 Rating:  - Made me smile straight away :)I first heard them on Radio2 and have been waiting with baited breath ever since for the album. It doesn't disappoint - it is truly uplifting and heartfelt stuff. Best indie/pop since New Radicals and Gay Dad. Out-epics Doves Some Cities (just about :) ) Rating:  - Gathering 'dust'I bought this cd on the back of the singles 'Dust' and 'Man in the machine' but unfortunately these two tracks are as good as it gets really. Royworld's music has a 1980's feel to it and reminds me of groups like The Blue Nile, Living in a box, Talking Heads ect and much like their music i doubt it is music that will last the test of time. Heavily produced with plenty of electric pianos,synthesiezers and computer enghanced vocals,'Astronaut' being a prime example,a travelling in space type song so far removed from Dust you do wonder how that ever made the track listing. This album could and in fact should have offered so much more from a band that produced such good songs as 'Dust' and 'Man in the machine' and whilst 'Wish ...

I listened to a couple of previews and decided it was definitely my type of music. Strong melodies, good production quality, slightly rocky and definitely 'poppy'. Also liking The Guillemots, I can well believe that there were a fantastic support band on their tour. I would liken their music to 'The Feeling' - instantly likeable. If you buy this album and like indie music, I don't think you will be disappointed. Rating:  - Journey meets Adfinem with the pomp of Queen!!Saw this band supporting (I think!) We are Scientists and I was well impressed! The vocalist actually sounds better and more prominent in the mix live as opposed to the cd! His vocals remind me of depeche mode/adfinem style electropop. Very good album, Science and Wish Ourselves Away are my favourite tracks. Rating: - I cant remember the last time I was this impressed with a debut albumI heard Dust on one of those music channels on TV and was hugely impressed. So much so I took a gamble on buying Royworlds debut cd - and I'm glad I did. This band are old school. Old school in that there isn't just one decent song on an album. Where there's a collection of songs built with strong hooks and quality ideas. Songs that you want to keep hearing and upon repeat listenings you hear new things. This album has clearly been put together with some care & thought. The only weak track for me is Elasticity, but that's only personal taste. That track is soon overshadowed by current single Dust and the fantastic Brakes. But the highlight for me is Astronaut. I can hear the influence of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush in these ...
