THE CAT EMPIRE [VINYL]

Vinyl is just as good as it's always been!It was a Christmas present for my brother. He loves it!

What can I say cat empire are awesome its such a brilliant mixture of all types of music from all eras and all over the world. The lyrics have everything from love to political statements to world peace with a good sprinkling of humour

Great album

wasn't the version listed with the european extra track, so low feedback. came in working otrder, but not worth this price without being an import. feel robbed.

Well first things first, I'm not writing this because I've just bought the album and love it to bits. Im writing this review because I bought the album over a year ago and love it to bits.I love the way most of these songs are related to things that have happened to the band for example, track 1. How To Explain, written about the crowds at all the gigs the band has played, track 2. Days Like These, written about the fun-filled days they have all experienced and what makes life worth living. Track 4. The Chariot, written as a stand against all the war currently in the world, track 7. The Rhythm, about meeting the most amazing girl ever. I could go on.The Cat Empire's debut album is a show case of all the genres of music they incorporate, a perfect blend of jazz, salsa, reggae, funk and hip-hop with a few others thrown in for good measure.The album itself is well structured, as soon as you may be getting tired of the upbeat feel there is a change. The album has an opening that will blow you away, a slow 3rd track, a bright and exciting middle to the album with 3 of the last 5 tracks giving a more relaxed mood yet still full of energy.I can't think of any weak points to this album, the trumpet will send a shiver down your spine and every track will make you smile at the clever lyrics.

and that's a live Cat Empire gig.A great intro to the band.They're a bit of an odd sound on first listen but will soon have you smiling, toe tapping and singing at the top of your voice!Buy it!!

I just bought this only to find that the copy protection makes it impossible to listen to this on my ipod. Think carefully before buying, as it is not a normal format cd and may not work on your cd player. You also are required to install software to listen to it on your pc.

Rumour has it that the NHS will soon be prescribing this album instead of anti-depressants. I don't know a single person who has been able to listen to this album without involuntarily grinning like a maniac, and, more often than not, dancing around the room. Enough has been said already about the mix of musical styles - just don't try to give it a genre in itunes. Soundtrack of the summer - thank god for distant Australian cousins!
