Written on August 1, 2007 Summary: Not like the Amazon.com Review This is just an album that I put off buying for a long time, but eventually got around to it. I was glad to find out that Robbers & Cowards is an exceptional album by this band. I don't think I have ever read a more misleading Amazon.com review of an album. There are a dozen bands that sound exactly like each other. The key is creating a refreshing sound... not reinventing a sound. Cold War Kids play simple, stripped down, rock & roll. They rely on their vocals and lyrics just as much as the music (something The Strokes never do). Furthermore, this is the kind of stuff that the White Stripes wish they could accomplish. "Elefant" (supposedly their most acclaimed album) basically immitated early Who albums. If you can get past the band name and just listen to the music, I think you'll find this album very enjoyable. FYI: "Passing the Hat" sounds more like a Dispatch song being sung by Jeff Buckley. I would think both aspects of that statement is a compliment to the band and a testament to the lead vocalist.  Written on July 5, 2007 Summary: Originality Done Right People who call the CWK's just another name in a long list of Indie group's that are bound to fail are terribly off in their thinking. The CWK's use a plethora of musical influences in their songs, creating a sound that still maintains a strong Indie feel but also has a bluesy-pop sound throughout every song. Every song is filled with wonderful melodies that mix beautifully with the shrill of the lead singer Nathan Willett's voice. The voice of Willett is actually what makes the band sound so unique.. One song on the CD, "Saint John," starts off with a simple bass line and drum beat, but takes a new shape once Willett begans singing.. His voice functions almost like another instrument in the song, and the tempo change from chorus to verse gives the song an unpredictable feel that complements the lyrics.. The CWK's create complexity with simplicity and should be around for more than one album... Written on June 18, 2007 Summary: What is going on? I've never written a review on Amazon, but I feel compelled in this case. People are comparing Cold War Kids to Maroon 5? The Strokes? Do these people listen to music they're not told to? Sure, Maroon 5 adds a touch of soul to pop and The Strokes are a great band that relies on catchy '80's-style hooks, but CWK is something else entirely. They're rock first, with a Mississippi Delta influence. The lyrics are unique in that they tell of the human condition, although not necessarily first hand. Wonderful music combined with touching lyrics equals a great band. They are indeed one of the best live bands around, as I discovered them opening for Editors at The Fillmore, but the sound translates perfectly to home. Maybe you don't dig the sound, but comparing them to some other random band doesn't make any sense. They have a style that might not be completely original, as Delta Spirit and a few other bands are of the same vein, but CWK does it the best, and with the most feeling. Written on June 17, 2007 Summary: These Kids Grew On Me I was introduced to this album by my cousin, whose brother and the band members are friends. Initially to me, they sounded like Franz Ferdinand, but with a more interesting sound to their music. At the same time, there were elements of Maroon 5's soul rock, but Cold War Kids created their own alternative (indie) rock music, completely unique and completely different from all the groups out there now. Most impressive. The lyrics in most of their songs sound like a twisted reflection of life, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. I found their music very refreshing as compared to all the groups out there now. Out of all the tracks, I enjoyed Robber, Red Wine, Success, We Use To Vacation and Hang Me Up To Dry. This album really grew on me to the point that I'm asking myself to look-out for the dates they're dropping by for a concert! Written on June 1, 2007 Summary: Ehh I bought this CD because I loved "Hang me up to dry" and "St. John" but the only other song that I'm really into on the whole thing is "We used to vacation". Other than that I'm not overly impressed. I love their sound I just wish I liked more of the tracks. |
