Advantages: It's great music more or less throughout Disadvantages: A couple of weaker moments
Having heard Frank Turner's "The First Three Years", an album which reflected on his first few years work as a solo artist after leaving Million Dead, there was no way I couldn't listen to more of his music. After all, the genre he works in, mainly folk based but with frequent rock twists, was one I enjoy listening to and my first experience with his work proved that he was very adept within that field.
Compilations like that can be a bit patchy due to their nature, so it seemed only fair I judge him not only on that, but also on his studio work. Fortunately, the version of "The First Three Years" I picked up also came packaged with his second studio album, "Love, Ire & Song", so I didn't have to go too far to get a taste of Turner's studio work.

Yes, I like Blue and I'm not ashamed of that fact! This is really sweet and I LOVE it. I don't listen to it that often and when I do, I want to melt! I think Lee has a lovely voice, and Duncan is possibly the most gorgeous guy I have ever set eyes upon. The fact that this song is me and my boyfriend's 'song' does not make me biased, ok?!
Another Blue song. I like this more than You Make Me Wanna. The Blue boys are genuinely talented, I reckon, and they're wasted on some of the songs they sing. I just love this song, it's one of my favourites to mope about to! Very soft and romantic, but I admit, it does get a bit ...
