"5/6/10 Here is updated review since I'd just gotten the UK version of this new Audio Bully's cd which includes Kiss the Sky, but eliminates 17 which is on the US version. I'm syched. Kiss the Sky is a much better song in my opinion and a standout track on this album, but wish that 17 was included here as well. Really my only gripe. THIS IS A SOLID CD from the AB's. It combines everything that was great about EGO WAR and GENERATION into one CD. Fantastic house/rock guitar tracks like Only Man, Kiss the Sky and Fantastic Garage/British Hip Hop tracks like London Dreamer, Feel Alright, Daisy Chains, Dragging Me Down, Drained Out.
What's awesome about this is album is that it seemlessly combines the light and the dark into one cohesive ablum and sometimes songs (see both Shotgun and Smiling Faces...which the latter took me a bit to get used to because they start on the light side and then convert to dark/rugged style house/crazy synths and beeps) IT WORKS.
I'm a biased fan of AB's so wasn't doubting it'd be a good album, but Generation, while still a great album, the US version lacked tracks that the UK version had and could've used those tracks to make it more solid. HIGHER THAN THE EIFFEL fixes that. Can't wait to see what these british lads have up their sleeves for the future- Cheers
I have no idea what this other review is talking about..."Higher than the Eiffel" is awesome. But then again, I'm biased to the Audio Bullys. Being that I've got family in the UK, I'm able to get listens to singles they've released and versions of tracks that didnt come out here in the US, but nonetheless, this is a solid cd. Standouts are:
Only Man
Kiss the Sky
Drowned Out
Daisy Chains
London Dreamer
Twist Me Up
Goodbye
Feel Alright
Dragging Me Down
Yeah, the lyrics can be simplistic at times, but I've got NO PROBLEM w/ that. This is a bangin cd. Keep it up audio bullys. Give me that punk boys"
