Album Reviews
Though Groove Armada's Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have been justly praised for their production talents, the duo's fourth album, Lovebox, takes them down the path of production gloss. The opener, "Purple Haze," features Nappy Roots backed by a restrained guitar grind, while Richie Havens (making a repeat appearance) contributes yet another deeply felt performance on "Hands of Time." "Final Shakedown" rips a page from the Basement Jaxx book, with a swinging, slapping house production and the ragga-tinged vocals of Red Rat. "Madder," the only track on the album performed by a band, rides a groove straight out of the Clash's "Magnificent Seven," with a solid sung-spoken rap by M.A.D. Another track that works well is "Remember," a gradually ascending epic with a sampled Sandy Denny vocal (lifted from Fairport Convention's Unhalfbricking) echoed by the affirmations of the London Community Gospel Choir. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Addicted Saving Abel |
| Hard to believe Saving Abel are only on their debut album release. Having been together since 2004 the Mississippi five piece have become big news on the American rock scene. Following in the sound and stylistic pathways of stalwarts such as 3 Doors Down and Shinedown, Saving Abel are perhaps not reinventing the wheel in terms of genre but first single ‘Addicted’ sees them happily joining the best in the business. ‘Addicted’ mixes epic rock with that familiar southern American snarling vocal – but the key to the songs success is the massive chorus, its hooks a plenty with a hint of sordid antics that brings the classic rock fans out in force to support this track. ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited.
