Album Description
2009 U.S. release. The Script is made up of three Irish lads from Dublin who are now currently based out of London, England. The trio's music boasts the kind of artful twists sure to turn all preconceptions on their head. This is a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending Hip Hop lyrical flow with Pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R&B production with anthemic Rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives. It's got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish sea, but it is glittering in its modernity, universal in its singalong addictiveness and global in its syncopation, music for the feet, heart and head. This 11 track album showcases the band's fine talent with a batch of beautifully written songs. Epic.

 The Script March 26, 2010

When I first heard "Breakeven" on the radio a few months back, I thought to myself, "Who is this?" My ideas bounced from Maroon 5 to Jason Mraz to One Republic to Coldplay, but this band didn't sound specifically like any one of them. This music was unique - the vocals were just beautiful. I was stumped and anticipated that once this song came to an end, the station would hopefully state the name of the band and the name of the song. That radio station certainly did. The Script was a whole new name to me. After scoping out this band on You Tube, I not only came to the conclusion that this band is totally fierce, but also that I had to get this album.
The Script album is pretty amazing and enjoyable from start to finish - easily one of the best albums I've ever had. It's not very often that a band has the ability to create an array of songs on an album that are all so good, and yet so different from one another. Each song has something uniquely stimulating about it, and the stories in this band's songs can be related to by the listener in some way or another. This strong and diverse collection includes songs with Reggae or even Rap-like persuasion, "Have You Seen Kay," "Together We Cry," The catchy song "Rusty Halo," took me back to the days of Sting and the Police, as it had almost a pop rock to even a punk rock feel. Ironically as well, the lead singer's voice resembles Sting's voice slightly in "The End Where I Begin."
The Script's emotions explode through the vocals and musical accompaniment in the strong ballads "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" and "Talk You Down," which both pull right at the heart. In "Fall For Anything" the lead singer and band sing and play a pep talk to all those girls who fall for the wrong guy and his stunts again and again. "Breakeven" and "Before the Worst" are just two other Script powerhouse songs that rock on this album and show off this great band's versatility.
Just as unique as each song they've created, this band is extraordinary. Not only are the lead vocals and harmonies so unbelievably beautiful with the lead singer's incredible vocal range; but also the instrumental accompaniment of The Script's music (guitar, piano, strings, percussion, bass, etc.) perfectly accents each and every song. This band is so very talented; I can't wait to watch them get bigger and bigger.

The Script is a group that is new to me (perhaps because they hail from Ireland). The tracks on this disc are so varied that you think you're not listening to the same group. From the "Man who Can't Be Moved" which is destined for pop/easy listening radio superstardom to "I'm Yours" which sounds like Keith Urban country ballad.
This group is guaranteed greatness--if you like Coldplay, Snow Patrol or Kings of Leon then check this album out.

New Favorite Band!! January 8, 2010

Isn't it funny how music affects people in different ways? I fell in love with "The Man Who Can't be Moved" on Satellite radio. Found out the band was going to be in San Diego doing a benefit and went....was totally blown away,(Even got to meet Danny, the lead singer) bought the CD and haven't stopped listening to it. My new favorite band....they are AMAZING live and I am anxiously awaiting their 2nd CD. Out of the 10 songs, I would say there are 6-7 that I LOVE and only a handful that I fast forward through.
