Free Music Notes for Here We Stand
Free Music Review: Is This Really The Fratellis?
Hit: 2 Stars
It seems The Fratellis have turned into a post brit-pop/indie band since their last album. Costello Music was Fantastic. I gave it 10/10 in all my reviews because it was original, full of energy, and great fun. It made me feel great listening to it. 'Here We Stand' is nothing in comparison. A below average indie album, boring, awful vocals and a lot of the tunes have been nicked from other music I've heard. (So definitely not original). For instance the tune they play in Lupe Brown sounds as if its been copied from the film 'August Rush'. I understand a band should grow, but I don't like the direction they have chosen, or where they are heading. I so wanted to like this album but it comes as a huge disappointment after the success of Costello Music.Free Music Review: Totally forgettable
Hit: 2 Stars
I love Costello Music. As soon as I found out The Fratelli's had released a sedond album, I ordered it (luckiky for only about $2 used, heh). I've given this album several listens, but I just can't bring myself to like it. Every song is so generic, so forgettable. Immediately after listening to the album, I have forgotten any of the tunes, any of the melodies. There are no catchy hooks, no memorable lyrics, nothing. The first track, My Friend John, is halfway decent, but that's it. Even it's not that great. It's about as good as maybe the bottom half of songs on Costello Music. I would advise skipping this album and waiting to see if they can string together a decent third one.Free Music Review: Sophmore Slump

All currency they gained with me from Costello Music they lost with their follow up, Here We Stand. Its an okay album, but just doesn't have the spark and whimsy of the first one.Free Music Review: Boring, Boring, 1 Stars
Costello Music might be one of my top ten favorite albums of all time. Catchy, infectious, melodic, sarcastic, snot nosed and so much fun--everything you would want from a post punk pop outfit out of Glasgow. I had so looked forward to having another selection from the Fratellis if only to give Costello Music a break in the rotation once in awhile. Unfortunately, this cd is just one big heartbreaking disappointment. I gave it several listens hoping against hope that it would grow on me but my initial impression only became worse with repeated efforts. It sounds like a poor copy of a Kaiser Chiefs record at best at worst it is just another uninspired indy/alt record that will find it's way to the back of my collection to gather dust. What were the boys thinking? Some of the songs might be okay if they would just pick up the tempo a bit . . .but the songs just plod and bore.
