 You See Colours B Sides June 22, 2008
I'm a massive Delays fan but this album is entirely filler for me. The lyrics and melodies are empty. There are no standout tunes, everything is predictable and cheesy. There isn't a single song that matches the worst song on their previous album in my opinion. I hope they move on for the next one!
 hooray! The delays are on fire! May 30, 2008
Simply brilliant, refreshing and different.
Why oh why this did not get to number 1 in the albumn charts i do not know?
Another great masterpeace from the lads, the delays must be the biggest secret in the music industry.
It also disapoints me why the radio stations dont play more of the dealys, if they did they would achieve top flight musican status they desrve!
The best yet? May 27, 2008
I waited what felt like an eternity for this album and it doesn't disappoint. This is an awesomw album and every song is very listenable (is that even a word?!). Summer album of the year...buy iy now!
Lush, emotional and another home run by the Delays... May 14, 2008
I tell you, their albums and scope just gets bigger and better with each album. I first saw these guys in Seattle in maybe 2003 or so at a tiny little club downtown that only had about 50 people or so in it. The show was BRILLIANT and had the most incredible energy. It's one I'll never forget. When I was in London for school in 2005 I saw them again at the Mean Fiddler with many many more people. I somehow crammed up front with my friend and we had a blast. The voices, the energy, the movement; it was all transfixing. I must say, the live shows are truly amazing and will only make you appreciate this band even more.
That said, Everything's The Rush will only lend a hand to their catalogue of songs to play at those shows to bring even more energy and fun to the picture. I've had Hooray on my playlist for months and love the song. I think No Contest is my fav. song as of yet with Touch Down a close second. The guitars on songs like Friends Are False are much more pronounced than earlier efforts, which is not a bad thing, but it almost leads them into 'boy band' territory with the likes of Fall Out Boy, etc. But what happens is the vocals and interesting synth take over 1/3 of the way into some of these songs and really reach them out to new peaks. The song One More Lie In is odd, only because the vocal stylings on the verses are a departure from the rest of the album. It's almost as if a different person is singing here. Which may be the case, but I can't find that information in the cover booklet. The refrain is classic Delays, but the vocals throughout seem a bit out of place. The only misstep on this album, in my opinion is the song Jet Lag. I like the notes, but the words just seem hokey to me ("Let's go swimming in the morning" is repeated too often and sounds like a 4th grade poem).
Overall, this album does not disappoint in any way and only enhances the music they've already created. It's an incredibly fun and animated album with a wide spectrum of vocal talent and a healthy mix of synth, keyboards, guitar, strings and drums that create music that will make you happy no matter what the mood or day. I must say, the string sounds, the epic nature of them, are one of the elements that attract me most to Delay's music. And when I say synth, I'm not referring to rehashing of 80's elements. I'm referring to a new breed that the Delay's have all but created and perfected on their own. You won't hear these elements coming from any other band right now. This album is quite good. A solid 4.5 stars to be sure and as I said, their live shows will blow you away, and it's where they really shine, on stage (or on amazing speakers in your house-their stuff sounds totally different if played through a computer versus a great stereo, don't deny yourself the listening pleasure).
 Another cracker from the boys! May 14, 2008
After loving the first two albums i didn't know how they could make another one to compare but they did it. Instant favourites were Friends are False and the string accompaniment on Pieces yet after a few listens other gems emerged: the simplicity of Hooray and Girl's on Fire and the feel good factor of No Contest. Love made Visible grew on me and is a now a firm favourite. The release of any new album by a favourite band is a worrying time for me but the Delays have now come up with 3 cracking albums. Everything's the rush is definitely similar in style to You See Colours but has its own individuality.
