Customer Reviews

This one really grew on me!
First of all - yes, I'm a long-standing Runrig fan. However, the first time I slapped this into the CD player I have to say that I was not as impressed as I had been on first listening to The Stamping Ground and Proterra (the previous two mind-bogglingly brilliant albums). Some of the tracks sounded slightly familiar, and (apart from the fabulous and darkly atmospheric In Scandinavia) didn't make a massive impression.
However, I decided to put the CD in the car, and as a result of a long journey ended up listening to it several times in succession, and am I glad that I did! Once I picked up some of the words, I was singing my head off to the up-tempo tracks such as Year of the Flood and Clash of the Ash (dangerous trying to dance whilst driving). The slower songs like Ocean Road and Something's Got to Give stayed with me for days (cue annoying humming at work - apologies to my colleagues).
Basically, Runrig have done what they do best - created a bunch of tracks that will stand up to repeated listening over the years (no matter what your mood), but most importantly (as I subsequently discovered) sound AMAZING live.
So, if you have ever liked a Runrig album in the past - give this one a try, and if you don't think it's great the first time, keep trying!

Everything you see (Runrig)
As a Runrig fan and there are lots more out there will be pleased to get their hands on this brand new album.It's been a long time in coming,but worth waiting for.All their previous albums have all been good but I think this is the best yet excellent.

I thought they would have a tough job in replacing 'Donnie munro'.But to my surprise they have found a perfect replacement in 'Bruce Guthro' he's brilliant.

All I can say to your customers is buy this album it's brilliant and you won't be disappointed.

Excellent
I'm listening to the album as I write this review and every verse I hear just confirms how good it is. All songs are very strong, with Clash of the Ash, Sona, Scandanavia and Something's Got To Give standing out. This album is rockier than any of Runrig's previous but nevertheless retains the spirit and feeling of Runrig's music. Guitars are prominent with some great work by Malcolm Jones, especially on Clash and Sona. A great blend of traditional and rock, Enlish and Gaelic. I'm glad Runrig are back to their origins compared to their previous album, the awful Proterra.
