CD Reviews

Excellent debut album for Brtiains'newest kids on the block!

"What makes an album unforgettable? Well, I guess everyone has a different opinion on that, but for me balance is the main criteria while evaluating an album. Oke, so an album has a couple of nice songs on it, but that makes it legendary? No, an album becomes legendary when ALL songs reach a certain admirable level. This is definitely the case with ESP's Holes in the Wall album. Fans of Muse, The Verve & Mercury Rev should pay attention because this album might just represent the coming out of a band that might just give these bands a run for their money! Can't wait for their follow-up!"

Great sounds, great thoughts.

"I love these guys. They are so wise beyond their years, musically and lyrically. The have a British pop rock sound to them that is so old faishioned, yet so unique, created by creative sound quirks and entertaining loops. Very hip. My faves are "Silent to the Dark", "This Given Line", "Empty at the End", and "Red Balloon For Me". Unfortunately, I don't own this cd, but have downloaded all of the songs. They rock. Some songs do get annoying after awhile, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five."

Worth shelling out the cash...

"A good friend of mine started on about these guys about 3 months ago. I started spreading the word about a week later. They're young, and there's only two of them, and "Something's Got To Give" is just, well, excellent. And so is nearly every other track. This has been firmly entrenched in my Top 5 of 2002 list and looks to make the cut within the top three.
Trust me. Shell out the bucks for the import. If you've found this review, you'll like it. A varied, rocking, sometimes soft, good-for-a-party disc that you can definitely sing along with. In fact, your next party will be that much better with this on the hi-fi. Guaranteed."
