Product Description

Valhalla Dancehall is the band's fourth album proper, following the Mercury-nominated Do You Like Rock Music? in 2008 and the Man Of Aran soundtrack in 2009. With its title, Valhalla Dancehall invokes a wild-eyed internationalism, alluding to both the Norse mythos and Jamaican discos to the Viking heaven and Caribbean goodtimes. BSP are maybe unlikely to be taking up residence in downtown Kingston, but the album title and the music it comes with are antidotes to limited horizons and parochial mindsets.

British Sea Power - Rule the waves

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2011

What is it about some albums that you like them but never quite grow to love them? British Sea Power's Mercury nominated "Do you like rock music" (2008) is clearly massively regarded by Amazon reviewers and with tracks like "Waving flags" its hard not to be impressed by the epic grandeur of it all. Yet as an album it has been a relative stranger to the turntable in this dez rez over the past two years. As such approaching "Valhalla Dancehall" the new album by the impressive Brighton indie rock band generated mixed feelings, not least with what is pretty rotten artwork adorning the cover. After listening to the album on repeat some of these doubts are still there, although this is an album which will undoubtedly grow with repeated listens and it has those sure tell tale signs that suggest it could be a real "stayer".

Certainly "Valhalla Dancehall" is a nice blend of anthems which deserve a rather large stadium to be fully appreciated combined with pop songs like "Georgie Ray" which owe some debt to David Bowie and actually nod a wink to Coldplay. It all starts splendidly with the huge rocker "Whose in control" which deserves a massive sprawling crowd in a gigantic summer festival to chant along to its infectious chorus, huge riffs and overpowering guitar work. It will literally knock the plastic pineapple off the top of the television and bring crashing down the ducks off the wall; it deserves to be a huge hit and will grow to be loved by discerning rock fans. Another song falling into this category is the brilliant pop orientated "Observe the skies" which will click the "repeat" button in your brain and have you singing it on loop within your head. Other fine moments include the gentle bubbling single "Living is so easy" which suggests a small echo of the Cure, while "Mongk II" is a massive gothic beast sung in tunnel like tones with echoes of Manchester's finest Joy Division.

All these show the band in fine form and prove that on there day they have few peers in the wonderful isles of Britain. Where however things go slightly awry is on the never ending "One more now" whose dreary 11 minutes doesn't fit the albums sequence or mood. Similarly "Stunde Null" could soundtrack one of those awful vampire movies that are so popular at the moment and sounds like My Chemical Romance with a banging hangover. Much much better is "Cleaning out the rooms" a gorgeous synth heavy ballad that reeks atmosphere and has an eerie doomed romanticism about it and this is reinforced by "Baby" which floats beautifully across its near six minute duration, weaving warm lines and a Pink Floyd "Wish you were here" ambiance.

Overall this is a very accessible and well constructed rock album from a band who deserve greater recognition and a wider audience. True there are some missteps located on "Valhalla Dancehall" but this can be put down to the bands desire to experiment and cross genres rather than poor songwriting or padding with filler. British Sea Power are an impressive crew and if this is your first purchase of the year you will not regret it.

epic, anthemic guitar rock...

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2011

5th album since 2003 from U.K. band. This is grand, soaring, smooth-but-explosive big-chord,
epic guitar rock with a compelling "raise-your-lighters" emotional appeal. There's a soft, stirring
British melodic structure here that builds with a slow-burning intrepid intensity & anthemic rhythmic
beauty. Shades of Boxer Rebellion, Airborne Toxic Event, Big Country, Pulp, The Domino State.

The best record they've made since The Decline of Britihs Sea Power

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2011

This is definitely the best record they've done since "The Decline of...". While the two records between this are fine, just fine, on Valhalla Dancehall they manage to do everything they're good at over the course of a well paced, thoughtfully arranged record and more. The first record has some songs that just straight-up rage, and so does this one. I felt the production on the last two records (Open Season and Do You Like Rock Music?) dulled the excitement of the music by shaving off the rough bits. While this is definitely no Pussy Galore record, it manages to retain the thrill of the moment without sacrificing anything. A wonderful treat from a wonderful band.

Top band; top album!

Reviews far too harsh; this is excellent stuff! Maybe not the best in their cannon but still a top indie guitar album but one of Britain's most inventive and endearing collectives. Give it a go!

Valhalla Dancehall

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2013

Having only seen BSP on TV and was very impressed. Been thinking about getting a CD to judge if their music was as good as their TV slots. Upon looking at their CD output, was hit by how many they have produced, so which one to start with. They can't all be brillant, so took the plunge with Valhalla after reading the various reviews. If your going to consider buying one of their CD you could do a lot worse, because BSP have some stomping songs on this disc. Temped to give it a 5th star but erred on the side of partiality. Now having the task off which other BSP disc to purchase.

Great album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

Another great album from British Sea Power. Slightly different from previous but not straying too far to alienate long term fans. The opener Who's In Control seems somewhat prescient in view of the various protests both locally (students) and more globally recently. There is the usual mix of more up tempo rocky songs, and more thoughtful soundscape types (mostly from Hamilton). Fans will love it and will gain some new devotees.
