I'd read in The Sun about 6-8 weeks ago that they had knocked the ball out of the park and boy have they ever. XFM has the full album up for stream on the site and I've loved every single track thus far. This is right up there with The Good Will Out.. perhaps even better although that will require more than one cursory listen.

Haven't heard anything about a US release yet, so I am tempted to import.

Listen fools!

Don't like it. Sounds way too much like Coldplay (and their spinoff bands)..music is nice but a little cliched. Vocals aren't anything original.

 

[Meier]

Embrace was founded well before Coldplay. I suppose you could say Coldplay sounds like Embrace (although I disagree as their music is much more upbeat/uplifting as opposed to Coldplay's typically melancholy sound).

 

[etiolate]

There is a lot of Coldplay-esque bands, especially in GB. Coldplay just happens to be the one that has made the biggest splash.

Check out this Bloc Party song

My girlfriend has The Good Will Out, which is not bad IMO. This one sounds pretty similar (also sounds like A Rush of Blood to the Head at times but the tunes aren't as good), I think this one has better production though. I like Wish it All Away, and Gravity is a good song but you can tell it's written by someone else.

 

[Meier]

Chris Martin and Danny McNamara are best mates so he wrote Gravity for them. I think the best tune is Spell It Out.

Got it on the mail today -- had to import it since it seems like no US release plans are on the horizon but it was worth every penny.

Embrace - Out of Nothing = amazing

Agreed.

 

[swoon]

there is only one embrace, and they sure as fuck aren't embrace.
