So, here is the first one:
http://www.hitthefloor.com/music/rock-metal/new-model-army-between-wine-blood-album-review/
-
Bloody hell, a review that not only reviews the songs but is written in clear and concise English that is not ruined with huge words that I have to get my Thesaurus out to understand. Excellent stuff.
-
And there's more:
Music News (http://www.music-news.com/showreview.asp?H=New-Model-Army%3Cbr-/%3EBetween-Wine-And-Blood&nReviewID=10473)
-
Very promising reviews :)
Looking forward to seeing which gigs the live tracks were selected from. Sure it will be a cross section of the European dates as well as U.K. ones.
-
Blimey what's going on here then? 2 solid good reviews in one day, no snidey caricaturing but actually writing sensible stuff about the music. All sounding rather good isn't it 8)
-
http://www.outlineonline.co.uk/music/albums/new-model-army-between-wine-and-blood
-
The outline online review is horrible. All the rest good but it's hard to believe that this is an actual music writer. I must censor myself and not comment on the actual review.
-
Not quite sure what you mean Amanda? Seemed fine to me.
(Disclaimer: I don't know the reviewer but Outline is a local mag that I often flick through in the chip shop queue)
-
I must have read it wrong to because it sounded to be full of praise to me. 8/10 is a high score for a quick review also :-\
-
I'm guessing we should start getting these tomorrow. Can't wait to hear 'Angry Planet'. Sounds reminiscent of 'Brutal Planet'. And what a cracking track that is!

Thanks for sharing marius!
-
Marius - you're a diamond :-*
More strong praise. 8)
Dunno what the Band would think of "Green Tinged Humanism" but that's a brilliant phrase and I love it. In fact I'm gonna steal it because Green Tinged Humanist pretty much describes me. :)
-
I just don't think i's detailed enough. Plus the writer labeled them as post-punk. Yes, it praised it but it said hardly anything about the music or songs. I thought that was the point of a review.
When i did leisurely music reviews on a website devoted to reviews, reviews like this would be picked-apart by the readers who suggested on how to improve. More content is needed even if it is short and sweet.
Declaimer: This is just the opinions of one person and is not meant to offend anyone.If it comes,off as arrogant or insulting that is not the intention.

Here's another one:

-
2 more good reviews -even if one used a photo with Nelson in.
-
Another review for your delectation:

-
A excellent review 1 of the best I've read so far and not just about this album. This guy puts others music journalists to shame.
-
Here's one from John Robb:
louderthanwar.com (http://louderthanwar.com/new-model-army-between-wine-and-blood-album-review/)
-
That's the best review so far. Wouldn't expect anything less from Mr Robb ;)
-
Nor me...but I wrote it! Just saying like! ;)
-
Ooops :-[
Sorry LCG, I see now looking again, you quoted Mr Robb for the intro, but the main body of the review is yours.
In that case,
That's the best review so far. Wouldn't expect anything less from Mr Gill ;)
-
Why that's most kind of you sir. Most kind!
-
Ah, my mistake as well! Sorry! :-[
-
The Louder than war one is the best.
It actually goes into detail about the songs and that's how a review should be.

This one's nice: http://northernlightsandthesoutherncross.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/between-wine-and-blood-review/

Otter, nice one!!!
That review pretty much hits the nail on the head for me.

Just been catching up on these (well except the German ones as I've a rather restricted knowledge of German I'm afraid). Nice to read so much positive stuff.

I believe we have a dissenter!

How dare he! ;D
He still rates it a seven out of ten though, so it's not that bad.

The fool of a Took has no soul.

Interesting review. Maybe not entirely wrong.
Personally I am happy to seek shelter under the "old gnarly tree"

Lovely. Thank you.

I disagree with the is this music review. I don't think Englishness is the correct term for NMA, If i am correct it's not very English to express emotions in such a passionate manner. From my observations it's not very English to use the terms "I feel" or even discuss emotions publicly. I could be completely wrong though and this was not meant to offend anyone.
Some of the early stuff sounded English but from Eight Strange Brotherhood onward that sound is not so dominate.
Also, it's wrong to say that only fans will like this album. I played it in my car with a passenger who had never heard the band ever and they were interested and expressed that they really liked it. It's a bit cynical to say that.
-
The mid-land rock review was so good that it now has it's own thread.
plus i sort of missed it in here. We need an Emoticon for shy-grin. That would be my most used one. :)

Wa a good one Sam. The journalist even did their research!
-
...and this one...
http://blindedbysound.com/reviews/cd-review-new-model-army-between-wine-and-blood/
-
I like the new studio songs. Just in a couple of them the chorus is a bit cheesy......dont know............bit too much pop melodic. but angry planet is amazing in music and lyrics.

A very positive review on the February issue of french music magazine Rock & Folk!!
They rate BWAB 4 stars/5 and say at the end "Why don't NMA play more often in France??" ;)
-
Write to them and mention the three gigs in March! :)
