It's always nice to see when bands incorporate their fans in action. The band Little Man Tate from Sheffield has asked their fans this year with the mandate to create a name for their second album.
Little Man Tate is a band with an unusually small fan base. Unusual because they have real potential for mainstream success. Critics in the music of Sheffield their monotony, the same schemes again and again.
it is remarkable that these people then praise bands like the Pigeon Detectives to the skies, although the music of this English guitar rock bands like very much. And certainly not Little Man Tate monotonous than the pigeons detectives from Leeds are.
"Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy" is not only the best proposal for a name was, no, it is also way better album than the first string of four Sheffield, "About What You Know" is the debut even though the Mitgrölen suggested.
begins after a short, matching the intro guitar solo tune of "Money Wheel".
is short then the singing, and you feel arrived. At home.
be followed, even the almost euphoric chorus again a similar verse and the chorus sings, as befits rock stars - "Everyday Work for the Money Wheel."
will now hide the singer's voice, this sequence takes the guitar solo a short end.
again get to hear a choir, this time even a canon. The melody of the piece changes little, knotless Indie-Rock.
Now we hear 'What Your Boyfriend Said ", the hit single of the album. The expectations are not disappointed, but not surpassed.
Before the chorus sounds and a unique atmosphere and mood creates, and a melody that stays in one ear. Then follows
also impact the melancholy, a quiet, singing fitting piece in the play. By a choir will not return to Sheffield, as expected, returns to the refrain, but to take a detour on the verse, which they present now but louder and more permeable. This is followed by the chorus again and then approaching the end of the piece.
This is followed by a great, sad song that once again produced a catchy tune. "Reflection In His Sunglasses" might come from the rougher, better Kooks.
Just listen and sit back and let the music sink in, it works better with this music as well.
The voice thrilled ago especially in this piece fits very well into the sound, enhances the mood of the song. When I look
2:33 minutes on the advertisement and expect the end of the piece. Astonished, I perceive with the eyes that still follows approximately 1 minute.
with the ears but I hear a great interlude and again the chorus. One of the best tracks on the album, but that - I thought - it is also the next song, "Shot At Politics" say.
is, however, the song more of a hit, as so powerful mood piece as it was before, and that is the weakness of the song, much like "Money Wheel". Nevertheless, the melody is perfectly
, and get many bands of this century, the not so good out.
with My Little Sweetie "Little Man Tate make the impossible - to bring a groove in their music. And once again I am thrilled and can not distribute enough laurels. In the beginning you think: What?! A country song?, As the first tune actually sounds like. The question is, however, answered by Little Man Tate perfect. Because then comes the chorus, performed with a background choir, and once again great.
The dynamics of the piece is just brilliant and the chorus is still in the ear, the singer had said a voice like Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day in the forum, especially this piece in which he presents the chorus especially dirty, comes by. Brilliant. It probably surprised no one, the "Hey Little Sweetie" has become the second single of the album.
"Joined by an iPod" is a text-hugging piece, a typical quiet fits Song of Sheffield, with a great melody, and again he great in the picture, and so far have been discovered except perhaps the above-average "Money Wheel" and "Shot At Politics" .
urbritische A melody begins, "Face On A Wall" begins.
This song is back again something new, he is a classic beat song again gesongwritet perfectly, I must once again recognize the brilliance of "Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy."
was so far every song is a catchy tune, including this one. Simply great.
You have to really lose on this album of few words, it's simply impeccable.
"A Little Heart" is again a guitar song, with the synthesizer in the background he could also come from the wombats. Now, Little Man Tate
hit again right on the amp knobs - The intro of "Back of the Pub Quiz.
It is quiet, and the verse starts again, there is a vocal piece hugging. Reminds me of the verse part, to the early "Good Charlotte", in one of her quieter songs. The piece is a ballad with a melancholy refrain that time by a noisy, time is emphasized by the only suggested guitar.
At the end there is even a guitar solo, and then comes "London Skies, London Eyes. In this song, the sound
Sheffield as the better "adult" Fratellis, another catchy tune, great again.
"Shoulder To Sigh On" meets the promises, which makes the name.
It is an a cappella song, which is supported only at about 1 minute from abstract played trumpets, an acoustic guitar and driving drums.
Shortly after the use of the instruments are already off again, the singer sings with a choir in the background, and shortly after the song is already done.
And the lyrics on the album?
The lyrics, the album is awesome to know again, dirty and funny, as we have of Little Man Tate.
Man falls zwansläufig into applause, if this tour de Little Man Tate, which could have been from this band may not necessarily expected.
The bottom line: Maybe it does a band good to have a smaller fan base, so as not such a (sorry) produce scrap as the Kooks on their second album.
I give 9 / 10 points
