Album Review: No Sound Without Silence by The Script

After 2 years lost without the distinguished sound of Irish pop/rock group, The Script, we can finally burst out an elated hell yeah as the band have now released their latest album, No Sound Without Silence. Whilst The Script have held on tight to an almost indie/rock sound defining their distinctive style down to a tea, with songs like Man on a Wire and Without These Songs, they've branched out, favourably creating songs with different themes to appeal to virtually anyone. You have sweet songs like Never Seen Anything "Quite Like You" which contrasts with lyrical, evocative tracks such as Flares, that connects particularly with individuals who've had a troubled background, telling them that there is someone out there to help, they’re not alone and that they can fight the weakness that threatens to consume them. Hail Rain or Sunshine is jovial, genial and strongly rooted with a Celtic- folk background. You can imagine going to a party/club and using the song to cajole someone to dance, the way you urge your mates to get off their butts and dance because what's the point in a party if you don't enjoy yourself?

It's not just these few tracks that illuminate the adulation truly deserved of this album. The latest single, superheroes, is electric; if you simply plug your headphones in and sit listening to this song you're bound to be itching to move, to raise your hand in the air and rock it above you head, shaking your head like this is the first song you can really connect to with serious conviction.

Of course what I’m saying is all very positive and I don't expect you to relate to my stories or in any way feel strongly towards the music; after all it's only my opinion. But then aren't all reviews just opinionated comments by the writer?

If the artwork is enough to enthral the senses, then the beguiling beauty of this album is sure to have you lulled by this band's soulful sound. Public opinion can attest to its brilliance having shown that within the first week of release No Sound Without Silence was able to hit Number 1. Take a chance, listen to this album and revel in the artistry of these talented artists; it would be a shame if anyone were to push that away.
