Music For An Accelerated Culture

1. Get Smashed Gate Crash
Very good song, described as a bit simple but I love it. 5/5
2. That Boy That Girl
One of my favourites, great lyrics, awesome tunes. Must hear. 5/5
3. Declaration Of War
Latest single, you may have heard on the radio. It's a very nice song with a much more rhythmic tune like their Leap of Faith. It's brilliant. 5/5
9. Liquid Lives
Favourite song, it's brilliant! It's great to sing along to, especially at concerts!

The rest are also very good, some aren't as good in comparison, but they're all 4/5 or 5/5. Those were just my favourites =)

The Sounds Of Hadouken Are Bloody Sick. This Has Some Of The Best Tracks Ever On. They Have Gone From There Old Stuff To The New Stuff, Only 3 Tune Are Older Stuff. I Was Looking Forward to Have More Older Stuff But They Have Made Up For My Dissapointment With The New Track. They Are Some Mint Tunes. Total Hooked On Hadouken. Seen Them last Night To 6th May And Birmingham And They Are Even Better Live. Hadouken 4 Life.

Came across them on a music channel singing Liquid Lives a superb single describing life for those who live in the bars and pubs with the lines of"drink, smoke" beyond closing time okay people will accuse them of jumping on the back of Enter Shikari's bandwagon but their jumpy dancing pop/dance/rock is sure enough to get those rocking on the dance floor!

Having gathered a cult status with younger audiences Hadouken! could have been forgiven for resting on their laurels and placing catchy tunes such as That Boy That Girl and Liquid Lives with a number of filler tracks. But instead they have produced a consistent album with so many different styles, it is no wonder they have been compared to the Klaxons in the past. From the first lyrics in the energetic 'Get Smashed Get Crash', to the mellow finale in 'Wait For You', Hadouken! have pulled off one of the albums of the year so far.

Let's be honest, this album is excellent, but at just over half an hour it's far too short, especially given that half their remix tunes are nowhere to be seen (And the Mix tape has been unceremoniously pulled from sale, not even listed on play.com anymore).

Lyrically this is great fun and quite a good little commentary too with 'Spend your life'. ("isn't it funny how people live a life of debt / to one person, that they have never met")

Again, like I have mentioned in other reviews, these guys are nothing like the Klaxons, and quite why they are even being compared is beyond me, it's like saying "Madonna's new album Hard Candy is not like The Beatles White Album and therefore I don't like it."

Anyway, if you like Tinchy Stryder, and other Grime, you'll probably like this. That said, if you like Crystal Castles and other contemporary Electro/Thrash acts you'll like this too.

It's a good fun album which most people can relate to with topics like MySpace and Indie boys in clubs who are too cool to dance.

I for one will play this album loud out my window and earn myself my first ASBO.
