On this review I will be reviewing the new Proclaimers album which was released on 10th August last month. It's their eleventh studio album by 'The Proclaimers' called "Angry Cyclist".
The Proclaimers are a Scottish folk, rock duo of two twin identical brothers 'Charlie Reid', and 'Craig Reid'. They are best known for their hit "I'm Gonna Be(500 Miles)", "Sunshine On Leith", "I'm On My Way", and "Letter From America". Their singing style with a strong Scottish accent. The pair came to public when an Inverness based fan sent their demo to an English band called "The Housemartins" who liked them and invited 'The Proclaimers' on their UK tour. They appeared on a Channel 4 music show called 'The Tube'. I am not a big fan of them I only like two of their songs "Im Gonna Be (500 Miles)" and "I'm On My Way" From the 80s/90s they have released good songs. The Proclaimers first US television debut was on the David Letterman show where they performed "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)". Discussing about their discography they have released eleven studio albums. I have only heard few of their albums not all of them. They have released albums like "This Is The Story", "Sunshine On Leith" which is one of the albums I have heard. I thought it was a good album defintley their best album. "Hit The Highway" another one of the albums I have heard from them I think it's okay it's not better than "Sunshine On Leith". They have released other albums like "Persevere", "Like Comedy" and many more. 3 years later they are back with their eleventh studio album "Angry Cyclist". After hearing "Angry Cyclist" what did I think of it? Im just not to keen on this album if I'm being honest. I just think it's bland it kind of sounds the same if i'm being honest. I just think it's bland and uninteresting. But the track "Streets Of Edinburgh" is defintley the best track on the album. But this album is just bland. Their previous albums from late 80s/90s are much better.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Streets Of Edinburgh" which I thought was a brilliant track on the album. Fantastic track good lyrics great guitars. "You Make Me Happy" which is a decent produced track it's not that bad. And "Information" Which is a mediocre track not a strong track but it's still one of my favourites. My least favourite track "Stretch" I just think it's bland boring this track.
Overall the album was a disappointment. It was a let down. I do not see myself listening to this album again. I am giving the album a 4/10.
