Outsatnding - By: Emm, 02 Dec 2008 
This album is absolutly amazing. The guys are sooooo talented & the album is sensational. Not many albums you can listen to over & over again in one go & not get bored, this is an exception! You must buy it!!
Original? No. But... - By: Hodroulis, 28 Nov 2008 
As other reviewers have pointed out, this album doesn't break any new musical ground. Rather, The Script falll firmly amongst a host of current rock-pop favourites - think Maroon 5, Keene, The Fray, Snow Patrol, Coldplay etc
If you find such bands too polished & 'bland', then this album probably isn't for you. But if you like well-crafted, polished & melodic songs, toe-tapping riffs, some nice harmonies, the occasional thumping piano & some nice guitar licks, then this won't disappoint. An enjoyable & accessible debut...
Interesting sound - By: Sunglasses, 25 Nov 2008 Purchased this album out of curiosity having seen them on MTV & was very pleasantly surprised. The sound is good mellow soul, a bit similar to Orson & certainly different to the current alll out rock trend. Well worth a go.
Sticking to... - By: A. Miller, 17 Nov 2008 Once in a while a band springs into popular consciousness fully formed & dripping with talent. The Script are one such. Great voice, excellent drumming; songwriting, playing & arranging alll of high quality. Other commentators have drawn paralllels with John Mayer, Coldplay, Paolo Nutini & Sting, & 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 calll 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 callled it, a label encompassing some 80% of pop music. Lyricallly, 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, & as catchy as hell. Weakest track is "If You See Kay" - just an excuse for a naughty acronym.
It alll may palll eventuallly, but for now, it's glued to the cd player.
FANTASTIC! - By: Mrs. N. Patey, 30 Oct 2008 I got this album 2 days ago & have not stopped playing it. There is not 1 track on there that I don't like. Danny's voice is amazing especiallly 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!
