It just sounds like a poorer, radio-friendly poppier version of 'Dalston', what with the crazy build up and the tiny breakdown etc.
I know i should have expected it, but when nme rates this as single of the week over the Arcade Fire you must wonder what they see in this band.

set for number 1 apparently.

gotta love the "she asked me my name, i told her what it waaaaas". er, well done mate.

I thought it sounded like a pish version of 'Rat Trap'.

Thank God someone else noticed the Boomtown Rats in there!
I was thinking of 'I Don't Like Mondays' myself.

As a work of derivitive unimagination, it's actually quite nice and listenable

Is this the band Ulrika Jonnson's in?

am I the only one here who's noticed that the Smashing Pumpkins have been defamed here?

!

I guess no one really cares these days.

*sigh*

(fools)

Has no-one else noticed how much this sounds like Ocean Colour Scene??! Disturbing. They were always shit, but this is a new low. And yet, I can't get it out of my head. Bastards.

Actually laughed out loud reading polko's comment "she asked me my name, i told her what it waaaaas". er, well done mate. hahahaha, the fellas having a right laugh! Yeah,useless lyrics but a naughty little hook!

I like this record.

How the fuck can you compare this toss pile with anything that the pumpkins ever created, even Adore. Borrell should go fuck a pineapple.

Is this REALLY gonna go into No. 1 in the charts? Seriously, I do really do like Razorlight, and I'd like it to...But if it doesn't, hey...No huge loss!

The first time I heard it I thought it was okay, but my opinion of it has gone down every time I heard it since. Processing your acoustic guitars to death maketh not a good song.

Come on, even Corgan at his lowest point has never written anything as fucking boring as this.

I seem to come off like I hate The Pumpkins way too much. I don't. Honest. I love them.

I was never a fan of The Pumpkins. Just bored me to death, really. I love Razorlight but this song is pretty terrible. The song it is backed with is pretty good though.

I hate Myself for Quite Liking Razorlight
Its not that I really like them I just think they’re alright
I mean the guy can write a half decent tune
Even though the lyrics are inane
And even though all their songs sound pretty much the same
I mean they’re obviously not about anything much
He’s obviously written them off the top of his head
And the only really good one is Golden Touch
But I can see why they do as well as they do
Because people just want something they can sing along to

For anyone that cares...This came in at No. 2 in the end.

I think that it should have been number 1 but it is only personal opinion. I really liked the single and hope to see a new album in the not too distant future.

Razorlight are awsome, i don't care what anyone thinks because i love to listen to 'em and Jonny Borrell is the coolest guy ever to have walked this earth! Somewhere else is fantastic!

I have to say (well I don't, but I will!) that I am another who likes Razorlight. They seem inoffensive to me especially compared to the horrors produced by Oasis over the years.
They aren't pushing many envelopes anywhere but this is infinitely preferable on the radio to Busted and Rooster.

Although I like Razorlight to say that Somewhere Else is twice as good as anything Bloc Party have put out is risable. BP are truly exciting and certainly are trying to push sounds into new and exciting areas - good on them.

I note that Somewhere Else has been compared to the Boomtown Rats on this thread - am I the only one who think Golden Touch is a direct lift of the Cure's 10.15 Saturday Night riff?

(I claim my prize!)

Id like to ask all those who dont like razorlight (because there seems to be a lot of you losers), 'WHY?!' Whats not to like about them?!

i know wot u mean!!! I LUUUUV razorlight!!!
