Summary: STOP THA HATE!
Comment: This might be the best UNKLE to date. Some might say it is too rock, but UNKLE has always had tracks that were rock. Wish I could see them live. Anyway this pick-up is a no choice if your a fan of UNKLE or just an admirer of good experimental electronic/dance.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Strong and consistent
Comment: People are discussing too much about this record beign under the name UNKLE...forget about that! This is a strong, flawless record, from beggining to end. Doesn't make any difference if it has nothing to do with the previous albuns. One of the best of 2007, for sure!

Summary: Wow
Comment: To the person who gave it two stars shame on you. Granted I've only been listening to UNKLE's work for a year now, starting with their Never Neverland promo CD, which is also some really good work. I decided to buy this one on a whim and it was a rewarding surprise. Probably my most favorite track of th whole cd is Lawless. The drums combined with the guitar booming about just makes me want to bang my head a little. I'd have to say Most of this cd is really well done. You know, sometimes an artist(s) need to try something different once in a while. This album needs more credit. And promotion. It's a shame UNKLE only came to NYC once on their whole tour. I bet the experience live would be wonderful. I also, do agree that DJ Shadows album is a huge disappointment. But, This album, war stories is great.

Summary: One of my favorites of 2007!
Comment: First off, I am quite new to the world of UNKLE, having only recently discovered their first two albums while searching for music that might be similar to Massive Attack. So...no preconceived notions about the new album when it came out. To longtime fans (and two albums is barely "long time"), it may come as a disappointment, but to a newbie like myself, always on the hunt for something new and exciting in the increasingly tired world of "rock" music, I just found this to be an exciting, unpredictable, and highly original group of songs that almost re-defines what "rock" can be. Sonically cool, with songs that range from trippy to rocking and everything in between (even the non-album bonus tracks are excellent), I think this is one of the best albums I've heard this year. Everything is sounding the same now, folks! Give credit where credit is due!

Summary: Who Moved Your Cheese People
Comment: Felt compelled to balance out the previous bad reviews of this album which don't regard the music as much as the "mild" departure or perhaps the more mature sound which has been accomplished on War Stories. This album ranks up there with anything to date.
I find it amusing when people compare an album to the bands previous ventures. Granted this album is different - HOWEVER it's without a doubt UNKLE. Can you imagine if every time bands like Led Zeppelin or The Stone's changed their process or sound, they had to put together a side project? Get over it! This album is great on it's own merit, and especially the songs with Ian Astury on vocals.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Limited edition two CD pressing of their 2007 album features a bonus disc containing instrumental versions of all 14 tracks featured on the album. Unkle return with their third album, War Stories, on James Lavelle's new label, Surrender All. Co-produced by themselves and Chris Goss, guests vocalists include Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Ian Astbury (The Cult), and 3D (Massive Attack), while there are also full band collaborations from Autolux and The Duke Spirit. James Lavelle makes his vocal debut on 'Hold My Hand' as well as dueting with Richard File on 'Morning Rage'. In a departure from the previous two albums, most of the instrumentation on War Stories is played live. Unkle enlisted a variety of players to contribute: Jeordie White AKA Twiggy Ramirez lends his bass playing skills to 'Burn My Shadow'; Nada Surf's Matthew Caws contributes guitar riffs to 'Broken', while Eagles of Death Metal's David Catching plays guitar on various tracks. Surrender All. 2007.
