5.0 out of 5 starsEasily one of the best records I have ever heard
By RC on October 12, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Although I liked the popularly successful songs from James during the 80's and 90's, I never got heavy into the band. I heard one of their older songs on a local indie station recently, and checked it out on YouTube because I wanted to send the video link to someone (because of the lyrics). That led to more link-clicking, checking out their website, and finding out they had a local concert last week. Decided to go.

Turns out my girlfried was a real fan of "Sometimes" when it was hot. We went to the concert, loved everything we heard, and as a result I bought two of the new CD's, one for each of us. Several weeks later, we are still talking about and texting each other snippets from the lyrics, and talking about the band and the CD. I wish I could afford to buy a million and spread them around. Easily one of the top 10 I have ever heard. You must read the lyrics and hear the song previews. The "intro" clips don't do the songs full justice, as each is a musical odyssey, with some widely varying sounds in the same song. Lyrically relevant to everything going on today, and particularly some issues I can relate to in my own life. Musically captivating. Rides the range from thought provoking to exhilerating. Will make you a believer. [...]

At first listen, I "liked" about 5 or 6 of the 11 songs. A few I skipped when playing the entire CD in my car. The more I've listened, the less I've skipped, gaining a new appreciation for the lesser songs on the CD to the point that I now listen to it in its entirety. The entire song list will grow on you, and it is arranged perfectly. While not hugely "deep", the lyrical and musical combination is just right (not too heavy or light) for ease of listening.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Wonderful Return to Form!
By Crumbly on September 18, 2008
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
After being a fan of James early work, my interest started to fade around the time Laid came out in 1993. "Hey Ma" is a great place to rekindle the James fanship. Easily one of their strongest albums, here are some of the songs for which I had to immediately hit "repeat" after my very first listen: "Whiteboy", "72", "Monsters and Heroes", "I Wanna Go Home", "Bubbles", "Waterfall" -- you get the idea: the majority of the songs.

If you're a longtime fan or brand-new to James, this album is an absolute no-brainer: You're gonna like it. This is already one of my favorite "light-hearted" releases of 2008, and I embrace it like an unexpected gift from a dear old friend.

5.0 out of 5 starsWelcome back, guys! Magic does happen in life sometimes...
By CoasterFan on November 23, 2008
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I happened onto James back in the 90's when they were touring the United States and landed at the theatre where I work in Sacramento, California. It's easy to get a bit jaded when live acts come and go frequently when you work in a live venue, but occasionally an act comes along that wakes you up and thrills you. James was one of those bands. I found myself mesmerized by lead singer Tim Booth (especially his passionate, intense voice and wild, free-form dancing) and the sound created by the entire band. Unlike many bands, all of the guys were interesting to watch, and seemed to have very different personalities (you wondered how they ended up in the same band). They filled the 1,000 seat theatre with layers of sound in a way that was almost overwhelming, and I was also impressed that the lyrics were not just typical pop love songs but songs that covered a wide variety of life experiences, and many grabbed me on first listen. It's truly rare that happens when you see a band without knowing anything about them. I'm not a kid, and yet I found myself, as the night wore on, acting like a giddy fan, pushing through the crowd to get closer to the experience, to the point where I was just a couple of rows back in the crowd standing against the stage. I was glued throughout the rest of the show, and found myself whooping, stomping, and dancing as wildly as Tim by show's end, sweating through every layer of clothing I had on. It was exhilarating. I became a huge fan of the group and their recordings, buying everything I could get my hands on, and was not disappointed in the studio versions of their music. However, I hoped to see them again someday live.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsSo *very* James
By Eric Richard on January 28, 2009
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I have been a big fan of James for years and was sad when Tim Booth left the band. I assumed I wouldn't get another James album.

So, when I saw they released Hey Ma, I was intrigued. And by the end of the first track, I knew James was back.

As much as I enjoyed some of their more modern albums like Whiplash, Millionaires, and Pleased to Meet You, this album is a real throw back to some of the original (pre-Laid) James albums like James or Seven.

It has a very "James" sound to it with a strong use of horn/trumpet and several songs that really put Tim Booth's vocals front and center.

Since I got the CD, it has been in constant rotation and I am really coming to enjoy several of the songs. It is a really strong album top-to-bottom with several great songs.

The only reason I didn't give this album 5 stars is because I think that Laid is just on a completely different level of greatness.

Welcome back James. I'm quite happy you've Come Home.

Any James fan will have a smile on his or her face when hearing this album. Despite coming late in their careers, it feels at once classic and fresh.

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best albums, from a fantatic band

Although it took a few listens for me to warm up to it, I now consider Hey Ma to be one of my five favorite albums of all. Long time James fans will not be disappointed.
