5.0 out of 5 stars
Summer classic, January 29, 2004
This review is from: Pass It on (Audio CD)
It's been a good year for Liverpool's The Coral. A mere number of months after their stunning debut comes this, surely one of the singles of the year. "Pass It On" is their state of the universe address, a plaintive plea for understanding. It begins a little like The Beatles' "You Like Me Too Much" but soon becomes its own thing of beauty. Far more low-key than anything on The Coral, they seem to have dispensed that elemental quirkiness which so defined their earlier work. Frontman James Skelly is the real star of this track, his magnificent vocals squarely front and center. Anticipating their forthcoming Magic & Medicine album, "Pass It On" is a summer track for the ages and The Coral have done it again. Was there ever any doubt?
