Amazon.co.uk Review
Most bands ripen and transcend their earlier selves, eventually. But for Razorlight the onset of maturity has been particularly rapid. Itrsquo;s like they got on the bus with their debut emUp All Night/em, all tight jeans and scrappy attitude, winging a childrsquo;s fare and yet by the time they sat down they were in comfy slacks, pulling a financial supplement from their jacket pocket for light reading and asking the kids at the back to pipe down. Their eponymous second record unapologetically disposed of the fervour and sense of place of emUp All Night/em, pursuing instead a universal sense of melody and more generic themes. It is this vein that they build on with Phase 3, aka emSlipaway Fires/em, and having already engaged the mainstream, Johnny Borrell now makes a big play to be prompted alongside some of the greats. With the sentimental piano balladry of ldquo;Wire to Wirerdquo; and ldquo;The Houserdquo; he positions himself between ldquo;Donrsquo;t Look Back in Angerrdquo; and Elton John. On ldquo;You the Restrdquo; and ldquo;60 Thompsonrdquo; he goes after Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan respectively. The eye-openers are exaggerated cliché ldquo;Tabloid Loverrdquo; which is like The Who, Queen and Roxette forced into a space too small for them all and ldquo;Stingerrdquo;, arching soft rock ballad with a perm. Itrsquo;s an ambitious project in advancing the Razorlight template and sometimes it probably pushes too far, but a glimmer remains throughout and emSlipway Fires/em wonrsquo;t be the record to halt their ascent. em--James Berry/em
