I have been waiting for time with great expectations and anticipation to hear Bombay Bicycle Club's album since late 2006 as their Debut ep (boy I used to be) still is fabulous (couldn't stop listening to it for months on end, years now infact) and also had the pleasure of catching them early on in Camden Towns Dublin Castle slightly after, which was earblowing! like Bad is Good innit bruv. No, simply very special and clearly in no rush.BBC are way beyond their years musically and in Jack's emotive lyrical maturity, despite the immature/ageist monotony from the Critocks rather than listening to the music and it's content. (NME guilty again, tell me what's wrong with finishing school Scribbles? Comparison aside, it didn't do Coldplay any harm did it? Oh, you don't like them anymore!!! Well, Island Records have given BBC's a 5 album deal I believe, whatever that means these days. Where are Cajun Dance Party now btw. No idea, shared the same school with loads of hype to boot. NotMeEd, it was him Sir! Too much Twitter you Twats.)I have listened to the Album a handfull of times now and after the second hearing and my preconceptions out the window, I believe it is all and more than I expected. It has a great balance to it and a tremendous uplifting rhythmic vibe mixed with superbly delivered vocals and meloncholy that would appeal to prehistoric men that may not of heard of emotion never mind feeling it. Girls will go weak at the Jangle, but they are turning into men!! Na... Go and buy this, I am 40 next birthday and even I have been getting bored with bigging this band up, they are that good. Contemporary comparisons... The Maccabees full stop. Apart from that, I could say The Smiths, early to mid U2, Bunnymen and maybe Joy Division on a sunny day (scratch that... rains in Manchester!!) Go and get it Ladies and Gents... if your ready to be heartbroken, Cancel on me.
