<I>The Way I Feel Today</I> is where Six by Seven's career veers off the Radiohead trajectory. Their second album, 2000's brooding and accomplished <I>The Closer You Get</I> may have drawn parallels with <I>The Bends</I>, but this new one is no <I>OK Computer</I>. Instead, the Nottingham band have decided to consolidate their sound, playing up on the big emotional numbers, and are headed for territory occupied by later Oasis or Stereophonics when they stop sounding like Rod Stewart. That's not necessarily a bad idea: the moody epic "All My New Best Friends" burns with a slow fuse, as Embrace are always attempting to do, while "Speed Is In / Speed Is Out" veers erratically between a Girls Versus Boys glower-fest and straight-edge punk. Any more of this, and they could be filling those vacated stadiums. <I>--Everett True</I>Album Description
Nottingham's finest rock export, indignant guitars, hair-raising slabs of noise and morosely passionate love songs. 11 tracks. 2002.Customer Reviews:
One of the albums of 2002.......2003-02-15
So Close - Begins with piano and voice but builds into a wall of sound, haunting, cage-rattling number just as many on the last album.
IOU Love - Very un-Six By Seven. Very beautiful, passionate love song. I absolutely adored it until I realised it owes more than a passing debt to "Love Song" by The Cure. Still, however, by all accounts an amazing track.
All My New Best Friends - A beautiful acoustic ballad, again untypical of the band. Lovely, though, a nocturnal beauty resides in it - reminiscent of the acoustic tracks on Radiohead's The Bends.
Flypaper For Freaks - "I never promised you ... !" screams Chris Olley to open this track before a cacophony of mad guitars enter. Here's a really heavy, thrashalong, punky track.
Speed Is In/Speed Is Out - Veers between tight, controlled menace of the verses and the all-out undiluted screaming fury of the brilliant bridge and chorus.
Karen O - A throbbing bass beat and layers of guitars give it a very Six By Seven-ish feel, but this seems to me one of the weaker tracks overall.
American Beer - A perfect centerpiece. Heartbreaking, building beauty of a song - "Nobody told me it would be like this/nobody showed me how to care". Fantastic lyrics, great music...the best track they've ever done I'd say.
Anyway - An upbeat, cool rock song which is great for a singalong.
The Way I Feel Today - A cathartic track of getting over a broken heart and being happy and free. Really joyful, and accompanied by that wall of sound again.
Cafeteria Rats - Thrashing, nasty track with a brilliantly sneered vocal from Chris Olley.
Bad Man - Another fast, angry punky one. Not the greatest to close on, but not bad either.
