Product Description

CD Description

The Music return with 'Strength In Numbers', an album that follows up 2004's 'Welcome To The North' perfectly. A combination of dance music and bluesy rock is The Music's distinctive sound, with uplifting lyrics belting out over big riffs and bigger beats. The title track is the first single to be lifted from the record and epitomises the band's ethic of music that deserves to be turned up and played to packed dancefloors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic album. Rocking, thumping and impressive., 18 Jun 2008

By	S. Goodwin (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is fantastic and will not disappoint existing fans and should win plenty of new ones. All the tracks have that trademark dance rock sound that makes The Music stand out from the rest of the indie scene.

* Please note that this version DOES contain two bonus tracks, 'The Price' and 'The Rain', but NOT 'No Danger', that is only available on the standard edition.
Also, the booklet DOES NOT contain track lyrics, just 4 art cards and one page of album credits. The lyrics can be found in the standard edition. *

5.0 out of 5 stars Been worth the wait , 17 Jun 2008

By	Vin_21 (London, UK) - See all my reviews

Got this CD yesterday and I have to say this album for me is the best i've heard so far this year. I've been a fan of The Music since I heard 'Take the long road and walk it' back in 2002 and immediately purchased their debut which I found to a top record.
It's been four years since the last album was released and it has been well worth the wait. The overall feel of the album is that it has a more dance orientated feel to it then the previous two albums, though the indie sound is still there. All the tracks are amazing, though the stand out one's are strength in numbers, the spike, the left side, get through it, vision, the last one and cold blooded. I hope this album will do well cos the band really deserve it on this effort, the last album was under recognised which was a disappointment. Buy this album because you will not be disappointed at all. Five stars for sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly great.., 12 Jun 2008

By	El Reviewer "L.R." (MK - UK) - See all my reviews

I've had a good old listen to this album today, fortunate enough as I am to have access to a promo as a result of having a discussion about downloading albums with a preview to buying them if they're actually worthwhile..

So what can I say, its a nice album with some great numbers; good rhythms, smooth melodies, catchy hooks and establish riffs. Anyone who knows them will appreciate they go beyond just indie rock or indie pop dappling their style with an additional touch of electronica to their sounds. A seemless blend that comes across pretty accompished.

There's a couple of tracks I couldnt get on with, oddly the headline song "Strength in Numbers" which is unusual in as much as I've never knowingly disliked the first song on an album before. But as soon as you get past that the next 6 songs (particularly Vision, The Last One and No Weapon Sharper than Will) are all 5 stars and while I initially felt down about it (because actually I wanted to like it.. despite protests from the person that lent me the CD that I had personal reasons for NOT wanting to ;)) I ended up finding it all very satisfying.

I have to add that although you can hear the taint of the north in the accents (I mean that in a good way) they don't find it necessary to belt it out like some sort of badge ala Arctic Monkeys. Its refreshing for an artist(s) not to have to over do the "this is where I come from you can hear it in the way I sing" bit thats all getting a bit cliched already.

In the end although perhaps not ground breaking, there's a lot of sounds that remind me of bands from the Stone Roses and New Order to the Blue Tones and U2, I think a purchase of the album is more than merited on the strength of the sound, and the album will provide continued entertainment for years to come.

(3rd run through the album and it really grows on you).
