The Fratellis, Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Almost a decade has gone past in the blink of an eye since The Fratellis released what was undoubtedly one of the great, if not the catchiest, of albums of 2006. A decade in which much has changed in the life of many people and in which the thoughts may switch to that summer where you could hear their big hits dominate the radio and even get commercial adoration as being used as celebrations to any league goal scored up and down the length of the U.K.; they switch because for a brief time it seemed that 2006, especially the summer of that year was the true combination of the purple patch and the mystifying salad days all rolled into one as people remember being happy and the music being insanely repeatable.
