Editorial Review: Description: 'The State Of Things' is the debut album from Arctic Monkeys associate Jon 'The Reverend' McClure. Wry and observational lyrics about everyday life are equally matched with indie guitar pop and a touch of Madchester-esque funk. Includes the singles 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' and 'He Said He Loved Me'. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - rev and the makersmost original and best album i've heard in years, provocative, thought provoking and real life. always makes me smile. Rating: - Not quite loving it but getting there Without making any comparison to the Artic monkeys or any other bands and just listening to this album as what it is its pretty good. The songs that are good on it are really good and the rest just fail below the mark.It starts of great with fast beats and memorable hard tunes for the first five songs then it seriousily lulls till track 8 He said he loved me- (a chavs anthemn to unrequeinted love ). Heavyweight champion is the outstanding song and the other first 5 songs are in a similar vein.However the rest seriousily lull and this is where the album falls down- however in honesty its a failing of many albums nowadays. There are no great suprises on this album and all the released track songs are the best ones on the albm the others ...

After listening to it a few times i am pleasantly surprised!! The first 3 tracks are really great but then it seems to go down hill a bit but they are all great tracks. Reminds me of Preston from the ordinary boys but better!! Well can't be worse can it?? I've got heavyweight champ as my ringtone now which has people asking" who's that mate" when my phone rings in pubs etc so I'm spreading the word folks. Rating:  - Please let me off this conveyer..........I was really looking forward to this album, there was the Arctic Monkeys links, the hype, the bravado etc and god was I disappointed. It starts well enough with The State of Things, The Machine and then the storming single Heavyweight Champion....but it all goes a bit wrong from there. Samey tunes, more lyrics about going out, getting girls, having an argument with 'yer bird' in fact everything thats been done a hundred times already by every new band to surface in the past 12 months. The Reverend himself doesn't have the same knack at a lyric as Alex Turner does no matter how hard he tries, and god does he try. I apologise for making any sort of comparison with the A.M. but its difficult not to when Alex Turner is actually on the album and when ... Read More: Rating: - An awesome album and an awesome bandI bought this album around a month ago without really knowing whether I would like it...having only heard 'Heavyweight Champion of The World' and 'She Said He Loved Me' and believing they would be the only catchy numbers from the CD. I must confess I missed the chance to see the Reverend and his band at Reading Festival 2007- as I wanted to see 'The Enemy' and 'Maximo Park' on other stages at the same time. But clearly I missed out. The album is a great listen for anyone remotely into Indie. Although there remains the vast majority who have yet to hear either the songs themselves or even of the band, once you do you will be hooked. The electro strains also broaden the appeal to a wider audience who as ever, want something ... Read More: |
