Very disappointing. Was expecting much better. 1 maybe 1 1/2 good songs. A poor-mans Radiohead, that can barely play their instruments.

"Cold War Kids-Robbers & Cowards *****



Robbers & Cowards just might be one of the very best albums this reviewer has ever heard. Vocal lines that could rival anything in the history of music. Melodies that melt like butter. Lyrics that are among some of the most personal, nicely crafted, and all around brilliant. Cold War Kids nailed it with Robbers & Cowards.



Opening with 'We Used To Vacation' and then segueing directly into the albums single hit, the beyond amazing 'Hand Me Out To Dry.' First off, the opener kills and the latter is among the very top songs I have ever heard. It blows my mind every time I hear it. Genius lyrics defined. Oh, the vocals are nothing to gawk at either. 'Saint John' is in a class of it's own. Brilliant in all the overzealous meanings of the word. A hymme but more sinful. 'Hospital Beds' is possibly the best songs I have heard in the last ten years. Those are just a few of the highlights. The whole album is incendiary so it would seem trite to indulge in the greatness of each track.



The bottom line here folks is that Robbers & Cowards is one of the more originally great albums to emerge from rock n' roll in the last ten years. Scratch that...make that ever."
