Impressive debut May 4, 2005
Stephen Doig (New Zealand)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
There's nothing startlingly original about the music on young British band Thirteen Senses debut 'The Invitation', but to write them off as unoriginal would be to miss the point. On the evidence here, much of which is stirring and beautiful, this is a group more concerned with breaking hearts than breaking barriers.
I wasn't quite prepared for just how good this is given there are so many bands that peddle this brand of anthemic, melodic pop/rock with such mediocre, hollow results. Thirteen Senses manage to make big sounding music that is also heartfelt and literate.
Comparisons abound to groups like Keane, Coldplay and Embrace (a sort of necessary evil in the case of a new band), and in truth they do fall roughly into the same territory as these bands, though with less grandiosity than Coldplay, more edge than Keane, and at time of writing, better melodies than Embrace.
Given time 'The Invitation' is a real grower, while 'Into The Fire' and 'Thru The Glass' endear themselves immediately, others such as 'Gone', 'Saving', 'Lead Us' and 'Last Forever' prove to be equally very, very good after a few spins.
You only hope Thirteen Senses' label gives them the opportunity to grow as a band, and down the line the chance to deliver on the promise of this excellent debut.
 melancholy melodies sung sweetly by male brit June 4, 2005

If you like that sort of thing. This is your album. The songs are very hummable. At times orchestral. Not quite sure what he's singing about but it's kind of depressing and introspective. But the singer's voice is really sweet and he sings the songs really well and there's a dreamy, yearning quality about them. He harmonizes with himself and sings close to falsetto. Many highlight songs - Automatic, Do No Wrong, Gone, Saving, The Salt Wound Routine - all great songs.

Very good alblum. Comparable in sound to Keane, but is actually better then Keane's Hopes and Fears. Also with a slightly darker edge. It is well produced. A good addition to anyone's collection.
Thirteen Senses can "Do No Wrong" October 8, 2004

I love this album although it is true the style is not original, but that does not matter when it is a style that works well.To me it is a meeting between Keane and Barclay James Harvest with vocals sounding like Al Stewart. As I am forty-something all these features make it an excellent listen. Add the fact that the band are from God's own county (Kernow) and you can't go wrong. Favourite tracks at the moment (I've only listened to it three times) are the single "Into the Fire", "Do No Wrong" and "Saving" but this will probably change over time. In summary, if you like Keane, Coldplay, Geneva or even BJH you will love this.

Well, let's just put aside the comparisons to coldplay or keane, and then listent to the cd, so you will realize this is a little bit more a rock album than any of coldplay would be, in they're own style Thirteen Senses offer us twelve really amazing songs with good lyrics, Perfect album to listent to in a rainy afternoon.
