy in between releases from the big bands.This album is classic, and somewhat new ground for Kelly Jones. The standout track is "I'm Alright", which is in the mould of Massive Attack ,and this shows the maturity and vision of his songwriting. From the bluesy I Miss You Now, to the full out rocking off High As The Ceiling and Madame Helga, the variety is terrific. Have a tissue ready for Since I Told You Its Over as this is the most beautiful song written this year. His growl is at its best, and while JEEP was primarily a completely chill out album, this one is packed with rocked, chilled and reflective music, perfect for any mood you may be in. Although their success isn't exactly massive, I've always rated Stereophonics in my top two bands along with Oasis. In YGGTTCB, the lyrics mach perfectly with the music, and the mood set is flawless. Now Kelly seems on the verge of going solo with the sacking of the drummer Stuart Cable, and I think some of the stuff he could churn out could be massive. Phonics fans beware, you have a CD to buy. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

I bought this album because I liked "Maybe Tommorow",
By G. Rascati - Published on Amazon.com
and that stands as my favorite track on the album.I very much enjoyed the whole "garage" feel to this album, and it's mellow energy... if that makes any sense. I think this album is best if you are relaxing and just looking for good entertaining music. I would buy another Stereophonics CD. Reason I gave it a 4? Because I want to leave room to give a better score for any future stereophonics albums. |
