    Good Points: Classic tracks which will maintain popularity for at least this generation.
    wide variety of music exploration from the pop-rock sound of 'gotta reason' to the mellow stripped back feel of 'stars of CCTV'


    Bad Points: Hard to find fault except possibly seven nation army which to me personally was of no real relevance to this album except the opening 30 secs with the instantly recognisable instrumental of Hard-Fi


    General comments: Definitely an album you would leave lying around when you have company over. This is definitely an anthem in itself. The way in which lifes struggles are depicted in a confronting style really does cause a change of emotion within yourself which is what makes music so enjoyable to be in and around.

    Stars of CCTV by Hard-Fi may be my least favourite album ever. Due to its omnipresence on AOR and MOR radio everywhere I am so sick of the sound of this band that I have actually considered puncturing my own ear drums. This is a boring combination of two-tone and post-Madchester psychedelic indie disco influenced by the likes of Loaded-era Primal Scream, Happy Mondays and early Verve. Unfortunately, Hard-Fi have taken all the boring cliches and none of the innovation.

    They write plodding sl ...

    What a massive album! I don't think there is a weak tune. Hard-Fi, Stars of CCTV is powerful catchy and varied. But that is not all the words are really good meaningful relevant political messages about the underclass we send to Iraq or lock-up in Feltham when we notice them!

    They are not clever, they are not new/different . They are only average players.
    On the good side the lyrics are fun and the songs are great.
    Better production would be nice then again maybe the roughish production was done to give it a more indie fill.
    A above average likeable first album

    Hard-Fi are part of the growing cadre of new British guitar bands, but, unlike their compatriots such as Franz Ferdinand, the Kaiser Chiefs or The Departure, rather than taking their cues from new wave, post punk and 1980's indie, they've instead turned to Two-Tone and ska as well as the more moody elements of the Clash and the danceable rhythms of the Happy Mondays for their influences. Far from sounding like Specials copycats, however, what they've produced is unqiue and catchy indie rock abo ...
