Free Music Notes for Here We Stand
Free Music Review: Even less good Fratellis is great
Hit: 4 Stars
As others have said, the songs are longer and not quite as crisp. But so what? Most of the songs went right from the CD to my workout playlist. Because in the end, what matters is that the Fratellis are the quintessential British band of this decade in the same way that Kings of Leon are the quintessential American band. Neither could be from the other country. The Fratellis come out of a rock tradition that is rooted in the British music hall, not the American south. They are the heirs of the Kinks, T-Rex, Slade, Oasis...highly melodic, highly rhythmic, insightful, funny, and just plain fun. Give me these guys over the world-weary Arctic Monkeys any day!Free Music Review: Costello Music tramples this album, but it's still pretty decent
Hit: 4 Stars
The Fratellis' most recent album, "Here We Stand," had much to live up to, given that their first EP "Costello Music" was one of the best alternative albums released in recent years in my opinion. So I wasn't surprised when I sampled "Here We Stand" because obviously they can't all be 5-star-albums. But it is decent, decent enough to not have completely ignored it amongst better recent albums in this genre. I would say if you really loved "Costello Music," it's worth buying "Here We Stand." If you are new to this band, I suggest buying "Costello Music" first.Free Music Review: Not the complete CD

For some reason (which I refuse to give my opinion on) the US release does not include 'Jesus Stole My Baby', which is a good track. I wish had known before I ordered it (silly of me to assume I would be getting the full release) because I most likely would have ordered the UK release instead.Free Music Review: Very British and very fun
Hit: 4 Stars
Strong follow up to their previous album, "Here We Stand" is rollicking fun - a throwback to the Beatlesque 60s, with a dash of Herman's Hermits, but with some heavier guitar riffs, surprising tempo changes and good ol' fashioned drink-along, sing-along choruses.Free Music Review: Here we stand!

For people who liked the first the Fratellis album, and are expecting something like that will have a big surprise. I think is so good as the last one (Castello music), but a little more light. Good music good stuff, but different. I recomend!
