the lot apparently !), sorry, but that doesn&#8217;t cut any  mustard with me, tis all about the finished product. <\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">which, in this case, is a bloody noisy  indiepunkrock album that never once dips into the world of sensitivity, no  concessions to synths and electro, no jittery drum patterns, just straight for  the jugular rock-n-roll.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">of course, there are some days that this is a damn  fine thing. i mean, who needs fucking a bryan adams ballad in the middle of a  bad mood day &#8211; thankfully there aren&#8217;t any concessions to the softer side across  these 11 hyperventilating rock tracks. the album kicks off with recent single,  &#8216;<EM>diet pills and magazine&#8217; <\/EM>that has a real energy behind it with the  band making us very aware that they have been listening to killing joke,  post-punk and all manner of bass filled monsters in recent years. the central  factor of the <EM>&#8216;this is the shit so get used to it&#8217;<\/EM> makes this a firm  favourite for student indie discos for years to come, despite the fact that  it&#8217;ll never be played on the radio.&nbsp;good.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">the urgent noise&nbsp;of the opening 4 minutes will  define whether or not this is an album for you. if you think the song is a  fantastic example of how bass, guitars and primal drums can increase your levels  of adrenalin then the next 40 minutes are going to be a major attraction for  you, if on the other hand, you find the one dimensional aspect of the production  and simplistic nature of the in-yer-face lyrics are a little too close to those  that have trodden on this path before, then this album will just make you recoil  in horror. <\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">me personally, i love it. the melodies are  forthright, the bass lines drive the woofers into submission, there is a huge  chunk of&nbsp;old fashioned indie rock style, oh, and the guitars hurt.  highlights are many, from the 1977 punked up style of <EM>&#8216;out on a wire&#8217;<\/EM>,  the chorus to the central nervous system of &#8216;long time coming&#8217;, to the seriously  over the top nature of album closer <EM>&#8216;mass hypnosis&#8217;<\/EM>.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">so, if you think the new  <STRONG>razorlight<\/STRONG> album is for your softy parents, and you want to  have an album that&#8217;s going to piss em off as well as prove to the neighbours  you&#8217;re in a bad bad mood,&nbsp;then rush down to your local compact disc  emporium and place your hard earned on this social misfit.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/FONT>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">more detail : <A href=\"http:\/\/www.humanzi.com\">here<\/A><\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/FONT>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/FONT>&nbsp;<\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
