The Script -

When I first heard “Breakeven” on the radio a few months back, I thought to myself, “Who is this?” My ideas bounced from Maroon 5 to Jason Mraz to One Republic to Coldplay, but this band didn’t sound specifically like any one of them. This music was unique – the vocals were just beautiful. I was stumped and anticipated that once this song came to an end, the station would hopefully state the name of the band and the name of the song. That radio station certainly did. The Script was a whole new name to me. After scoping out this band on You Tube, I not only came to the conclusion that this band is totally fierce, but also that I had to get this album.

The Script album is pretty amazing and enjoyable from start to finish – easily one of the best albums I’ve ever had. It’s not very often that a band has the ability to create an array of songs on an album that are all so good, and yet so different from one another. Each song has something uniquely stimulating about it, and the stories in this band’s songs can be related to by the listener in some way or another. This strong and diverse collection includes songs with Reggae or even Rap-like persuasion, “Have You Seen Kay,” “Together We Cry,” The catchy song “Rusty Halo,” took me back to the days of Sting and the Police, as it had almost a pop rock to even a punk rock feel. Ironically as well, the lead singer’s voice resembles Sting’s voice slightly in “The End Where I Begin.”

The Script’s emotions explode through the vocals and musical accompaniment in the strong ballads “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Talk You Down,” which both pull right at the heart. In “Fall For Anything” the lead singer and band sing and play a pep talk to all those girls who fall for the wrong guy and his stunts again and again. “Breakeven” and “Before the Worst” are just two other Script powerhouse songs that rock on this album and show off this great band’s versatility.

Just as unique as each song they’ve created, this band is extraordinary. Not only are the lead vocals and harmonies so unbelievably beautiful with the lead singer’s incredible vocal range; but also the instrumental accompaniment of The Script’s music (guitar, piano, strings, percussion, bass, etc.) perfectly accents each and every song. This band is so very talented; I can’t wait to watch them get bigger and bigger.

Really enjoyed the songs “The man who can’t be moved” and “breakeven.” I almost didn’t buy it based on the reviews from this site. One person said it had a lot of foul language. I have listened to the album many times, often not even removing it from the player, and have only found one bad word.

Good sounding band, reminds me a lot of Maroon 5.

Hope this helps…

If you like their singles “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Breakeven” then you’ll love the entire album. So what are you waiting for? You’re already a Script fan, go pick up a copy! =D

The only surprise to me was one particular song had the F-Bomb in it, and I didn’t realize they were the type of band to say those things. I’m just a little surprised there wasn’t a “Parental Advisory” logo on the album somewhere. I buy “Parental Advisory” CDs all the time, so it didn’t bother me, but I’m just saying this as a ‘heads-up’ to anyone who might be bothered by it.
