1998, Stereophonics first hit the studio to work on their first album, Word Gets Around. Now, just over 10 years on, they are still topping the album charts, and finally they release all the singles onto one album. A Decade In The Sun is not just a collection of songs on a cd, it is a journey through the lives of stereophonics since 1998. From first ever single Local Boy In The Photograph, to brand new track Your My Star, everything about this album apitimises the stereophonics spirit.
All of the 20 tracks from this album mean something to you, like these boys from the valleys are speaking to you. Kelly Jones just seems to have that nack of touching everyone of his listeners. Amazingly, Kelly and his band have only notched up a solitary number one in their years in the business. Dakota. This opens the album and sets the tone for the rest, songs like bartender and the thief and just looking take you back to the good old days when bands were much more original and care free. Whilst songs from every album feature on this compilation.
Yes, stereophonics may not to be everyone's taste, but i defy anyone to listen to this album and say that they hate it. I would bet my money that they would be lying. Stereophonics are multi-dimensional and aren't just fixated into one genre, they cover a much broader spectrum. The harder early stuff moulds into the more mainstream newer singles, much the same way as feeder have done.
Stereophonics' greatest hits album was always only going to be a matter of time and now it has arrived it certainly has not disappointed. A decade in the sun so far, another decade could mean that sun shines even brighter.
