Shield Your Eyes Album Review Round Up!
Well, we're glad that Shield Your Eyes new album, Theme From Kindness has been getting a lot of love. A couple more reviews came whizzing into ABoF HQ and we couldn't wait to share them with you...
First up Contactmusic.com who gave the album quite an impressive write up.
"... the band want to engage you intellectually rather than physically. Listening to the record quietly on headphones in order to pick out interesting textures is a far more rewarding experience than playing it loudly in the expectation of immediate thrills." - Contactmusic.com
Read the full review HERE.
Buzzin Music Blog were next up to big up the album describing it as "one of the best albums of 2010".
"Shield Your Eyes have produced one of the best albums of 2010 with their third album, Theme From Kindness. Now I need to play this again, very loud so my neighbours can stop whatever they are doing and take notice of a truly inspirational album that sticks out like a perfect storm from an otherwise mundane , calm sea of blandness." - Buzzin Music Blog

Finally, One Beat rounds off an impressive bunch of reviews for Theme From Kindness scoring it 8/10.
"Honest, gripping and downright challenging (not that we'd have it any other way) - Theme From Kindness is not for the faint-hearted. The band offer their own personal take on song-writing, which is a big 'FUCK YOU!' to all the over-produced, soulless crap out there that passes for music these days." - One Beat

If this has whet your appetite then you should check out the track Too Little Has Been Good For The Soul on our Soundcloud page.
