Advantages: Strong messages, catchy tunes, great vocals

Disadvantages: This is pop music!?

The Script are able to produce music that's simply easy listening. It's the kind of music you can easily relax into, whether it be a rainy afternoon or the drive home from work. The tracks are loaded with messages that are very relatable to us as listeners. Being an alternative rock band, they produce music similar to some favourites; Coldplay, Snow Patrol and One Republic - to name a few.

This first installation from The Script goes from strength to strength right from the onset, with some huge hits, like "The Man Who Can't be Moved" and "Breakeven." The first track "We Cry" is the perfect opening that I find instantly hooking. Lead singer, Danny O'Donoghue's vocal ability is impressive, and nicely put together with a rapping section in this one .

"Before The Worst" has a strong powerful chorus and a great bridge section, and, again, nearer the end of the song O'Donoghue's vocals are exceptional. By the time "Talk You Down" came on, I was thinking how I could hear a bit of David Grey coming through in their overall sound. I'm even reminded of Paolo Nutini listening to The Script. "Breakeven" is a real treat, and "Rusty Halo," following this track, is surprising upbeat and dark. I love "I'm Yours" ( a sweet and gentle emotional song) and the final track "Anybody There."

The album remains strong all throughout, expressing the hardships, pain and beauty of love.

Summary: Great album showcasing The Script's potential
