Play 90 second soundbite of 'My Silver Line' @ 'CD quality'
With easy melodies and openly accessible 'words', The Words dish out their catchy 'chunes' with well proportioned but pretty sassy aggression that make their songs undeniably singalongable. There's nothing overly-clever, angular or obtuse here; The Words are pretty straight-arrow in their ballsy approach and make a pretty commercial 'noise'
Tracks included here are, 'Under The Sun', 'My Silver Line', 'Time' and 'Holding Up The Walls'; four varied but very focussed offerings that say a great deal about this punchy but somewhat quirky sounding outfit. It's indie alright but its just far enough removed from the indie 'norm' to be enticing and intriguing. Whether The Words are sitting back and giving it calm and controlled or whether they're lashing out with big riffs and frenzied crescendos they seem to be able to hold it all beautifully together and create an inoffensive yet compelling electric 'storm' of sound.
The Words emanate a feeling of instrumental and compositional maturity and the four tracks here clearly demonstrate their collective artistry and ambition. 'All The Roads' by The Words certainly gets the job done and leaves the listener in no doubt about the drive and potential of this band. 'All The Roads' should be listened to at high dbs to get the most out of The Words' kerranging attitudinal execution; the songs may be generally simplistic in form but The Words make up for their relatively basic instincts by thrashing it out loud and proud. Very likeable and very contagious stuff this from The Words; 'All The Roads' is rammed with instant appeal and nicely accessible songs - impressive and potentially 'chart-wise' material delivered with dedicated professionalism and nicely controlled 'guts'.
