Quite rightly, there were big expectations for this album. With lead singer Danny O?Donoghue appearing on popular BBC1 show ?The Voice? this year, not only the bands publicity but also the expectations on their music was high. I wasn?t surprised to see fellow ?The Voice? judge Will.i.am on the track list but the question lingering in the air?will they make good music? I would say for the most part ? yes! In my opinion, I didn?t believe Will.i...

Lead singer of The Script, Danny O?Donoghue, has seen his profile raised since becoming a late replacement for Will Young on the BBC's The Voice, and that means his band?s latest release was always going to gain more attention than its two predecessors. There is a concern this would cause them to become more commercial (if possible) and therefore less interesting. The arrival of fellow The Voice judge will.i.am on lead single Hall of Fame only added to that fear...

The Script Science And Faith 2/5 Listen To: For The First Time Skip It: Long Gone And Moved On The Script is much like any adult contemporary pop band you've ever listened to, but not quite as good. They have all of the elements that every other band, but there is something missing. They could be great. Song after song it feels like they aren't doing the song justice. The album's single "For The First Time" is really nice, and is actually what turned me onto the band in the first place...

"I'm standing under a white flag," sings Danny O'Donoghue, positing his Dublin trio as inheritors to the Emerald Isle's greatest band. The Script have enjoyed Euro-chart success with a mix of lite rock, rap rock and Guinness-informed crooning they call "Celtic soul" -- at once soaring, melancholic and treacly. Their second disc's big ballad is "For the First Time," about boozing your way through Ireland's recession. But if O'Donoghue references locally, he thinks globally; B.o...

I'd say that James Blunt has a challenger in the form of Dublin soft rockers The Script, were it not for the fact that these commercially inclined (and we're talking 45-degree angle here) pretties have been around in one form or other for 15 years, thus pre-cheesing the Blunt boy by several brokenhearted teenage lifetimes...

The world of adult contemporary rock can often feel like the aural equivalent of nondairy creamer ? presweetened and emulsified for easy digestion, if not good taste. Still, a taste it is, and even as James Blunt and the Script induce cornea-straining eye rolls in some, they also bring lite-FM pleasure to millions. Those millions may be hard sold, though, on Blunt's third and latest album...

Irish pop/rockers The Script aren't exactly feeling the respect right now, and it's about to get a lot worse. Their 2008 debut self-titled album spawned an impressive 5 hit singles in the United Kingdom, reached the Top 10 in 4 countries (Ireland, Australia, the UK, and Sweden), and was, overall, a successful venture into the world of the early 00s...
