this album is better than the first album in so many ways. The lyrics are deeper and the songs dont feel like filler at all. Every song is face of the band and every face of the band is amazing. I don't think i have ever come across a cd as passionate as this one. You can't write lyrics like that without an experience to match and the experience on this cd is one to be taken! I was blown away by their first album and this album blows the first album away!

There are many bands out n' about today that you almost get lost in counting. However there are very few who are actually worth listening to. The Script hasn't been in the spot light for long and this is just their second album but I think we'll be hearing from these guys more often in the future. After the release of songs like 'Breakeven', 'Live Like Where Dying' (Yup No offense Kris Allen Fans but this song is originally sang but The Script) and 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' from their first debut album, this album comes as a 'pleasant surprise' and with even better lyrics.

1- "For The First Time" : So you think the title suites a love song huh ? Think again, this song is actually about the Economical Depression in Ireland. Which makes it all the better along with the beautiful Lyrics, its one of my personal favorite :) 5/5

2-"You Wont' Feel A Thing" : This song has a catchy intro to it. Though I can't say its one of my favorite on this album but still a good song nether less ! Worth listening to 3.5/5

3- "Nothing" : The Poor guy is going through a breakup trying to forget his love he knows he's better without her but even "a few drinks" can't seem to make him forget her. Beautiful Song, really touching and another personal favorite 5/5

4- "Science & Faith" : The song that the album's titled after. Pretty much a comparison between a Scientist's POV and a Believer's POV and their outlook on Love/Life etc.. A Great Song, really beautiful lyrics and Unique ! Another personal favorite 5/5

5- " If You Ever Come Back" : Suffering the aftermath of a bad breakup, Your Lover just break it off with you and you can't seem to let go ? This song is for you ! It's all about asking forgiveness and wanting another chance and just simply starting over. Once again Beautiful Lyrics, Great Song. One of my personal Favorite ! 5/5

6- " Long Gone And Moved On" : It may have been months or even years but he just can't seem to get over his ex however that's all about to change because today he's finally moving On and leaving the memories behind. Very Well Written, A touching song and kinda sad. One of my personal Favorite 5/5

7- "Dead Man Walking" : Beautiful Song, Beautiful Lyrics ( I told you the lyrics in this album are just Incredible) Once again the Science/Faith theme is implied in here and the result is well quite frankly beautiful ! 4.5/5

8- " Walk Away" : Catchy Song, A little bit different from The other songs in this album. But its quite refreshing, this is the closest it'll ever get to fast-paced songs in this album which is by the standards of modern days R and B, Pop etc.. is slow but if you bought this album then I guess you wouldn't mind that ! 4.5/5

9- "This=Love" : What is Love ? This song tries to explain that. Great Lyrics ! Has kinda of a Slow R n B verse towards the end. Vampire Diaries used this song in one of their episodes. A Personal Favorite 5/5

10- "Exit Wounds" : A Great conclusion ! About letting your wounds out and just relaxing ! Another Good Song 4.5/5

Note: I know that there is a (Deluxe Version) released with extra songs just recently However I didn't review them because I didn't buy the Deluxe Version but that doesn't mean that these are all the songs that this album has to offer.

To Put it in one word this album has been "A-M-A-Z-I-N-G" ! The Lyrics are Beautiful, the songs have meanings to them and the singers are talented ! This is more than I would ask for in an Album, I normally don't Buy an entire album because I rarely like ALL the songs included, However this album has been an exception ! Its just one of those Albums who you can play over and over again and it never gets old and you don't really have to skip to the better songs because all the songs are worth listening to. I personally played it constantly for like a month. So if there was just One album that you could buy in this year I would recommend you pick this album up ! Believe the reviews, what you see is what you get :)

Irish Bands with similar songs I would recommend :

Westlife

If you love amazing music and appreciate great writing - This album is for you!!!!

You really hear how this band has grown as a group. Every inch of the music is superb - drums, keyboards, guitar, violin. Everything is just right! They are " The Script " for a reason. Every single song has depth. Through all the lyrics and singing, you definately get a vivid sense and story telling that no other album has yet to compare. Their music is motivating, uplifting, inspiring, I consider this album to be a very visual album. They describe every inch, every feeling, that they are going through. You will find yourself nodding you head to every song, even the emotional ones! It's definately an art to be able to be that descriptive- Everyone should own this album!!

The Script in Concert - Make sure you go!!! Lucky in the U.S for not having to be around 20,000 screaming girls in Ireland to enjoy their live concert. Their concerts in the U.S is close and personal and they sound absolutely amazing! Also, you get to see Danny's moves!

Nothing - as humans, we can all relate this song - bad break up, going to a bar, drunk dialing, making a fool of yourself. This is a classic love story. This is the song I find myself singing along with more than any song in the album! Sooo catchy!

Science and Faith - this song has thee most meaning of the whole album, no wonder why the album is named after it!

For the First Time - this song reminds me of " we cry " the most from their first album - one word to descibe this song SOULful!!

Dead man walking - I love the vocals from this - raspy, smooth, laid back, a mixture of everything I love.

No surprise that this is a fantastic album. This group continues to amaze me with their talents and they are at the top of my list of favorites. I am retired and live on a limited income, so I don't buy a lot of CDs - but I will always find the money to buy anything The Script publishes. Already looking for ward to their next album. Keep them coming!

It's brilliant!!! some of the most relatable music out there today. Great melodies and hooks, and extremely well written choruses. But above all else, it's just so completely HONEST & truthful! I put this album on when i've had a rough day, and sometimes it can change my mind set by just hitting play. Knowing someone out there is feeling what I'm feeling is a really nice reminder! Sometimes when your just stuck, and feel lost people need music that they can connect to and Science & Faith does just that. This album gives you heartache, loneliness, and hope all in one! If you are looking for real talent, great music, and a reminder that you aren't the only one out there, do yourself a favor and buy this album! Instead of listening to some auto-tuned junk, with a chorus that repeats over and over again, listen to Science & Faith an album that tells a story in just 12 tracks. The Script have summed up some crazy feelings into beautiful music, that I didn't even think could be summed up into words. This album is incredible, and I can't wait to see what's more to come! Well done!

I wish there were more stars to select for this album, because 5 just doesn't cut it. My life revolves around music.. I couldn't name all the albums I've purchased throughout my lifetime if i tried, but I can say without hesitating that this is my all time favorite. I discovered The Script in early 2009 and was blown away by their talent, lyrics, and live performances. I didn't think I could like anything more than their debut album, but I was wrong. Science and Faith is beyond amazing. There is not one weak song on the album, and it's impossible to get sick of them. Many times, I will listen to an album on repeat until i eventually get sick of it. I have been listening to Science and Faith on repeat for over a year now, and I am nowhere near tired of it whatsoever. This will forever be a favorite of mine, and I cannot wait to hear more from them in the future.

BUY THIS ALBUM! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

This CD is great from beginning to end, a great compliment to their first CD which was also amazing. It will not disappoint you, buy it nowwwwww.

EVERY song rocks! Loved their first, but this is even better. I love it when you like all the songs on a CD!

I had heard a couple of their songs from their first album on the radio. Especially liked "Breakeven" and "The Man Who Could Not be Moved". With this second album, I loved the song "Nothing" so much and also thought "For the First Time" was great, so I decided to buy the album and see what else they have to offer. Wow, is it amazing! Danny's soulful singing style and great melodies and lyrics have me putting this CD on constant replay.
If you like the style of the songs that have gotten radio play, you will love this sophmore album! I now love the title track, "If You Ever Come Back", and "Walk Away". I am kicking myself that I did not figure out how great they are before they toured this summer in the states. I am sure their popularity will continue to increase and I won't have the chance to see them in a smaller venue again.
Oh well, they are that great and they deserve all the success they have!!!

I had planned to buy just one or two songs but the whole Album is just to Awesome to choose from, not like other albums. I love this Album it's so worth it :)
