Amazon.co.uk Review
Always the tatty ASBO-wielding pageboy, never the groom. Or perhaps more pertinently always Northern Uproar, never Oasis. Always bassist John Hassell, never Pete Doherty. The View were never scene leaders or headline grabbers, they didn’t have it in them (they barely had it in them to walk in a straight line), but then that was the appeal; allowing them to skid recklessly along the post-Libertines slipstream, churning out whatever in the way of juvenile rock ‘n’ roll hedonism they could muster. Such a scattergun approach served them reasonably well on debut Hats Off To The Buskers, amassing clumps of moreish melody and a 6-pack of holler-along choruses beneath a generous covering of raucousness. The regrettably titled follow up, Which Bitch?, however does see The View lose a good deal of their beginners luck, some of which is entirely of their own doing as they make awkward and unnecessary attempts at maturity--the perplexing Twang-esque baggy rap of “One Off Pretender” and sub-Verve string-laden balladry of “Unexpected” really bring nothing but embarrassment. Thankfully they’ve still got some diesel in the tank and crank out carefree, wind-in-yer-hair, jaunty breezers like the La’s-esque “Temptation Dice”, feedback-drenched size-10 stomper “5Rebeccas”, Fratellis-aping “Jimmy’s Crazy Conspiracy” and accordingly explosive (if unsurprising) “Shock Horror”, which just keep the album back from the brink. --James Berry

CD Description
This second album from the Scottish scamps follows 2007's 'Hats Off To The Buskers'. Produced once again by Owen Morris(Oasis, Ash, The Verve) and recorded in rural Wales, this is a big leap forward for the band and adds the newfound grandeur of string arrangements to their raw 70s pop and pub rock influenced tunes, delivered as ever in thick, near-impenetrable Dundonian accents. Features a guest appearance by fellow Scot Paolo Nutini and includes the singles 'Shock Horror'and '5 Rebbecca's' (sic).

Customer Reviews

A great album from a very promising band.
Brilliant stuff for a huge fan and The View junky. Excellent songs, great DVD. Definitely one of my top 5 albums.

Perfection
One of the best albums I've heard in a very long time!!
Every song is perfect!!

This tracklist is wrong...
A brilliant album, but whoever wrote the tracklist for this product got it very wrong, unless the iTunes download of this deluxe album is drastically different - here is the accurate tracklist:

1. Typical Time 2
2. 5 Rebbecca's
3. One Off Pretender
4. Unexpected
5. Temptation Dice
6. Glass Smash
7. Distant Dubloon
8. Jimmy's Crazy conspiracy
9. Covers
10. Double Yellow Lines
11. Shock Horror
12. Realisation
13. Give Back The Sun
14. Gem Of A Bird
15. Casual Pterodactyl

Not entirely sure about the second disc since my version is downloaded and so obviously doesn't come on seperate discs - but the 'Dryburgh Style' documentary is definitely included. Hope this helps.
