Amazon.co.uk Review
bThis Special Tour Edition version includes the single "Somewhere Else" as a bonus track./b IUp All Night/I might be Razorlight's debut album, but we've heard their like before: from Oasis's Gallagher brothers, whose wilful arrogance is echoed in frontman Johnny Borrell's proclamations of his own songwriting genius, or The Libertines, who share Razorlight's romantic vision of London as a city of boozy rock roll dreams. And while those two touchstones are probably a pretty good encapsulation of the Razorlight sound--holler-along choruses, presented with a slightly greasy leather-jacket sense of urchin cool#151;there's certainly more to Razorlight than such a simple equation can spell. Sure, there's nothing especially original about Borrell's tales of hot clubs and pretty girls, but his delivery is passionate in all the right places: see the startling "In The City", which finds him bursting with enthusiasm, words spewing out of his mouth like a teenage Dylan. The title track is the album's highlight, a graceful number about walking the streets through 'til dawn. But the irrepressible "Rip It Up" proves Razorlight can spit out the odd party number, thieving the guitar sound direct from 70s punk pioneers Television's IMarquee Moon/I and fleshing it out into a rabble-rousing indie-club stomper. I--Louis Pattison/I

 There are two things that really irritate me about the Indie/Rock music scene... July 29, 2006

There are two things that really irritate me about the Indie/Rock music scene.
br /Firstly - the over-hyping of mediocre new bands by institutions like The NME and Radio 1. And Secondly, probably even moreso, the people who see this branch of music as purely a fashion accessory.
br /These jokers instantly take a disliking to a band once it receives too much hype and common folk start catching on. They will tell you the lyrics are not deep enough, the melodies are simple and the guitarist's rubbish - and then babble on about some new album 'not on general release' by a band you have never, and will never hear about. This all boils down to accessibility. If a band is accessible and some songs might actually be liked by your mum, it means they're going to get big - and our Indie fashion victims don't like that. You see, music can't be ultra popular and ultra trendy. If these guys were to admit they liked bands that have become mainstream, it would mock their belief that ordinary people can't be as highbrow as themselves when it comes to music appreciation - and we couldn't have that, could we?
br /This is Razorlight's problem, of course. They have become a little too mainstream - especially with the release and subsequent hype of their second album. Nevertheless, Up All Night is a really great album and certainly one of the best of this Millennium. It offers some true originality compared the other British offerings from this Genre, and more importantly, includes some fantastic songs. The title track, 'Up All Night' and 'Golden Touch' to name but two are fantastic tunes. Some will say too melodic, but what's wrong with a melody? Are The Beatles also to be marked down for the same reason?
br /If you genuinely like indie/rock for what it is, and aren't too concerned whether it's fashionable or 'underground' enough, then you will no doubt love Up All Night. Some of the later tracks take a few listens but there is very little on this album that won't have you appreciating seriously good, modern British music.
Best Debut I've heared April 22, 2005

Razorlight have done VERY well to make a debut this good. Usually i don't think too much of new bands until I hear a lot of their music, but Razorlight are quite unique, Johnny Borrell has come up with lyrics that really have a meaning to the songs, not just random words and the music is really good and catches your ear, I've found myself listening to the songs over and over as they're that good. Another good point about "Up All Night" is that every song is good, usually you get a couple of bad songs on albums, not here, every song is brilliant and each song is different, not just the same type of music, it has a good variety on it, I totally recommend this album to everyone, a must buy!!

Lives up to demo 110% August 18, 2006

After seeing the wonderfully arrogant Borrell and the boys perform on the new bands stage at Leeds I was hooked and needed to get more of this band. They were a welcome breath of fresh air to this indie rock scene which was becoming a little too commercial, gritty punky and sexy as hell.
br /I managed to get hold of a six track demo which reminded me of how phennominal this band had sounded. I waited with baited breath to get hold of the full album and was not disappointed.
br /This album is the stuff of dreams its rough, ready and a bit raw around the edges. Apart from the obvious stand out Golden Touch I would list Vice as my all time favourite. Other great tunes include the title track Up all Night, Rock n Roll Lies and In The City which is one hell of a live track.
br /Also fear not weather you get the version with Fall Fall Fall on or Hang By Hang By as neither will dissapoint. A must for all serious music enthusiasts.
Buy It May 3, 2005

One of the best albums of the last 5 years is even better with the addition of the anthem "Somewhere Else". A kick in the teeth to those who bought the album originally but if you dont have it yet, there is now really no excuse...
