4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Back!, May 25, 2004

This review is from: Born Innocent (Audio CD)

Not that they've been away, but it seems a lifetime since the two time pop sensation I'm Gonna Be stirred my spirit. Sure there's been a couple of discs inbetween but nothing seems to stick quite like the undeniably catchy Hate My Love. In fact their are several tracks that keep me pushing replay. When Charlie cries out "You meant it then..." behind Craig I want to run down the street kissing everyone. This album is a gem amidst the slew of corporate muck that we are inundated with during the first half of the year. Not content being a nostalgic act, they write of mid-life woes and joys yet manage to make it sway. I'm grateful they're grateful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid international live album with a gripping title track, March 18, 2004

This review is from: Born Innocent (Audio CD)

Born in Scotland and raised on Rock & Roll, The Proclaimers are far from strangers to the international music community. The band centers around twin brothers Craig & Charlie Reed, highlighting their forceful vocal harmonies with acoustic guitar and accordion and drawing influence form traditional melodies. They shout and wail from the bottoms of their souls, vocals intertwining with their intimate connection to the audience. "Born Innocent" is the product of extensively touring Europe in 2003, capturing the Reed's charged live and shows; in London in April and May, and the Glasgow Carling Academy in October. Currently on another international tour, they will be promoting the album in the U.S. and Canada in March and April of 2004. The Proclaimers are known to the first generation of MTV followers as the brothers who wrote "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" in 1987. Brett Lemke

This review is from: Born Innocent (Audio CD)

The Proclaimers fifth cd "Born Innocent" continues to showcase their strong brand of Scottish folk and roll music. The highlights being "Born Innocent", "Should Have Been Loved", "Blood On Your Hands", "He's Just Like Me", "Role Model" and "Dear Deidre". The brothers are at their best on those songs because they make a great mix of folk and uptempo rock music with sometimes insightful and humorous lyrical observations on relationships, politics and religion. The rest of the disc is serviceable, but "Born Innocent" does not surpass previous successes like 1988's "Sunshine On Leith" and 2001's "Persevere". Proclaimers fans should enjoy this one.
