Product Description
From Amazon.com
Leeds, England’s much-touted the Music signal their intentions with the opening track of their debut. "The Dance"’s swirling psych-rock intro, Beatle-esque "yeah yeah yeah," crashing guitars, and dub effects, topped by Robert Harvey’s vocals, tell one and all that this bunch is not about subtlety. The Music gives a sideways nod to the Stone Roses' Second Coming, but it is mainly a wild mix of Led Zeppelin blues metal and the stadium end of 1980s alt-rock. The lyrics are little more than excuses for Harvey to howl and wail, but the constant twin-guitar work of Harvey and Adam Nutter keep you enthralled by its sheer recklessness. It's a breath of fresh air to hear a British indie band that’s unafraid to rock. --Garry Mulholland

Solid throughout,

May I just say that I have been a fan of this sound for years? I love the riff-heavy, atmospheric, near-chaotic sound that bands like Oasis and The Verve offered up.I first heard of the Music on an edition of "You Hear It First" on MTV. They played a few seconds of the video of "Take The Long Road And Walk It", and I was immediately hooked. Next, I looked up the Music's album on Amazon, and listened to the first five track samples. That sealed it. I wanted the album. It hasn't left strayed far from my CD player since I bought it. I can't say that I dislike any song, though at times, I must admit that the sheer loudness of some parts can get to me. The only thing that might stop this band from doing huge things is that their sound is slightly limited. They seemingly are unable to keep the tempo slow for very long. A few songs have started as slower ballads, but at some point, have sped up. Perhaps the band feels out of place doing slower songs. Also, the lyrics are less than Shakespearean (I won't go so far as the Editor and say that they were little more than an excuse for the lead singer to wail, but they aren't exactly poetry!) However, the singer, Robert Harvey is such a talented frontman, that his exploitation of his vocal chords make the words seem like nothing less than profound. Drummer Phil Jordan, Bassist Stuart Coleman, and guitarist Adam Nutter (an unfortunate name if you use it like the Brits do) couldn't play any less efficiently and consistently than if they were computer music software. And Jim Abbiss does flawlessly on the production. I definitely recommend the album. It's really good rock music, and these guys have the potential to be a legendary, and long-lasting band. If they could add some variety into the mix, I believe that nothing could stop them.

I bought this cd after hearing "Take the long road and walk it" it took me a while to get into it, but when i finally did i loved it! i saw The Music at lollapalooza this year and they are even better live. They are a breath of fresh air, it is great to see something different. I definitely reccomend this cd.
