Modern, mature rock at its finest

"Few bands today have the guts to write a real rock record anymore. The type of albums that ebb and flow from fast to slow songs creating a unique listening experience. On Silent Radar, The Watchmen have created the sort of record that doesn't hit you over the head with ridiculous rock riffs or sappy love ballads, these guys write rock songs with being, middles and ends with the sort of guitar, bass and drum playing that will make anyone throw a Backstreet Boys cd out the window. Daniel Greaves vocal always emit emotions without becomming sappy, on Any Day Now he cries out for his boredom to end without sounding overly sentimental. From the opening Pearl Jam sounding rocker Stereo to the hauntingly beautiful closer Brighter Hell, Silent Radar is a record any fan of mature rock must have."

"I see them in the september on MTV and two days ago the album is in the shops here in germany. I think: Try it! when its not good, you can swap the cd and take the new from the New Model Army. Hey - its 48 hours and 20 and 20 times of hearing later and The Watchmens "Silent Radar" still stay here. Only the fabulous Ghost Of An American Airman are so great. True GREAT"

Very Good

"One of The Watchmen's finest work. The album flows very well, from tight enrgitic tunes, to slower echoing ballads. If you are an American you should jump at the opportunity to see or listen to this band. The Watchmen rock., and Silent Radar is always great for any road trip. A must have for your collection."
