It All Comes Down To the Lead Vocals - You Either Love Em or Hate Em.......2007-01-12
This second LP from this New Zealand band can be best described as guitar layered pop lying somewhere between Keane and My Bloody Valentine. Enchanting, haunting, beautifully composed music is marred by the somewhat stagey vocals that will strike most people as great or awful--you decide. To me, they sound great but every once in a while they verge a little too close to stadium rock (think any Guns N Roses ballad you've ever heard) and then I skip that track as it takes away from the better ambience of the lush compositions (which remind one of the Cocteau Twins or Hooverphonic maybe?) Overall solid effort, at least 3 songs you can't stop listening to no matter what you think of the voice, which in my mind is a good buy all things considered.
Great music, horrible voice.......2006-10-09
I suppose the lead singer's voice would grow on some people or grate upon others. I am one of those folks whose ears are sensitive to the unbearable chalkboard-scratching of Andrews' vocal chords and dropped vowels. This is possibly what makes The Veils more than just another band. The music is rich and textured with incredible harmonies and consuming sounds of a variety of elements. "Lavinia" is the richest of these songs, leading the listener into a pleasing earful of piano, guitar, and background voices. Unfortunately, it's the only song I can tolerate without feeling like my eardrums might be ripped from my head by Andrews' voice.
Amazing.......2006-06-12
I think the best review is simply a story of how often I listen to this album. In all truth, almost daily, for well over a few months now, the Veils have been a part of my daily music set, and I cant see them fading from this rank any time soon. The haunting melodic songs sooth the soul and quiet the restless, while still pumping up listeners with smooth adrenaline. This album is a must have in any music collection.
The best british band out there.......2006-04-03
I buy a mass amount of british rock cds every month. Not since A Rush of Blood to the Head have I been so enamoured with a cd. More Heat Than Light rocks in a way that would kill Jack White. Nowhere Man and Lavinia are beautiful pieces that rank among U2's best. Guiding Light reminds me of Suede in their heyday. More than this though, is Finn Andrews, the 19-year old lead singer. He has the most powerful and unique voice that sets this band apart from other Radiohead wannabes. I dare you to listen to The Leaver's Dance and not get teary-eyed. This may be the best album you will hear this decade. All those hoping Travis and Elbow would have produced some stronger material this year should order this immediately. I only hope America listens and that The Veils get the attention and adoration they deserve. I would also suggest ordering the singles as Death and Co. is probably my favorite track that did not make the album. All of their b-sides are worthy of attention. Finally a new favorite cd that ranks among The Joshua Tree and James' Laid.
It can't be healthy to listen to this album as much as I do. .......2005-10-26
I've had this cd on repeat since I bought it 3 weeks ago. Every song is brilliantly written. All of the songs are quite varied, with each track differing from the next, while still holding a common theme. Having written the entire album at only 17, Finn Andrews is pure genius. His voice is hauntingly beautiful and incomparable to any other's.

Great New Artist from New Zealand.......2005-08-08
This band is fantastic. If you have not heard of them yet, you will. The singer has a rough edge that is one part Tom Waits and two parts Radiohead. The music is hauting and nostalgic. "Lavinia" is the most moving track, and the lyrics are sutble and truly strange. I guarantee that you will like it.
