"As incredibly brilliant as their 5-star debut was, this one is even better. Do yourself a favor and buy EVERYTHING this band has and WILL release! Just an unbelievable band who can write songs as well, if not better, than anyone out there."Nest" is staggering from first song to last. Opening with "Halcyon Days", the CD never lets up, hitting you with a variety of high energy and/or melodic orchestrations as well as lower-key, atmospheric creations. A stunning CD. This band deserves to make it big."

One of Ireland's Best that never really made it !

"The recording quality on Nest, Lir's second album, jumps lightyears from their first time out in Magico Magico. If you like guitar based rock with intricate intertwining twin lead, then this album is for you. Most of the songs were recorded in one take giving the listener an impression of the live sound at which Lir are masters. The album covers from gut wrenching heavy guitar of Railroad, an instrumental rock classic, to the melodious Wicker Man. The first three songs will have you jumping around the room upon first hearing so watch out for low hanging lamp shades ! Sometimes Lir have been criticised for overthoughtful intricate music, but that I like ! And mixed with their Led Zeppelin'ish influence that makes this album a stormer ! This second album will leave you gasping for more, but as of yet there is no more, but watch out, they are still on the go in the local Dublin scene."
