i bought this album hearing good things and i wasnt let down every song is great in particular cash maichine, hard to beat, better do better and living for the weekend.

This band is fantastic. I can listen to 'stars of cctv' over and over and never get boared. Every track is edgy and true.

Good album at a bargain price - a must buy for the modern listener of alternative music

A stunning debut album. Full of anthems and great hooks.

this debut album is excellent. its a flawed album, but worthy of anyones money. lyrically its wonky in places and Richard Archer isnt blessed with the best of voices, but despite all this, there is an edge and energy to this debut. lyrically its the about everyday working class life which the majority of people can relate to in one way or another.

the singles are all excellent rock-pop songs. Hard To Beat is a indie-rock dancefloor filler about going on the pull, the soaring Living For The Weekend is one of the finest 'getting ready for Friday night' records and Better Do Better is up there with the finest breakup songs ever written. elsewhere Middle Eastern Holiday present a darker more political side to Hard Fi while Move On Now tenderly illustrates a longing to leave our current lives for something better than toiling and slaving away in our small towns.

there are a few stinkers on this album (Gotta Reason and Unnecessary Trouble and instantly forgettable filler tracks) but overall, there is enough goodness on here that makes it a worthy purchase.

I have to agree with the other reviews here and give this one 4 stars. Great album about modern life in the UK. Grab a copy now ...

For anyone who likes rock, indie or is just likes any music this is the album to buy.

A great album about modern life in the uk . asbo feltham , gulf war , and unwanted pregnancy . the duo bring a new look at modern life.
must have album

Great band although they either produce brillant songs or shocking ones. Livin' For The Weekend and Hard To Beat are brillant singles, Gotta reason and Cash Machine are good tracks as well but I don't know what they were thinkin with Middle Eastern Holiday and Feltham is Singing Out! Overall though great album, definately worth buiying
