Scott DavidsonThe debut album from England's Hard-Fi is nothing short of amazing. Hard-Fi spits out high-energy, moody guitar riffs and driving drum beats that combine to make a unique experience throughout the entire album. The album opens with the catchy tune "Cash Machine", which appeals to more than just the indie crowd. The last three songs are where the album really shines. "Feltham is Singing Out" out with a drum beat and bass riff that makes it sound like a rap song, but it quickly returns to the dark rock sound of the rest of the album. "Living For the Weekend" is an all-out party song that could appeal to just about anyone. ("Living for The Weekend can even be heard on an episode of CSI). The album closes with a the emotional "Stars of CCTV". The lyrics of this song tell a story of a man who commits some kind of crime just to appear on camera.(A security camera in this case) Overall, "Stars of CCTV" is a great album, with little or no problems what-so-ever. It is a must own for anyone looking for something original to listen to.
