You should give Villagers a listen. Part of the comparison comes from the awful results of the Choice Music Awards 2011; Irish album of the year, where Two Door Cinema Club (A band from Northern Ireland, under British law) defeated Villagers.

I'd love to hear your opinions on the album, you should give it a listen. =)
As an Irish man myself, it brings me more joy presenting Villagers as an example of the talent we have here.

Cool. It's on my list when I get a spare hour (which won't be in March FFS).



And I'm not even going to bother talking about British politics & whatnot. I'll let our Irish staffer Dave do all that.

Yeah, I think April is my relax time, then when May hits I have exams and all sorts of albums to listen to. =/

My relax time is definitely not this weekend. I'm planning 2 reviews & a long'ish blog. Arghhhh.

I should probably write a review...but I don't know what to review. =/

Stephen, go to the Contributors thread in the forums, have a look at the new releases calendar over the next couple of weeks & pick something indie'ish. Or something that's been missed over the past fortnight.

Thanks for the advice DaveyBoy. =)

Has a nice ring to it, no?

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah, but I'm not sure it's an entirely positive ring.

I just don't like the guitar and the singer's voice. =/
