 Hype is a fatal thing July 1, 2008
I heard nothing but praise for quite a while before i tried this. I kept hearing things like "It's not the normal indie music that is being churned out these days". But after a listen I realised that it is just that and what these people should have been saying was "It is the normal indie music that is being churned out these days".
Theres nothing special about it. Nothing fresh really.
This may seem like harsh criticism, but i'm not saying it's terrible, just that it's definately not new. If you're happy listening to the wombats and stuff like that, with no real experimentation, then you'll be golden here.
I think that this stems from the fact that I've got an odd taste in music, I started out listening to stuff like this, Oasis, Travis et.c, but eventually I moved to pastures new. I really like experimentation, if it's not a bit different it doesn't last long in my playlists.
To sum up, this is OK, but nothing innovative like the praisers would have you believe.
 Immense!! May 1, 2008

A lot of hype surrounded the courteeners debut album and it doesnt dissapoint.
Lazy journalists have been calling them the new oasis which is unfair, although they hail from Manchester and the lead singers names are the same, these are the only similarites between the two.
I think this album should be reviewed on its own merits and not compared to the likes of oasis or smiths etc, because you will always have people who are still living in the 80s and 90s saying they are not as good as these bands.
But let us remember it is 2008 and these bands have been and gone and it is now time for people and music to move on, dont get me wrong im a big fan (and always will be) of the roses,oasis and the smiths and must now say that the courteeners now fall into this category.
now for the album, unlike a lot of indie albums nowadays which contain about 12 songs which sound the same, this is different, a mix of raw energy, catchy foottappers which will stick in you head for weeks and well written ballads, this album offers everything.
I could go on and on about how good this album is but all i can say is give it a try yourself you wont be dissapointed.
oh one final thing if you can catch them live go and see them they are excellent.
 i hope the amount of reviews don't reflect sales April 14, 2008

because this is one that deserves to be bought and should be playing in your cd player right now! a brilliant rock and roll indie album with thundering guitar work and well paced songs. aftershow starts the album as it means to go on, head bopping rock that continues with cavorting, bide your time and what took you so long? please don't is then one of the two slower tracks (and also poorer in my eyes) as is the following track if it wasn't for me. no you didn't, no you don't then picks up the pace again as one of the best tracks on the album, but again then how come drops in as the usual slow track that they put in on indie albums. the rest of the album then plays out very nicely, kings of the new road till fallowfield hillbilly are then back to head-popping, toe-tapping rock songs with yesterday, today & probably tomorrow then plays the album out nice and gently, which is where i feel the slow songs should go on an album, but just my opinion
so in conclusion a great album, similar in style to maybe the enemy, a sort of 2008 oasis if you like (they are manc), the only reason i wouldn't give it 5 stars is the sort of let downs in please don't, if it wasn't for me and how come. also the half-hidden track at the end of the album is another goodie and ingeniusly you don't have to wait 10 minutes at the end of the last track to get to it, just skim through like 8 blank or when you import them on your computer, delete them
