The Temper Trap - The Temper Trap

From the moment I first heard 'Need Your Love', I really didn't think they had it in them to reach previous heights. However, they've done really well here and I think 'Trembling Hands' is the best of these. This album is crucial in solidifying their status as one of Australia's finest rock bands of recent times.

I like it better than I like Conidtions, it's more solid as a whole effort with some different stuff throughout. Though there's nothing as amazing as Sweet Disposition here, Trembling Hands comes close and there's a much higher quantity of strength.

Solid album, standout tracks for me are Trembling Hands, Need Your Love, Where Do We Go From Here & Dreams.

Hervorragendes Album mit vielen wunderbaren Melodien und einer berührenden Stimme. Kommt beinahe ohne Füllmaterial aus.

Tip: Track1 vernachlässigen und direkt mit "King And Lionheart" einsteigen!

Verpasst 6 Sterne, weil es ein wenig zu lang geraten ist. Am Ende quält sich das Album doch etwas bemüht melancholisch. Trotzdem empfehlenswert!

An excellent follow up to Conditions with some real variety offered on this one. The lead singer is really good though, with some great songwriting and vocals which really make this. I like it a lot.

It's hard to talk about this album without inevitably comparing it to their first album. I thought that album was very mixed with highlights in the singles and little else. Though not necessarily with singles, this same trend crosses over to this album to an extent. However, though the highs are not quite as big as "Conditions" (though "Rabbit Hole" is fantastic), the lows are also much more bearable to get through, and less boring. On this basis, I think it succeeds as an album moreso than "Conditions". 4.5
