Follow-up to The Script's debut album from Dubliners Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power. "For The First Time" is the lead track and is the inspirational key to The Script’s second album Science & Faith - an addictive blend of hip hop rhythms, flowing melodies, sparkling hooks and poignant, story-spinning lyrics, with Danny’s mellifluous soulful vocals riding high over huge, anthemic choruses. Finding weighty, emotion-packed mini-epics came thick and fast, Science & Faith is far from a difficult second album. (Amazon)
When Script first exploded on the scene in 2008, I wasn't a huge fan and it wasn't really until they released their third single, Breakeven that I decided to check them out properly. I was pleasantly surprised and they quickly joined my collection of alternative artists such as Keane, Coldplay and U2. When Nothing was released late last year, I eagerly awaited their new album despite being disappointed by the lead track For the First Time when it was released in September, but I was very pleased with my purchase when I finally downloaded it just after Christmas.
As I said, Nothing was almost an instant hit for me, with beautiful melodies and a cracking chorus and while initially disliking For the First Time, it has since grown on me. If You Ever Come Back has a very similar sound to Nothing but the lyrics didn't seem to speak to me as much as the latter. This = Love is one of my favourite tracks from the album, with really rhythmic versus and an explosive, catchy chorus. I usually find the title tracks are often one of the worst numbers on the album but Science & Faith is an exceptionally good tune!
The album isn't quite as eclectic as their first album, The Script, but is packed full of brilliant songs that will have you toe tapping for hours. If you loved the 2008 album, you'll love this too. Buy it at iTunes, here.
