Language Sex Violence Other - Stereophonics

'Language Sex Violence Other' is the latest album released for the critically acclaimed Stereophonics. It's no secret that I am a massive fan, and I shall attempt to persuade you non-believers into realising the sheer genius of Kelly Jones et al. Just one snatched chord of Dakota had me rushing onto Play.com in a frenzied excitement, pre-ordering my copy, arriving on my door mat three days before its recent release. The album cover is the first ...
...shiny black with silver text, as I have the limited edition version. Removing the cover instantly tells you of the importance of protecting this baby, the cover is a gorgeous array of colours, racing down in an horizontal stripe, begging to be opened and played for hours. The limited edition comes with two CDs, the first is the actual album. Jam packed with eleven amazing tracks, this album's not to be sniffed at. It's not often that I put on a new ...

Review of Language Sex Violence Other - Stereophonics

The Stereophonics seem to have evolved into one of those bands that people either love or hate. In the early days of Word Gets Around they seemed to be a decent Indie rock band that were going places fast. The second album seemed to be in the same vein as the first and things were really looking up. It was then that they released J E E P the long awaited third album that totally changed the bands direction and focus, but not in a good way. With the ...
..."You Gotta GO There To Come Back", which saw them start to become the band they were in the beginning. For this the fifth studio album from the Phonics they've merged the new direction from the last album with the simplistic rock approach of the debut album. Over the years it has been well noted that front man Kelly Jones has felt the critics haven't been entirely fair to him or his band. It seems from this album that he's actually taken on board ...

Review of Language Sex Violence Other - Stereophonics

I don't like Stereophonics. No seriously- I really don't like Stereophonics. Totally. With a passion. Unrelentingly. I DO NOT LIKE STEREOPHONICS. Okay I admit they have managed to come up with two decent songs. The fast one- "A Thousand Bartenders Pick A Part Of A Tramps Vest" I think it was called. And the slow one- "Hurry Up And Just Look At The Traffic"- or something like that. But really, come on- 8 years, 4 albums, 49 songs, but only 2 tunes. ...
...there's Kelly Jones. A man whose voice is only beaten on the annoyance scale by his constant whinging and sense of injustice. "Mr. Writer why don't you tell it like it really is?" Kelly, I've news for you- they were sugar-coating it my friend. If they'd told it completely how it really is you'd have slit your wrists long since (Oi- which sick f**ker just said "Damn those benevolent hacks"? That's really not very nice. He's somebody's son!) So from ...

Review of Language Sex Violence Other - Stereophonics

Well, i dont know about the rest of you who like the phonics, but i think they are getting back to their best stuff. I have all four albums, Word Gets Around obviously the best, with Performance and Cocktails a close 2nd, but what happened after that i dont know. Dont get me wrong, JEEP and You Gotta Go There To Come Back are good albums, but i think it was a huge change. Thank god for this album. Good lyrics, fast pace, rock on! The cover is very ...
...album. The best song has to be Devil followed closely by Dakota. When Dakota was released i new straight away the album would be great. I could sound a bit biased being welsh myself, but the phonics have to be one of the best bands in Britain. If you want good music i would suggest buy this album. I have listened to it many a time before going out on the town and it has really got me in the mood. P.S. This is for the people who want a bit more ...

Review of Language Sex Violence Other - Stereophonics

The Stereophonics return with their 5th album and what a cracker it is. The album seems to be the natural progreesion that should have been the 3rd or 4th album, with the raw rockniness back from the first two albums with better, more mature, thought provoking lyrics(well some at least). Particular highlights on the album are Superman, Doorman(Kelly really doesnt like people abusiong their power), Devil (easily the best track on the album, and maybe ...
...a good track, if you like this then the album offers more of the same new rockiness but also has a variety of songs which differ from Dakota. Not too sure about the last track Feel, think this is one of the few weak links the album has. However as the album is only 11 tracks long, this seems to have removed the potential for just sticking in average tracks although the album does leave you wanting more. Deadhead(track 10) must be a song written in ...

Review of Language Sex Violence Other - Stereophonics

StereoPhonics 5th highly anticipated debut album has proven to be well worth the wait! As soon as "Language Sex Violence Other" hit the shelves in May 2005, they were being taken straight back off the shelf! "Language, Sex, Violence, Other" features eleven fast and slow paces rock songs. The songs which are on "LSVO" are: 1) Superman - The Stereophonics released this song however it got to number 13 in the singles charts. This is a very slow paced ...
...not be released by the Stereophonics. This song is a very fast paced rock song which is guarenteed to make your head banging in tune with the beat! 3) Brother - Not Released! This is a slow song for the Stereophonics yet again, I do dislike this song, espicialy when compared to the other songs included on this spine chilling album. 4) Devil - Released! Made it to number eleven in the singles chart! There best rock song known to mankind has to be ...

...amazing and have become anthems. I went to see the stereophonics live on the Language Sex Violence Other tour and they were amazing, i would recomend everyone to see them live. Over all this album is great to listen to but may be lacking something that their other albums have. ...

Review of Language Sex Violence Other - Stereophonics

This album is the first album i have bought by the Stereophonics, my brothers have there others, but it isnt until recently that i have started listening to them. I mean they didnt completely fit into what i listen to, for those who are into completely different music it is strange but for those into this music it is brilliant as for those who are in the middle like me, at first i couldnt decide whether i wanted the album or not then i got it. I ...
...the songs that didnt sound too good at the start without actually listening to them all the way through, then you usually find the ones you skipped are the best ones. Well, after all that i started to enjoy this Cd and now i am just about singing along, it is different to what i am used to hearing dont get me wrong but there is a complete mix of everything in there, and i personally am glad i bought it i have fallen in love with some songs, and when ...
