Music : The '59 Sound .
Rating: 
- The spirit of Springsteen lives on.
I bought this following some good reviews in Classic Rock magazine and have not been disappointed. It is an excellent album of the New Jersey/Asbury Park school of rock; well performed with enthusiasm by a fine band.
There are echoes of Springsteen in there circa his early period and extending to the "Born in the USA" time, from which there are musical and lyrical references in one of the songs.
Unlike another reviewer, I actually thought the singer had a fine rock voice and his singing added to these songs.
The songs perhaps don't yet have the subtlety of Springsteen at his peak but the band's energy is infectious, the songs are catchy and well-performed, making this a great album!

- Hyped
I bought this album and their previous after reading some favourable reviews in the music press. Three things:
1. The guy cannot sing - he is off-key the whole time
2. ...which is utterly infuriating as the rest of the band are half decent
3. ...although they are a rather dull imitation of the Gin Blossoms from the early 90s.
I never throw CDs away - these two I binned after several days persevering. His voice is THAT bad.

- 59'Sound?
There are a few outstanding tracks on this album. The rest of the songs are of a good standard, making this an altogether very listenable album. There is really nothing bad to say. I would recomend that you buy it. But that's it. There is nothing groundbreaking or any real sparks of genius here. It's just good time roll n rock. The story telling is good, with extra cheesy lyrics chucked in for good measure. I imagine this disc will stand the test of time, that's always a good thing.
Rating: - Buy It
The best most energetic, album I've heard for years.
been playing this album time after time and after over 100 plus listens it gets better and better.
The '59 Sounds rocks. Don't miss out on this one.
Really looking forward to seeing them live in Manchester in 3 weeks.
Five stars really isn't enough.
As Jon Landau said, 'I've heard the future of Rock and Roll....'

- Good, but but expect great things from the next album
This isn't quite as earthshaking as the hypem, and some of the other reviews would have you believe. It's good, but I feel there is some untapped and unfulfilled talent here that should blossom with the next album if allowed to do so. Along with the obvious Springsteen influences(can you come from New Jersey and NOT be influenced by him?)I liken a lot of the melodic turn of phrase to the late lamented Slobberbone and even some other Southern influences from the likes of the Drive By Truckers and even early REM.
So whilst not as efusive as some other reviewers I am happy to recommend this album to those who enjoy guitar based rock, and say once again tha their next album should be a brammer!
