Product DescriptionAs the title of Beyond the Neighbourhood, the third album from Athlete, might suggest, this band's days of penning tunes about life on the litter-strewn streets of Deptford, South London are over. Rather, following their 2003 debut Vehicles and Animals, it seems Joel Pott and friends seized on the stratospheric success of Coldplay, Snow Patrol et al and embarked on a career writing songs that rejected the quirky playfulness and observational tone of their early singles for a broad, Everyman appeal. "Tokyo", "Airport Disco", and "Flying over Bus Stops" suggest the genesis of Beyond the Neighbourhood was cooked up on too little sleep in some airport lounge or other, but Athlete take care to play down specifics in favour of a yearning emotional edge and a slightly dislocated spirit bourne up on optimistic synthesisers and rousing choruses that suggest, with a dab of the brow, that nothing's as bad as it seems. What Athlete do isn't rocket science, really, and may disappoint some charmed by the wry charisma they displayed early on. But there's a neat restraint here, coupled to a little smart, Brian Eno-influenced electronic trickery that makes Beyond the Neighbourhood, if not essential, then a worthy addition to the modern MOR crop. -- Louis Pattison Image GalleryClick on a thumbnail on the left to view a larger image on the right.

Product ReviewsCustomers have given Beyond the Neighbourhood an average customer review rating of 4.0 out of 5. The latest reviews have been displayed below. In between two states The album kicks off (or should I say floats off) with a beautiful instrumental piece, called In Between Two States. This album manages to mix the experimental parts of the first album and on tracks such as Its not your fault and Flying Over Bus Stops the emotion of the second. Definitely feel this is their best album so far, with some great singles such as Hurricane and surely Tokyo which has a great upbeat swagger to it. If the last album was more introspective and melancholy in places, this album is a lot more upbeat and I smile when I hear it. Brilliant album even from the first listen I own both of Athlete's previous two albums and can safely say this one is their best so far. Great album I have the last 2 Athlete albums and really like them and am pleased to say that this one is instantly likable and on first listen every track has really appealed to me. Great songs, nice production - the band continues to move forward.
