User Album Review
The mission statement of the record comes in album opener ‘Got To Let The Good Times Back Into Your Life’. The razor blade guitars and dancefloor-ready rhythms would have sat easily alongside the likes of ‘Vice’ and ‘Don’t Go Back To Dalston’ back in 2004 – especially with a line like “You’ve got a landline, but you never call”. There’s Weller-esque bounce on ‘Brighton Pier’, a frenetic sugar rush on ‘Good Night’ and even a Kings Of Leon tribute on ‘Japanrock’.
‘Olympus Sleeping’ has no shame in what it’s ode to the indie genre. It’s got a smack of the teenage joy of their debut, but not the U2-threatening ambition of their self-titled record; nor is it as bloated as ‘Slipway Fires’. After a decade in the wilderness of making intentionally uncommercial jazz and world music side projects and undersung solo endeavours, Borrell is here with what he deems “a love letter to rock n’ roll”.
Razorlight are not here to save rock – they never were, and they’re more than aware of it. They’re not reinventing the wheel, but pulling the Harley out of the ditch.
