The Coral - Roots and Echoes

Easily their best work to date, mature, melodical, and consistent. I love their previous work but this really takes the proverbial biscuit. "Jacqueline" especially is bound to be released as a single at some stage, and I can see it bringing them a nice bit of commercial success as well.

Anyone else a fan?

I like the Coral but they never seem to get beyond their 3 or so great songs on an album to make a complelely great album.

2nd album is great, last one was pretty good, and "Nightfreak" was enjoyable in a lo-fi kinda way. Not sold on their new single though - sounds like Coral by numbers.

Love the first album, liked the second and am indifferent to the third, so am sceptical about this one.

Loved the first album, everything since bored the bejesus outta me and thought the new single was ****e before I found out who was playing it. Disappointing.

their new single is a massive grower but after 3 albums it does sound very similar to their previous material, still good tune though, another album to try out this week for me!

Dont be put off by the single, I agree its standard Coral fare but its probably only the 5th-6th best song on the album.
