Editorial Reviews
2012 sophomore album from the British rockers. By the time they reached Rockfield, the legendary residential studio in Wales, the band were primed to road-test the new material, playing a handful of US dates in a break from the album sessions. A performance at the Bonnaroo festival went on to shape the album's character. "The new songs went down so well there we decided to incorporate some of the mistakes and mishaps into the studio versions," says Marsden. "We had Ian [Davenport, returning producer] jumping on top of our Fender amps to recreate one bit where the reverb was crackling and making weird noises. All the gear still had the dust and mud on it from the festival, so the dirt was there: a bit of filth from the road that made it onto the record."

Being a huge fan of their debut album Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, I have been eagerly anticipating this release and I can happily say I'm pretty keen on it. It's a little more on the softer side than the first album, so my only gripe would be that I found myself from time to time missing that harder bluesy southern edginess that got me hooked initially. But every band has to keep moving forward, it feels like a logical progression and after a few plays I'm equally addicted to it.
I've seen them in Williamsburg (w/ Whigs and 22-20s) and they were f'n epic, going to see them in Boston next month and expect to be blown away again. Grab this album, you won't regret it, and don't miss these guys live if you get the chance.
UPDATE: Just saw them last night, they crushed it, played so many songs and sounded great.

After such an amazing debut album it would have been easy to do Baby Darling Doll Face Honey partII. Instead, in Sweet Sour we witness the brilliant evolution of an amazing band. This is what rock 'n' roll was meant to be.

Best album of the year so far, ingredients: little bit of Jack White / Smashing Pumkins / Led Zeppelin / Beatles - fresh new sounds, strong brew, great guitar-sound.

good 2nd album
I really love BOS. Saw them live recently and they were awesome. This album is good - not as good as the first. I have my favorite songs and listen to them all the time.

Different sound than the first album
All the songs are slow, and kind of dreary. I own the first Band of Skulls album and it has 3 or 4 songs that are pretty good. Read more

Band Of Skulls
A lot more calm than the first album was but this is an extremely well made album from start to finish. I enjoy what both vocalists bring to the table. Read more

Dirty rock fun
Don't expect much else from gritty rock riffs and the lyrical hooks. You should have fun if you like rock and roll. I'm pleased with it.

Awesome band
Awesome band. Saw live, great music to drive to and to share with friends or at a party. Put on your headphones and kick back with this group.

My new favorite band
So the title song Sweet Sour is on the current radio rotation on a number of stations and it was enough for me to look into the band. Read more

Real rock and roll
If you like real music made by real musicians buy this CD. They're a great band and pirating this CD doesn't do them justice. Read more

More sour than sweet...
I was truly looking forward to this next release for 'Band of Skulls'! However, their second effort falls a bit flat of the first CD. Read more
