Very accessible June 24, 2010 Bumblesquat (Cornwall) I enjoyed this album, it is fairly commercial so a lot of the tunes caught my ear.
one or two stand out tracks May 15, 2010 Cathy Linton An okish album but purchased on the strength of one or two excellent tracks (you over did it doll) the rest of it is pretty mediocre. Would ave been better off just downloading the singles I liked in all honesty.
the musical arrangements are a definite improvement on their last album but the lyrics are pretty weak. definitely not living up to their self proclaimed "going to be bigger than oasis" hype!
A worthy second album May 13, 2010 Philhydro (UK) Better than their first long player, the Courteeners have come up trumps with Falcon. The somewhat bitty first album of St Jude has progressed into this second outing and things have changed for the better. Catchier songs and maturity in Liam Fray's song writing ability can be heard. One of my favourite albums of the year so far. Enjoy!
Brilliant! May 1, 2010 Jasmine A. Khan It was bought as a present for a mate and he loved it, as did his wife and two teenage children. Apparently a family favourite!
Great stuff, not The Smiths/Libertines April 24, 2010 'mon the pars (Glasgow, Scotland) Great album - as mentioned by a lot of people, musically comparable to later Doves/earlier Elbow (the gravelly voice of the singer is a joy), lyrically resembling the 1st 2 Arctic Monkeys albums (listen to the chorus of "The Opener" - genius). 1st album St Jude is great admittedly and - if you enjoy plinky plonky Smiths/Libertines (albeit more skilfully played than Messrs Barat and Docherty) guitar work - choose that. However, if your after more of the thick, layered, driving guitars on St Jude single "Not Nineteen Forever", buy this - it wont disappoint.
