Free Music Review: the kings of sub pop at it again
Hit: 3 Stars
This new Zero 7 album is a step in a different direction than their older work, though they still demonstrate that they have a firm grasp on the inner-workings of the sub-pop genre. This album features Sia and Jose Gonzales a lot - so it's more vocal and a little less electronic. But the vocal talent is well supported by the musical concepts of Sam and Henry. "Throw it all Away" and "Crosses" are the highlights of this album. I also highly recommend Gretchen Lieberum and her new album, "Siren Songs," which is another great example of vocal sub pop. The thing about sub pop is that it's so easy to get wrong and lack energy - it's easy to form an amalgamation of sounds that don't have any meaning when they're put together. But this album shows that Zero 7 is still at the top of its game.Free Music Review: Zero 7 is back..AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Hit: 5 Stars
Hard to believe you say??
Despite certain opinions of people who dont like the change in format or artist(i miss Tina and Sophie and Mosez a helluva lot too!) hopefully they'll be back with the next album.
Zero 7 took a chance with this new album. Going away from some of the more ambient and instrumental themed tracks of their first two major releases, and choosing to make most of the tracks lyrical and pop'ish.
The artist they kept, the eclectic and flexible Sia Furler, and 60's sounding Jose Gonzales add just the right touch to every song they're on!
Id have a much easier time finding my least favorite tracks , then my favorites, cause my favorites are pretty much every one!
Im proud to see Binns and Hardaker continue to take their music to the next level, a great cd from beginning to end!
Free Music Review: Disappointed
Hit: 1 Stars
The title should read, "The Garden of Hell". I loved the first album, the second effort was different but acceptable, but this is beyond description. I don't know what genre this would fall under, but alternative/fusion dance chillout or deep house is miles away from this effort.
Binns and Hardaker should have stuck with the formula which had worked for them before. I expected a follow up to Waiting Line, Spinning, Destiny, but got nothing.
I should have listened to the sample clips before buying this album, a practice I choose to avoid only for Zero 7. This effort is a major disappointment for me. I guess I'll stick to the first two Cd's and let this one gather DUST.

"Catch a falling star
you'll go far"
Crystal vocals are layered over fascinating music that seems to have a mind of its own. Trippy bubbly sounds follow with snappy appeal. Throw it all Away is soulful and vibrant. You never know what to expect next but may find yourself just enjoying the ride. Acoustic guitar accentuates as catchy lyrics flow into addictive grooves.
In Left Behind, the guitar takes center stage and is profoundly beautiful in creativity. The vocals are especially dreamy and I feel like I'm seeing the sound in psychedelic swirls. Definitely my favorite track on this album. The more I listen to this album, the more I appreciate the soulful qualities.

Hace tiempo no escuchaba un disco tan bueno. Tan motivador como Simple Things. Hace tiempo no escuchaba un trabajo tan bien hecho. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
