4.0 out of 5 stars Cracker Borrell, August 9, 2006

This review is from: Razorlight (Audio CD)

When Pete Doherty punched Johnny Borrell at a UK music festival last summer, suggestions were made that it was the former Libertine's most coherent action of the whole year. Putting himself on a par with John Lennon and Bono at Live8 and formerly suggesting Razorlight's debut was a darn sight better than the cobblers Bob Dylan managed on his first album, frontman Borrell has a knack for rubbing people up the wrong way with his cocksure assessments of his ability. But what if the little bugger's actually right? With this eponymous sophomore album, signs are good that maybe Razorlight have a little more to them than a bigmouthed frontman.
Cunningly, debut Razorlight album Up All Night has naturally been followed by new single In The Morning, a humble tune that unsteadily wanders back home in a post-party haze while humming tunes by The Zutons and The Coral. `Last night was so much fun and now your sheets are dirty,' Johnny mutters during this track, before reprising the rationale on Kirby's House with the lyric `in the morning, you know we won't remember a thing'. A different rendition to the Kirby's House version which appeared on last year's Help: A Day In The Life album, the 2006 model is stripped back and subdued yet still one of the finer points of this CD. Elsewhere, America has an Elton John style flair for arrangement and the tremendous Los Angeles Waltz ends this eponymous release on a high.
Johnny's claim that his band is better than both The Kooks and Arctic Monkeys may seem borderline sacrilege in the current music climate, but with a retrospective eye cast over 2006, Razorlight's latest album may well have the last laugh.

2.0 out of 5 stars You need to look up the definition of eponymous before you use it., August 15, 2006

This review is from: Razorlight (Audio CD)

Eponymous doesn't describe this album, the band, the title, anything related to this album. Why the other reviewer decided to use that word, twice for that matter, is beyond logic. In any case though, this album sucks. It sounds like radio pop, this band completely sold out. And the lead singer, while he might be a pompous, egotistical maniac, is no where close to Lennon or Bono. Give me a break. Either the previous reviewer couldn't be honest with the audience, or he doens't know what he's talking about. If you want a rock album, stay away from this one.
