Product Description
Amazon.ca
Sombre, tourmenté et sans compromis, No Cities Left, quatrième album de la formation anglo-montréalaise The Dears, marque, sinon un tournant, du moins un aboutissement dans l’exigeante démarche de Murray A. Lightburn et de ses acolytes. Sans doute l’un des plus britanniques des groupes canadiens, The Dears, que l’on a souvent comparés à The Smiths, parviennent ici comme jamais auparavant à digérer leurs innombrables influences pour créer une œuvre totalement originale.
Moins facile d’accès que End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story et Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique, No Cities Left est aussi l’album le plus maîtrisé du groupe. La voix caverneuse de l’auteur-compositeur-réalisateur Lightburn est soutenue par force claviers, guitares et cuivres et par des arrangements savamment travaillés qui servent bien sa plume intime et noire. Le groupe affirme ici pleinement son style : une pop-rock à la fois sophistiquée et brute, puissante et romantique, violente et tendre. --Pascale Millot

Lost In The Album,
By A Customer
This review is from: No Cities Left (Audio CD)
"No Cities Left" is a fantastic album for fans of the montreal sound. From the first song to the last, the unique sound keeps you hooked. Who Are You Defenders of the Universe is a hidden gem in the world of music
4.0 out of 5 stars
Enchanting,
By Jason McNab (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Cities Left (Audio CD)
This album is a fantasik find for those interested in romanticism, glory, and Pulp like drama. It is dark yet optimistic like Dada Pogrom and Pilate. I thoroughly enjoy the songs: The Death of all Romance, Never Destroy Us, and Who are you Defenders of the Universe...listen to the clips to see what I mean. I am looking to forward to seeing The Dears live.

Wise Choice,
By A Customer
This review is from: No Cities Left (Audio CD)
I must say that only now have I come across the Smiths comparison. I was quickly reminded of Pulp, Suede and even Flannelmouth in terms of my first impressions of the band. This truly is a wonderful album and I agree with the other reviews that the emotional scope of the album is far reaching. It is also a grower and I like it very much indeed.
