Sticking to...
Once in a while a band springs into popular consciousness fully formed and dripping with talent. The Script are one such. Great voice, excellent drumming; songwriting, playing and arranging all of high quality. Other commentators have drawn parallels with John Mayer, Coldplay, Paolo Nutini and Sting, and they are not too wide of the mark. Interestingly, those comparisons are intended to highlight an unease over originality, but a common thread is also that these artists are so adept at what they do, many people find them annoying.

I was unmoved by debut single "We Cry" - they evidently listen to a lot more hip hop/R n B or whatever you'd call it than I do. The album leads off with that song, but then there follows a straight run of 5 hook-laden pop songs that certainly justify the price of admission, from Before the Worst to Rusty Halo (something in the voice in that one reminds me of nothing more than `80's Aussies Men at Work!). The Man Who Can't Be Moved is the song that changed my mind - "self-pitying toss", another reviewer called it, a label encompassing some 80% of pop music. Lyrically, it doesn't bear too close an inspection - the guy is more likely to get a restraining order than a reconciliation. But, it's touching in its way, and as catchy as hell. Weakest track is "If You See Kay" - just an excuse for a naughty acronym.

It all may pall eventually, but for now, it's glued to the cd player.

FANTASTIC!
I got this album 2 days ago and have not stopped playing it. There is not 1 track on there that I don't like. Danny's voice is amazing especially in the beautiful 'I'm Yours', I found that track so moving. I highly recommend that you buy this album. I don't think you'll be disappointed as I absolutely love it!

Love it
i love lots of different types of music ranging from james blunt to pendulum. i really like this album, it's a really easy listening album which you could listen to over and over again.

Awesome
Awesome and fabulous! Saw them last week at Southsea - even better live - the next best thing - play the album loud and enjoy every minute. x x

Have to admit that I love all kinds of music. My recent purchases have been from Coldplay to Vampire Weekend but the musical highlight of the last number of months has been this debut album from The Script.
I could spend the next two days explaining why I rate it so much but I am not. Your probaly thinking he is Irish and they like to support their own but no. My advice to you is buy it, you will not be disappointed.
Talent will always shine.
