The Maccabees- Given to the Wild ALBUM REVIEW

Listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdNC9FVWdBk

The Maccabees go into its third album with a smoother sound, more atmosphere, and an overall glossier recording.

What do you think of this album? Love it? Hate it? Why? What should I review next, eh?

Please consider reviewing the new Leonard Cohen!

And Patrick Watson!

[thazzchair]

LEONARD COHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, how often do you get to review a new Leonard (Freakin') Cohen album? Jump on it!!

[TWFAN97]

completley disagree, the album is actually amazing!

[oldbean77]

i totally agreed with you the first 2 times i listened to the album, but after the 3rd listen, i LOVED it. the album is a textbook grower, the real quality of the songs take ages to reveal itself to you. GO BACK. listen to it again and again. and youll get there.

[therevolvercolombia]

I like it more than the other albums, but it's because is better for my taste

[yesnokeigh]

this album is so mediocre. they're first album is the shit though

[antimattermind]

some great songs in this album, great work in production but singer voice is very coldplay-ish then so boring.anyway they could become great in the future

[AndreaskaseSkate]

and I know he mentioned Foals in this video. Just had to share my opinion, haha.

btw: I LOVE this album

[AndreaskaseSkate]

I would say this is a typical indie situation...Like what FOALS did.

They had their first album, which was full off power and it was damn fast..Than they move over to playing slow, artistic indie music... It's a thing that happends when band actually really know what they're doing without relying on someone elses opinion. So I would compare them to what FOALS did. Maccabees had their great first album, devolped and are now more secure on what they are doing + the artistic way of revealing it.

@gingerrokker Oh, ok. I just am not interested in the band so much, so I don't follow, but I remember seeing the word hiatus next to them.

I'm a big Maccabees fan but I have to say your review was exact thoughts on this album. Still a grower but not the album I was hoping for. Good work again, Anthony.
