Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Fratellis hooked me with their 2007 debut album, "Costello Music." Their second offering failed, in my opinion, to up the ante. But after a break, this British band returns with another strong effort in "We Need Medicine." It plays on the strengths of the debut and shows a more mature, confident band. The Fratellis aren't afraid to infuse their music with hints of their influences, but this new collection certainly sounds up to date.

I was so excited when I heard these guys were getting back together. Every album they put out they seem to shoot for a new angle. As much as I love their debut album, it really only hits one sort of sound, but this album can go multiple directions. The storytelling lyrics are still as good as ever, even if it does go into a darker place than before and their musical experimentation pays off. Definitely worth a listening to

The boys are back. While this record is better than their second, it's still nowhere near their debut. For fans of the fratellis, the take away point is that they are back.
