The Band That Lost Their Golden Touch
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by RazzaLazza

Advantages: Some strong tracks present, excellent drumming throughout
Disadvantages: Half the album is tediously tiresome

Razorlight were formed as a band in 2002 by the singer-songwriter Johnny Borrell - a man who was reportedly a stand-in bassist for The Libertines for a short space of time during their early days before getting signed. Notoriously arrogant, Johnny Borrell is a man who is hated by many as in fact is this second album from the band. When released in July 2006, this self-titled second album was greeted with a mixed reception from the critics; even being ... Read review

Lightweight but Fun
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by Zmugzy

Advantages: Some catchy tunes.
Disadvantages: It could have done without some of the umemorable filler tracks

Razorlight were the kind of band that didn't really move me deeply in any way. In fact the first time I saw them on TV live at Hyde Park as part of Live 8 concert, I thought they were trying too hard with little effect. Then along came the hit single America, which as pop songs go I thought was well constructed and hit all the right notes and punched its weight at the top of the charts. Although hardly original in theme or sentiment, it remains a ... Read review

Quite sharp
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by donf18

Advantages: A real good listen
Disadvantages: none

...I know very little about Razorlight apart from the fact that I am fond of their music, or at least one of their singles. The Album cover is really quite plain and simple but effective none the less, being that is basically just a black and white picture of the four members of the band, with the name Razorlight above the picture. The track listening for the album is as follows: 1. In the Morning 2. Who needs love 3. Hold on 4. America 5. ... Read review

Is this Razorlight's greatest hits possibly?
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by dazmatron616

Advantages: Best track - Who needs love
Disadvantages: Worst track - Pop song 2006

Razorlight are considered pop and indie. Personally I think they are indie and my favourite indie band so far. I think this possibly has the best songs Razorlight have ever done on one album, like a greatest hits album possibly? I wasn't really a huge fan of Razorlight at first. I liked 'Golden touch' and 'Somewhere else' and that was about it. I saw this album in Tesco for £9.97. I had heard it was good from some friends and I had heard their 1st ... Read review

An alright attempt at avoiding the 2nd album blues
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by Rob_morgan

Advantages: In the morning, Before i fall to pieces.
Disadvantages: Pop song 2006, not as good as "up all night"

When Razorlight first burst onto the scene with "up all night" i was truly excited and i waited for this album in the greatest excitement. This album does have alot to offer, however in my opinion lacks the charisma and fun feel of their debut album. Saying this however, there is still some great qualty in here. Track List 1. In the Morning 10/10 A great start to the album, Razorlight at their best. This is one of those great upbeat sing ... Read review

Razorlight have Lost there light
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by lauzdoors

Advantages: One good song,a couple of ok ones
Disadvantages: 10 tracks on the whole album,not one of the most creative albums I have heard

Razorlights second album released back in 2006. To be honest I was excited and really looking forward to buying this album all those many moons ago,but when I finally got my hands on a copy I was sorely disappointed to say the least. The whole album just felt and sounded weak, and really commercial. In my opion they sold out with this album,they lost that individual and unique sound that made them just that bit different and enjoyable to listen ... Read review

Razorlight's second album hits all the right notes
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by RiccardoFontez

Advantages: --
Disadvantages: --

...the album as a whole. Razorlight have made a mainstream album ,whilst keeping true to themselves and crafting some wonderful songs that will be played for years to come. this collection is one that will stand the test of time. They peak on the closing track 'Los Angeles Waltz', which is definately their best song to date, a five-minute dive into a doomed romance with LA as the backdrop. the future looks very bright for razorlight, and if they can ...

Very good album from the Razors
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by antonio79

Advantages: Excelleny pop/rock tunes, well choreographed
Disadvantages: A couple of songs verging on medium/heavy rock but that may be your type of thing!

More mainstream and radio friendly? Yes, but not in a bad way. Admittedly, the songs here are less spiky and urgent than those on Up All Night, but what they lose in vigour, they more than make up for with the sheer quality of the tunes on show here. Each song on the album is of high quality and I would recommend it to anyone. I know that some people have complained about the relatively short length of this album, however, sometimes exactly what ... Read review

Great Album-Buy it
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by les_2g2

Advantages: 9 great tracks out of 10
Disadvantages: Pop Song 2006 is quite difficult to get into

...the rest and since then Razorlight are my favourite Rock/Indie band. This album would be perfect if the Pop song 2006 was either taken off or changed to another song because it is quite hard to get into and doesn't seem to make me want to listen to it. this is quite dissapoiting because the album would be amazing otherwise. Overall well worth buying and am looking forward to future albums. ... Read review

Very Surprised
Review of Razorlight - Razorlight by will.atkins

Advantages: easy listening
Disadvantages: not my usual thing

At first I was very reluctunt to buy this CD, because it isn't my usual taste of music but I am glad that I did buy it, because it is such a good album. I only bought it because I saw an advert on tv for it, and there was a couple of songs that I liked on it, but as soon as I put the CD into my player, I didn't stop listening and singing away it is so easy to listen to whatever mood you are in. Eithier it be relaxing reading a book or getting dressed ... Read review
