5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Band, September 1, 2005

By	J. Flores (La Paz, Bolivia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I met the band on Live8 show at London, I was expecting for Pink Floyd performance, and in the meantime, this band showed up, and I really liked it. It is a tough rock but not like other US teenagers bands who really suck. This band is amazing, I decided to buy the album and I found fantastic British rock. This is one of my favourites

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular First Effort, June 27, 2005

By	Richard R. Carlton (Ada, MI United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This version of the first album includes two bonus tracks, Something Else and Get It And Go. Although this is a very expensive import, it is the only place to get the Get It And Go track other than the Up All Night album with the bonus DVD (which is also expensive).

Although known as Johnny Borrell's band, Razorlight lays down an incredible screaming raw wall of sound with a constantly surprising thread of brilliant chords and subtle themes intertwined to make you smile at all the right places. Sometimes it's a new song, sometimes it's a pause or phrase, always it's a brilliant layering of song, lyric, and sound.

These guys formed in 02 and have paid dues on the London scene with all the famous names. It shows in every track. They are more than ready and this album is it. Johnny Borrell is nothing less than spectacular and bandmembers Björn Ågren, Christian Smith-Pancorvo, and Carl Dalemo make it all work. Andy Burrows has now replaced Christian Smith-Pancorvo on drums.

For a great run start the album with In The City/To The Sea/Fall, Fall, Fall - this is one of the best sequential runs ever recorded. Personally I think they sound like Razorlight, but if I was into categorizing everything by the obvious influences I would say this could be Patti Smith forgetting the lyrics to Gloria and then being invaded by the ghost of Lou Reed while being backed all the time by John Cage and Velvet Underground. It certainly isn't Dylan (some reviewers seem to think any significant lyric sounds like dear old Bob).

Everybody justifiably raves about Rock `n' roll Lies/Eyes and Leave Me Alone but this is one of those extremely rare albums that holds together very well with each track becoming part of the cuts before and after. It's almost a shame to talk about any single song when they all fit together so perfectly.

As with most bands these days, there is a plethora of extra and bonus tracks on CD Singles, EPs, Albums, DVDs, Import, Export, Japanese, U.S., U.K. and other versions. Here is a current list of the Razorlight track releases that are not on the regular U.S. CD Album releases:
