Afraid Of Heights

Surprise, surprise the music press (allmusic, pitchfork et al) have got it all wrong. This is the Wavves at their best and most consistent.The album is a rollicking ride of surf/pop/rock that will in times to come be embraced the music press as a high watermark for the band. From start to finish the album is very enjoyable and has smatterings of laugh out lyrics to counterpoint the sometimes darksubject matter of the songs. Sometimes when an album is highly anticipated it can be a disappointment but that is not the case hear. So ignore the pointless criticism of the press which usually runs along the lines of the album is not a progression for the band and then hammer all the songs that are slightly different as the low points of the album. Afraid of Heights delivers in all respects and is progression for the band but they haven't lost what made you like them in the first place. An excellent album, what more could you ask for?

Great thanks

he so definitely wants to be kurt cobain in many instances, but aside from that, it is still a solid effort and some really good song writing.

Overall a good album, never heard of these guys before, but worth the money. Have listened to it a dozen times and still like it.

This album is awesome. Very good music. I would recommend it. Thank you.

As expected, the new Wavves is pretty good, a little more accessible than previous releases, reminds me a bit of Modest Mouse right before they had their big break. The notion of Wavves becoming popular seems equally unlikely, but the thought of these guys knocking Taylor Swift out of Number One is pretty awesome.

This guys were inspired by Nirvana. Not even the Foo Fighters sound like old Nirvana so its cool somebody keeping that old grunge sound alive.

Good album, what you'd expect from Wavves. Nothing groundbreaking here, but a great sound. Only reason I'm not giving a 5 is because it doesn't seem like they tried anything new or different.

This album's been a favourite of mine from the first listening for a good two years now, well mixing influences of albums like Green Day's 'Dookie', Nirvana's 'In Utero' and Weezer's 'Blue Album' while still carrying out the traditional surf/stoner rock Wavves is known for.Vinyl arrived the next day on Standard Delivery which I was happily surprised with, and with a bonus CD inserted it makes it well worth the price for a US import, highly recommend.

This album seems to have been missed in 2013 which is a shame as it's really really good. Pop hooks welded onto punk/rock/indie. The lyrics aren't up to much but the whole thing is severely catchy. Think Nirvana/Pixies/Undertone type of deal. Yes!

Brilliant cd

Couldn't stop listening to this for a couple weeks. Very catchy songs, and fun to listen to while taking a stroll on a summer day

Questo album credo che sia migliore di quello passato...Le sonorità sono sempre sporche, stile che li ha sempre contraddistinti.Voto? 9/10
