 This is better than their first lp
Submitted on: 2009-01-03 |

I'm just now listening to this cd for the first time..having yet to listen to their debut...& to say the least, I was very impressed with the lyrics, melodies & creativity not found in too many bands these days. I felt a slight beatles, early kinks vibe as well as the spark of U2. I actually bummed this copy from the library having no clue of the band. After reading some of the negative reviews, I went to sample the tracks off the debut lp which to me sounded too borrowed, dated as I've heard it all before being over 40 yrs. old.I think many who worship the debut also like the b52's & feel they're a "great band"..possibly lacking in common sense regarding music smarts. This 2nd lp is definately growth however, wasted on some who only hear a dance beat.The song (bad sun) just might be the best song I've ever heard..& I've heard many--many songs.The song tragedy bound has a definate beatles vibe & is quite creative to say the least..I could easily see it fitting on a beatles lp..had the beatles dabbled into songs of this nature.I also write songs & feel I can hold my own..that is until I sampled these lyrics..so poetic at times...I feel as long as the band continues to grow & keeps the songs catchy yet intelligent they will continue to be a strong force in the industry.

 Not blown away

Review title says it all. Not a "In Rotation" album. Kinda mediocre to say the least.
Ok, so I bought this album without listening to it first. Big mistake. Be smart, listen to its entirety first, then buy if it blows you away. I suggest you borrow it from a friend or better yet, the library. |

 great band

| I love The Bravery! They have a The Killers and Franz Ferdinand feel to them. Great lasting appeal, it's been months and I still love them. Every song is catchy and unique. But written reviews on music are virtually meaningless. You shouldn't take our word for it, everybody's taste in music is different. So scroll back up there and start sampling! |

The second album by The Bravery is a radical departure from The Bravery, in a major improvement. Gone are the Duran Duran/Killers imitative songs and pseudo-new wave posturing, in are melodic songs with acoustic underpinnings. While a comparison to the radical shift The Killers made with Sam's Town is more than a little apt, The Bravery sound more like they boned up on Coldplay, The Rembrandts, The Cure or even a little Pink Floyd when they started laying the groundwork for "The Sun and The Moon."
The album is a low key affair, without the obvious single that marked "An Honest Mistake." But given time, "Time Won't Let Me Go" and "Believe" stay in your memory. There are a couple of darker moments, like "Tragedy Bound," about a woman so hard luck that "She's cutting herself just to see if it works." If you miss the breezy, easy pop of the debut, there's "Bad Sun," with an inescapable whistling hook.
They have not completely escaped their past, however. "Every Word is a Knife In My Ear" is on a par with "Stop Drop and Roll" from the debut as filler and "Split Me Wide Open" is way too heavy handed lyrically for its own good. Main Braveheart Sam Endicott can be proud of this effort, though. With "The Sun and The Moon," he and his fellow Bravery mates have transcended their roots and made an album that shows a band with more promise than their debut would have led you to contemplate. |

| This album is a solid addition to any fan of the genre (I abstain from giving the genre a more defined title because music genres are near-impossible to define). Great tracks in a great overall sound. |
