Review from shoutandtwist.blogspot.com

There really is nothing like a big fat slab of innovation to heat one city's scene up.

This lot are called Earl Grey and the Lego Men and they could be the most groundbreaking, genre-crossing phenomenon since, erm, Enter Shikari.

Actually, dare I say it but they could be that little bit more superior.

It's Joy Division on top of Run DMC below My Chem by means of Dizzee with a little Klaxons on the side. Oh, and REM for leftovers.

‘Secret Bunkers’ twirls around like a braver Linkin Park, and ‘Ghoul Town’ bashes out like Trent Reznor talking to The Twang about religion.

Deep and dark guitar picking haunted by scary basslines only to be interrupted by some rap backed up by the sweet sounds of soothing synths filled their set at Barfly last week.

Plus, the lyrics are fuelled with the kinda stuff Billy Bragg would hash out, only less deep and more user-friendly.

Is it weird or is it amazing? Well, the lead singer did attempt a chorus ideal for Brand New’s latest record? Thus, I'm going for the latter.

My chief complaint would have to be that the vocals weren't recorded well for every song. Maybe this is part of the style--don't ask me, I'm not a musician. What I really love about this album is the consistency of the lyrics. The message gets across and gets across very hard. Secret Bunkers has become one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for putting out some great music, looking forward to more.

Well…mates from Liverpool, looks promising. So, let’s see. Britain in the rain: live instruments clashes the rhyming guys a little bit, but the chorus is melodic, so the thumbs goes up for that one. Retreat – interesting instrumental which sounds like a rehearsal jam so I won’t count it as a serious piece. Big man – quite depressive, headless vocals don’t work good there either. Catch me as you can – very good composition, if only it was recorded better! Secret Bunkers – Nice, Joy division like atmosphere, I think the best one on the record. Generally, it’s hard to say if Earl Grey and The Legomen might be giants or not. It’s just poorly recorded, with vocals too loud and the instruments too quiet. Plooms of Doom it’s a nice teaser, but I will wait for something a bit more professional to recommended it further. For now, it’s fifty-fifty. The cover is cool, and they got one point more for it. It reminds me of The Charlatans or Happy Mondays covers. Too bad the band is not from Madchester ;-) I think their live act maybe interesting. If I got a chance I would go to see it for sure.

Il n'est pas obligatoire de faire du Hip-Hop

Les puriste du Hip-Hop risquent de sourire un peu : les voix ne sont pas renversantes et le tout manque un peu de poids. C'est un peu expédié et un peu approximatif. Enfin, c'est composé et les interprètes sont doués. Je note un peu sévère mais sans regret, le tire Catch Me When You Can mérite largement mieux et c'est donc a la portée de Earl Grey and The Legomen Britain In The Rain : Hip-Hop à moitié chanté avec des vrais instruments. C'est très bien mais les voix ne sont pas toujours convaincantes. Retreat : Un peu anecdotique. Big Man : Bien enlevé, manque juste un peu de perfectionnement. Catch Me When You Can : Vibrant, irradiant et inspiré, voir créatif. Secret Bunkers : On se demande de quel genre c'est mais c'est charmant, enfin en plus dark; il manque sans doute un truc.
