The Music play their songs full of passion, in maximum overdrive.

No doubt, British pop music is pretty hip at the moment. New bands like Ikara Colt, Desert Hearts, The Coral, and Cooper Temple Clause bring a new exciting sound. After their You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me EP last year, Leeds' The Music are next. Hailed by NME for being the best rock band since Oasis, The Music has something to prove. A difficult task, as their music simply isn't that easy to listen to. Not that The Music isn't about pure Britpop songs laced with groovy rhythms and drowned in psychedelic guitars. What makes The Music special is something else. Something that isn't easy to grasp. Is it Jim Abiss' production that makes the album sound like some kind of primitive live recording? Is it Robert Harvey's voice, making The Music sound like Warrior Soul on acid? Or is it their ability to write brilliant songs? Maybe the latter is the most important. The combination, however, makes The Music sound like Led Zeppelin living in early-nineties Manchester. Like Warrior Soul would sound, if they were from England. The disorderly production by Abiss makes the album sometimes difficult to listen too. But it can't hide the fact that The Music houses some very nice songs. Like up-tempo opener Dance, and the extremely groovy Take The Long Road And Walk It. Best songs, however, are the whipped-up The People and the epic Getaway.
As said, this isn't an easy record. But I like the Abiss production, I like Harvey's voice, I like the way the songs sound littered. I like the way The Music play their songs: full of passion, in maximum overdrive. Great album. Great band.
