Razorlight - Razorlight

Runners-up in ITV's Saturday evening sensation 'Rock Academy', Razorlight return with another album packed with paeans to being a cool rockstar, following the phenomenal success of 'Up All Night'. The band's crack team of Scandinavian songwriters come up trumps with jaunty lead single In The Morning, with lines such as "the songs on the radio all sound the same" delivered with impressively straight faces, and the central line "...you know you won't remember a thing" already destined for classic status among the Rohypnol set. Meanwhile, Back To The Start borrows Futureheads' "oh oh oh oh oh" for it's inventive choral hook, and America is the ballad, as stipulated - a delicate tear-jerker about being hungover and having to watch rubbish Stateside telly. Already, rumours of the third album are rife: with songs about drunkenly trashing hotel rooms, and the pros and cons of becoming drug-addled rockstar martyrs having allegedly already been penned. Can you seperate the fact from the fiction? [Ally Brown]
