I had never heard of this band. Album sort of annoyed me, can’t put my finger on why. After listening, I immediately forgot what it sounded like.

Never before heard of the band and album. It's a pleasing mix of folk and psychedelic rock, enriched with some elements from other genres like ska. The voice of the singer sometimes reminded me of Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß from German band Beatsteaks. Won't listen to it again, but it weren't wasted 34 minutes.
This is pretty decent for a "The" band from the early '00s. The psychedelic side of the band is nice and they provide a good update of the genre. Singer voice is great, his inflections sometimes reminds me of Ryan Kattner of Man Man, and it definitely plays a role in the "sea shanty" feeling of some of the songs. When they mix their sound with ska/reggae, it's a bit more dull though (at least they don't sing with a fake Jamaican accent like Sting).
Some good tunes! Not sure that I’d ever listened to The Coral before
A band from the Liverpool area with psychedelic overtones, discovered playing in the Cavern Club - no, not those guys, it’s the Coral. Really enjoyed the mish mash of styles on this, sung in a Jim Morrison sort of style. Opening your debut album with a piratey shanty is a bold move, but one I like. Great stuff!
Sehr spannendes Album - mal erinnert es an die Beatsteaks ("I remember when", eins meiner Lieblingslieder auf diesem Album), dann taucht plötzlich russische Folklore auf (immer noch "I remember when") und überall schwingt 60er/70er Psychedelic mit. Kaum zu glauben, dass das Album erst so "jung" ist, aber mir macht es Lust auf mehr. Definitiv eine Entdeckung, auf die ich selbst nicht gekommen wäre 😊
Never heard of them. Hmmmh, interesting. It’s harmonious and varied enough to keep me engaged and not it’s not annoying. There’s some parts with too many repetitions but I can stand it. I think, I like the last song on the album ‘Calendars and Clocks’ the most.
This is one of those "wouldn't it be cool if" kinds of art works. Wouldn't it be cool if we sounded like the Beach Boys, man? And for the next track let's like do like a surf-rock but make it like modern you know? I have not felt a single emotion listening to all this. Just reminds me of all that pretentious indie that was going around in that era of rock and roll. It's two stars because it is technically competent, but that's all it is.
A surprising discovery for me! After listening to the album of the day, I listen to their latest album, which I also liked, maybe more than the album of the day.
Terrible.
This album brings back memories. I heard the song "Dreaming Of You" on the TV Show "Scrubs" and had to find out who wrote it. The album is good, I listened to it a lot back then and it still holds up.
Never heard of these guys. Are they culturally significant or talented enough to make a “must listen” list? I guess it’s better than another album from The Police.
