After a two-year hiatus, you really expect, nay, demand that a new Seafood single is vital - the last pump of the chest that brings a lifeless body back from the dead. That vital. 'Good Reason', whilst reasonably good, isn't vital. It feels too safe, a by-numbers retread of songs written by another band in their infancy. It doesn't sound like the Seafood we expect. We want crashing and banging. We get slick, yet unremarkable, indie-rock. Frontman David Line's vocals still resonate with the same infuriated urgency that they did some seven years ago, but the music accompanying them is nothing better than workmanlike. There are better songs, far better songs, on the forthcoming 'As The Cry Flows'. Let's just hope that this average single doesn't put off any newcomers to one of the UK's finest guitar bands.

Plus I haven't heard it and choice of singles has always been Seafoods way of handicapping themselves.

Re: Seafood - Good Reason
Still I never did understand the widespread hatred of Seafood. Never thought they were great but I always found them okay to listen to...
Re: Seafood - Good Reason
I've always had them in a "For fans of: Biffy Clyro" category. perhaps unfairly. someone gave me a tape a couple of years ago, i might look it out tomorrow to check.

It's been a long time, but welcome back Seafood. One of britain's finest guitar bands indeed.
Seafood - Good Reason
I think it's their best album yet.
Re: Seafood - Good Reason
Good Reason IS a decent enough single, but is decent enough what we want? Still, it's a vessel for the great b-sides, so perhaps 2.5 was a little harsh. Still an average mark though, not terrible or anything.
Re: Seafood - Good Reason
D'uh.
Seafood - Good Reason
But it'll open them up to a new audience I reckon - Cloaking was a great song, but not a 'single' really.
Really want to hear the B-sides now, will go purchase at lunchtime.

I got the single today, the 7-inch, the bside on that is a nice little acoustic affair.
Couldnt get hold of the cd single!!!!Nowhere stocked it, hmv or virgin near where i live!
Seafood - Good Reason
and yet i can't even muster up the effort to go and find a record shop to buy this one in.
i think its because i didn't like the last album much, but still, i used to love them.
if i buy this one, will it make me love them again, or will it be £3 better spent on beer?
