Rooster

This CD is amazing! There hasn't been a CD released at such a caliber and talent in the USA for a long time. I have over 2000 CDs and this one is at the top somewhere. If you want great rock and roll, then this CD is for you. A MUST HAVE!

Rooster was brilliant. This album made me a fan. Imagine my disappointment upon finding out they are no longer putting out music. Every song on this album is terrific.

I cannot understand the negative reviews that are coming in for the Rooster boys. Why did you sell your ears on eBay? This album is a fantastic album, that blends rock with a little bit of pop, just enough to make pop music lovers (like myself) fall in love with them.I waited almost a year for Rooster's album to get a release in NZ, and it was worth the wait. I love nearly every single track on this strong debut. Members Nick (lead vocals) and Luke (guitar) wrote most of the album tracks, and Ben and Dave provide the instruments to back up Nick's strong sexy voice.So, just what are the good tracks on the album? Well, there are many. For instance, "Drag The Sunrise Down" is what I consider to the album's oustanding track. It's saved right till last, and rightly so. It's a rocking good song with crashing guitars from Luke and brilliant shouty vocals from Nick. You can make up your own mind what the song is supposed to be about. Other outstanding tracks include "Angels Calling" (a rock ballad with aaamazing guitar and vocals, such a sad song), "Deep & Meaningless" (another rock ballad style song but with more of a poppy feel then the rest of the album, was the 4th single off the album), "You're So Right For Me" (the 3rd single, more poppy then anything else, with Luke doing a rocking guitar solo in the middle), "To Die For" (another ballad, I reckon this is about as poppy as the album gets, it's beautiful!), "Platinum Blind" (a rocky song about being broke), "Come Get Some" (the debut single, a simple little rock song that got me into Rooster), "Staring At The Sun" (the second single, an underrated rock song with amazing guitar) and "On The Road" (this is definitely the rockiest song on the album, a heavy track about a road trip).With that many brilliant tracks, you have to think that this is a good album. I love every track, and I love the Rooster boys. I can't wait till they do new material! Rock isn't my genre, but I can make an exception for Rooster since they're so good.

Rooster are a truly amazing bang with Nick Atkinson's vocal making the rock 'n' roll type music seem individual in comparison with other UK rock artists like Franz Fredinand and The Killers.The guitar (Luke Potashnick), bass/backing vocals (Ben Smyth),and drums (Dave Neale) make the music in the songs very powerful, this combines very well with the vocals throughout the album.My personal two favourites are "Come get some," this is quite an upbeat song and also "Deep and meaningless," as the lyrics are very profound. All 12 songs on this album do show alot of character - the way rock should be! I would recommend ths album to anyone that enjoys a good bit of rock 'n' roll. A lot of British bands today have a lot of talent . . . more of my favourites are our long lost Libertines, the Tears and Babyshambles. Enjoy!

This CD is certainly one of my best buys. These guys are really talented, and all of their songs really showcase this. The style is more balladic than hardcore rock, but nevertheless a really sweet album, really good to listen to as well because the style of the music is so smooth. My one complaint with the CD is that after a while the songs seem to sound a tad repetitive, but it's not a big problem if you don't listen to the CD a whole lot at one go. Still, you can be sure that I'll be first in line for their next album, which will hopefully have a broader spectrum and variety of song styles.

THIS IS THE BEST CD I HAVE EVER BOUGHT AND BELIEVE ME I'VE BOUGHT ALOT. I FIRST SAW THIS BAND PREFORM ON A BRITISH TV SHOW CALLED TOP OF THE POPS AND WAS BLOWEN AWAY AT HOW GOOD THE LEAD SINGER WAS AT PREFORMING HE MAKE'S THE CONTESTANTS ON CANADIAN AND AMERICAN IDOL LOOK LIKE AMATURES. THE REST OF THE BAND IS EQUALLY TALENTED. I TOOK A CHANE WITH ONLY HEARING THE TRACK "COME GET SOME" (AWESOME SONG) AND WAS HOOKED ON THIS CD IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT GET IT!! I PROMIS YOU'LL LOVE IT!!

I love Rooster's music. This is by far one of the best albums I have. I think Rooster are probably a mixture of rock/indie band/pop/ballad lol. All of the songs are great but my fave is probably deep and meaningless but other faves are come get some and angels calling. Whats not to like about them, they sound and look great. :)

This is an excellent cd. 'You're so right for me','Standing in line' and 'Come get some' are the best songs but all the cd is on high quality standards. The price's a little too expensive 'cause is an import cd so try to find it in the 'used&new' category.

I hate to say it, but television advertising does work. I hadn't knowingly heard of Rooster or anything by them until I saw an advert for their eponymous debut album. The snippets of songs they played made it sound like the kind of thing I would enjoy, however, and with some Amazon vouchers to spare, it seemed worth a chance.When the album arrived, the sticker on the front filled with effusive praise from all the music magazines seemed only to strengthen by feeling that I'd made the correct choice. But you should no sooner judge a CD by the critics' reviews than you should judge a book by the cover. After all, the critics have been known to get it horribly wrong in the past, recommending music that no ordinary person would listen to. The only way for me to know for sure if I'd made a wise choice was to give the album a listen.Although it seems to be damning Rooster with faint praise, this album proves them to be the ideal successors to Busted's heavy pop crown, even more so than McFly. This may seem slightly ridiculous, as Rooster have a lot more of a rock edge than Busted, but that was the direction that the members of Busted wanted their music to be going in anyway. Rooster are the band that Busted always wanted to be.If you like your rock music to have a pop edge, or your pop music to be loud and involve guitars, Rooster are definitely the band for you. This is good quality pop music with a rock edge that fans of Busted and McFly will appreciate and fans of rock music might not sneer at too much. There are moments that hark back to the days of the 1970s and Free and others that remind me of the stadium rock era of the 1980s. No other boy band, for that is what Rooster are for now, can claim that.This is a very decent pop-rock album with 43 minutes and 12 tracks of decent music. It's not perfect, by any means, as they need to work on getting more of an edge to their ballads and the vocals could be better. But it's a very good start, better than many and I suspect that after a year or two of touring in support of this album, their second will be even better.If there is any justice, Rooster will go on to be as big as both their predecessors, Busted and McFly became. This is a chance to get in at the beginning of what may yet be something big. Buy now, and crow about it later.This review may also appear under my name at any or all of www.ciao.co.uk, www.thebookbag.co.uk, www.goodreads.com, www.amazon.co.uk and www.dooyoo.co.uk

As the title says, this album is amazing in my opinion there isn't a bad track on it and listening to their 2nd album too (Circles and Satellites) I think they were one of the unluckiest bands out there to not get further than they did. Being tarred with the same brush as the likes of Busted and Mcfly due to their photogenic looks, totally took away their credit as good rock musicians. All around brilliant rock songs with a commercial potential.From the emotional darker song 'Drag the Sunrise Down' to the more uplifting sounding 'Platinum Blind' this band deserved better and you should all buy this CD. No question about it.

I only discovered this group just before they split. It is soft rock. On the road was in the film Stormbreaker as was Good to be here. it has some brilliants songs on this album.

What a cracking CD this is with many stand out tracks but you would be hard pushed to beat 'Staring at the Sun' they don't make like this anymore

CD Case was broken unsure if this was in transit, CD itself was in working order
