GREAT, big rock stars should behave like great, big rock stars. Johnny Borrell talks the talk like a seasoned pro having long-since digested Liam's guide to self-belief, but now it's time to deliver.
Razorlight's second album pushes the doe-eyed rockisms of their debut so hard it sets a place at rock's top table and sits there demanding its grub. Now! So, job done then.
Well, yes, until you really listen to it. What Razorlight have done is gather tried-and-tested classic rock and shoe-horned it into a collection of average but memorable songs.
You'll pick up traces of Talking Heads, 10cc, Queen, Dion, Simple Minds, Elton John, even Coldplay across the course of this mercifully short (35 minutes) sophomore release. It's not clever, but it will be big.
