Album Description
2008 release. Script is made up of three Irish lads from Dublin who are now currently based out of London, England. This 10 track album showcases the band's fine talent with a batch of beautifully written songs. Phonogenic.

Fantastic First Effort January 6, 2009
This is a terrific first effort by this three-man Celtic soul/pop band. I discovered them through their appearance on the Sundance Channel's Abbey Road series, where they performed "We Cry" and "The Man Who Can't Be Moved." Loved them both instantly and tried to find the CD, which apparently is not available in the U.S. The quality of the songs drops off a bit by the end of the CD, but the first six or so are outstanding. Great, soulful vocalist, tight drumming and solid guitar and keyboard work. A real treat and I can't wait for the second offering.
 Excellent Debut from a Band with Staying Power December 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A mighty debut from a mighty Dublin trio. Yes, folks, there's more to the Irish music scene than U2. There, I said it. I know there will be considerable comparisons made to the Celtic quartet, especially when the lead singer's high register may remind the listener of Bono and the melodies have a hint of Edge-esque sound to them. It would be ridiculous for there not to be a certain modicum of influence and inspiration by one of the world's biggest bands and clearly Ireland's main musical export. But The Script offer an instantly pleasing sonic experience with accessible tunes and lyrics. The vocals are moving to the point that even this cynical reviewer finds a thaw of the heart and I have the infectious melodies linger sweetly in my head for hours after the mp3 player goes off. now, if this band would only tour America so I could see them live, I would be perfectly sated!
The Script cd November 22, 2008
Great product, great delivery. We absolutely LOVE The Script as they've become one of our favorite bands. The only less than perfect thing was that the center of the cd case which holds the cd in place, was shattered. Not a big deal, just being honest about what must have happened in the mail.
The Script are rewriting the playbook... November 3, 2008

Adding to the previous reviews: The Script, hailing from Dublin, are calling themselves a Celtic Soul band. Two of the band members, Danny O'Donoghue and Mark (sometimes Marc) Sheehan were members of a boy-band called Mytown in the late 1990s, and Mark is purported to be one of the top choreographers in Ireland. I find this interesting, in that they gave up the dancing completely, refocused on songwriting and playing, and are probably about to break huge in the states. Mytown got a huge advance and flopped badly, despite a lot of help from big US producers. The main dance numbers were very derivative, but the ballads were good. You could see and hear the talent in their videos (go on YouTube).
My HS age son has been playing The Script's songs for his friends and they are all going crazy on iTunes and YouTube.com, and god-knows-where-else, since they can't buy the album in the US yet.
Great vocals from the three official bandmates, including the drummer Glen Power, very catchy songs with soul, rap, reggae, hints of U2, and some very smart lyrics. We Cry's cool rap/soul foundation and political lyrics grab the kids hard enough to get them to listen to the great ballads of Breakeven (amazing chorus) and The Man Who Can't Be Moved. I found 'If You See Kay' pretty on the surface but a little cloying... the lyric refers to the singer as sweet f.a. without Kay, meaning he is nothing, or sweet f*&K-all, a common UK term (also the title of the old Sweet song). If You See Kay, also spells out the word (F_U_C...), if you catch my drift, so I feel they got a little too clever here, ruining the sentiment for me.
The best thing about The Script though are their amazing live performances. Danny changes up the songs virtually every time he delivers one live, and I have a lot of versions I prefer to the albums. Check out their appearance on Live at Abbey Roads on Sundance, or some of their live performances on balconies, tv shows, etc. on YouTube. They are gonna blow up in the US. Good looking kids, with great songs, great vocals, great performances. How can they miss...The Script is already written in platinum. One day they should drop the instruments and dance a little, too...
 Following The Script September 6, 2008

This Irish Trio have certainly taken flight with this No. 1 album in the UK and Ireland. The hit singles 'We Cry' and 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' are certainly well-crafted pop ditties and if you like these, you will like the album. Nice melodies, nice production and that for me is the problem. Everything is too nice and clean. A more 'live' feel to the rockier numbers like 'Talk You Down' might have given the album more 'edge'. Nevertheless, a fine debut and suggests that there is more to come from this talented trio.
