Well it's a Ross Tomlin review so it'll be amazing naturally.

You managed to get your hands on the new Wombats yet?

Album Rating: 2.0

Haha.



Nah, not as yet. I think they pushed the release date back 2 weeks.

Album Rating: 3.5

Def. agree with your top 2 songs, Davey, but I think you give "Come Back" too much credit; the middle section is just dull and adds filler to an album which needs absolutely none of it.



That being said, I don't think you give "Halo" nearly enough credit; I've always enjoyed that one, especially the chorus. It rounds out the top 3 from this album, IMO.



My personal ranking:



All My Life > Times like These > Halo > Low = Have It All > Tired of You > Disenchanted Lullaby > Lonely as You > Overdrive > Come Back > Burn Away



All My Life, Times like These, and Halo - 4/5

Low, Have It All, and Tired of You - 3.5/5

Disenchanted Lullaby, Lonely as You, and Overdrive - 3/5

Come Back - 2.5/5

Burn Away - 2/5



So basically this is a high-end 3 for me - possibly a low-end 3.5.

Album Rating: 3.5

And did you get your hand on Wasting Light yet? It's their best one yet, IMO; yes, that means it's better than TCATS.

Album Rating: 2.0

I don't exactly rave on about 'Come Back'. 'Halo' is ok, but really should have been a lot of better. This album still, to this day, frustrates me. I think it frustrates the band too.

*Almost as good*

Album Rating: 2.0

I've given 'Wasting Light' one listen. I like it, but I can already tell I won't like it as much as 'TC&TS'.

"All My Life, Times like These, and Halo - 4/5
Low, Have It All, and Tired of You - 3.5/5
Disenchanted Lullaby, Lonely as You, and Overdrive - 3/5
Come Back - 2.5/5
Burn Away - 2/5"

This, although I really like Overdrive, I'd swap that and Tired of You.

Album Rating: 2.0

Those ratings give this album way too much credit.

You could probably disregard the other ones apart from my top 3, I'm fairly indifferent to them, those ratings are just relative I guess. Nothing'll ever top Everlong anyway!

Album Rating: 2.0

Probably not. But it's not the highlights which are the issue on this album. It's the rest.

How this won the Grammy for Best Rock Album is bewildering.

Album Rating: 2.0

I gave up on the Grammys a while back... & the Oscars.

I think "Falling Slowly" deserved the best original song Oscar a few years back.

Album Rating: 2.0

I think Tom hanks won an Oscar for one of his least impressive performances.



But I digress... The Fooeys newie is really starting to grow on me.

Album Rating: 2.5

I actually completely agree with the hype for once, I think it's almost as good as TCOTS.

Album Rating: 2.0

It's a great album to blast out loud, that's for sure.

Album Rating: 2.0

Agreed. A 3.5 is very kind.

the s/t, colour and the shape, and wasting light are their only worthwhile albums. the rest are really boring.

Album Rating: 3.0

DONT WANA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE IT ALL
