Music reviews of Here We Stand
Music Review: Stick with Costello Music.
Rating: 3 Stars
My husband and I are huge fans of The Fratellis from their first record, 'Costello Music'. We had high expectations of romping fun Irish drinking music, and unfortunately on this record the Fratellis seem to be unable to find their real sound. They are kind of all over the place. There are some decent tracks and the album isn't horrible by any means, but I think if this was the first thing I had heard by them I wouldn't be to anxious to hear more.
Description of Here We Stand
THE FRATELLIS "HERE WE STAND"The much anticipated follow-up to The Fratellis debut "Costello Music". Like it's predecessor, "Here We Stand" has a great melodic sense and funny heartfelt lyrics, rounded out with excellent production and ear-grabbing vocals. "Costello Music" has scanned nearly 150,000 units in the US and over one million units in the UK to date. "Costello Music" was also a critical and licensor's favorite in 2007, including most notably an iTunes campaign, among many other placements. Throughout the fi rst album campaign, every time the band came to the US their audience increased dramatically (NYC concert attendance went from Mercury Lounge to Roseland in only 5 months, band was highlight of SXSW and Coachella).
On this album - the first to be released simultaneously worldwide - the band is committed out of the gate to touring the world in support.
In spite--or perhaps because of--being written off by many critics as a commercial pub-rock outfit, Glaswegian band The Fratellis have managed to procure themselves a fairly prodigious fan base. Their catchy songs, gigantic hooks and good-time lyrics have earned the band an army of fans keen to indulge in a bawdy sing-a-long. If the trend-setting press were tough on the band's 2006 debut Costello Music though, The Fratelli's weren't listening. Here We Stand continues pretty much where that album left off, although it could be argued that a lot of the charm of their first album has disappeared. The clanging rock riffs of songs like "Shameless", "Mistress Mabel" and "Acid Jazz Singer" show the band in typically ribald form, while "Tell Me A Lie" and "A Heady Tale" attempt to revive the big-haired rocker spirit of 70s acts like Slade and Status Quo. Infectious as some of this material is, Here We Stand somehow doesn't capture the same cocky joie de vivre that made Costello Music so much fun. At the same time, it's refreshing to hear a band so determined to do their own thing and have a good time--no matter what the critics say.--Danny McKenna
