Album Review
The Bravery's self-titled debut is a slick twist on '80s new wave and post-millennium modern rock. Those who've followed the Killers, stellastarr*, and the like will surely pounce on the Bravery's luscious synth-driven pop. The 11-song set, produced by the band's frontman, Sam Endicott, is playful and confident, unlike the stressful production of the Killers' Hot Fuss. Sure, obvious influences (Duran Duran, the Smiths, the Cure) carry the weight of this album, but it's without haste. An overcast backdrop dresses the trashy hints of love and desire, and cocksure moments such as "Public Service Announcement" and "No Brakes" showcase the Bravery's swagger with style. Endicott goes from sounding like a Robert Smith copycat ("Tyrant") to a dirtier Julian Casablancas ("Out of Line") and maintains a focused, fashionable dance sound. "Unconditional" soars with a sly guitar/keyboard two-step while "An Honest Mistake" saunters like classic New Order with its dark-hued mechanical energy. The Bravery isn't sonically mind-blowing, but the new millennium new wave revival remains intriguing. This New York five-piece makes an interesting effort without it coming off contrived and dishonest. Get ready to shake your hips!
Customer Reviews
A real grower
Bought purely as I love the "An Honest Mistake" single the rest of the album has really grown on me. A couple of reviews here compare this to The Kaiser Cheifs or The Killers - what rubbish, it's hardly the same genre. It reminds me more of early Simple Minds or New Order. Very electronic and quite unique a the moment I would say: and as the title of my review says, a real grower.
Great Album
This album does take at least 2-3 listens to get into but lets face it, the best ones do. The two bad reviews on here should be ignored - the are blatantly biased and written by bloc party/killers fanboys who spend too long reading the NME and not enough time listening to music to form their own opinions. An excellent album, of which there are too few ever; perhaps one duff song if that. Albums seem to get good reviews if there are 3 or 4 great singles on them, never mind if the rest is filler (Gorrillaz - Demon Days and the Killers album spring to mind). This is a great album with consistently great songs. I'm going to buy it again as a loony ex borrowed it leaving me with bloomin razorlight.
does anyone actually have a clue
this album is super! for anyone who loves the new indie electronical theme. these are the guys who actually started this stuff after all their album was released BEFORE the killers', bloc party's and kaiser chiefs' first album and are better than all of them put together live, i've seen all of them and bravery are leagues above them all! they are opening wembley now with the delays if you are looking for tickets
