Well, I put this on, and my brain started trying to think who they sound like. This shows that although this is an album of music, it is neither brilliant, nor to my mind original. Oh did I put Johnathan Richman in that list in the title. This disappointed me as I had heard and read good reviews of both the band and the album. But, frankly although it is listenable, I have got it on now, it is not outstanding nor does it scream at you. From about 2004 there seems to have been a trend for "new" bands to try to sound like something that has gone before, and if that was the intention of Razorlight with this album, then they hit the spot. Yes, give it a listen, then you will probably forget it in a wee while.
