Starsailor - On The Outside

Starsailor - On The Outside

This third release from Starsailor sees the band finally establishing a personalised style to their music. Whilst the first drew comparisons to another UK band - Coldplay -, the second saw the band try a little too hard to break away from the stereotype. This resulted in a messy effort which failed as an album.

Back to the present, "On The Outside" is a tighter offering - from the driving first single "In The Crossfire" to the Bon Jovi sounding "Faith Hope Love" to the second single "This Time". The only let down, like in the previous two albums is the lack of consistency throughout the album. Still, this is an enjoyable effort filled with lots of potential indie anthems.
