Customer Reviews of Expecting to Fly
Best debut I have ever heard - period After hearing my radio buzzing to the sound of 'Slight Return', the debut single by the Bluetones,I began to feel my heart start to palpitate with excitement.You could hear the Rickenbacker guitar jangling loudly, the voice was reminiscent of a power-pop god of yesterday and the song itself was so catchy, that I went out and bought the album straight away on the strength of this song.
That was all of 7 years ago around the height of the Britpop phenomenon.The album debuted at No.1 in the British charts that year, and it was no fluke.
It is rare to find a debut album by such a young band (at the time) where the guitar work is as faultless as this and the songs so melodic and adrenalin-fuelled.The Bluetones should have been declared the young pretenders to the power-pop throne.
From the opening bars of 'Talking To Clary' to the final song of 'Time And Again',you are taken on an energetic journey through 11 unique songs that are equal part Byrds, Big Star and forgotten British greats like The Records.
Yes folks, it's that good !
Alas, the Bluetones never reached these dizzy heights again despite some very good follow-up albums.
If you are unfamiliar with their work, I urge you to seek them out.
Adam Devlin will one day be considered one of the best British guitarists of his era - as good as a Johnny Marr or a John Squire.Mark Morriss is an excellent vocalist with a lovely high tenor voice ideally suited to his material.The bass player and drummer are no less excellent.
For young boys to write and record to such a high level on their debut album is remarkable.
Do yourself a huge favour and get this album.
More than just britpop
This is by far the best Bluetones album and one of my all time favorites. The thing is, even though I liked every song the first time I heard it, I could never get sick of it - I've had this album for 5 years now and I can still listen to it. If that doesn't mean it's a great album, I don't know what does.
TOP CLASS BRITISH INDIE
One of the great things about the Bluetones is that they are very distinctive like eg- the Smiths, not just because of the lead singers voice but also the melodic tunes and gituar riffs.
I have worked through the Bluetones collection the opposite way, starting with 'Science and Nature', then 'Return to the last chance Saloon' and finishing off with 'Expecting to Fly'. This album isn't to dissimilar to their other albums but thats not a bad thing. One feature that carries through the trio of albums is that each contains a 3 or 4 amazing songs, and the rest sound a little more boring and 'same-ish'. Hence 4 stars and not 5.
On this album the stand out track has to be 'Bluetonic'. It is amazing, its a highly charged melodic indie song and it shows what the bluetones are like at their best. Other top tunes include 'Things Change' and 'Putting out Fires'.
