Another Good LIGHNING SEEDS effort

"Happy Satellite" and "Get It Right" are the two standout tracks on TILT. Prevous CD "Dizzy Heights" was more satisfying due to its fun guitar work missing from "Tilt" which is still a good record.

Happy Music

Just like the Cure epitomized the darker sides of life, Lightning Seeds have taken upon themselves to make the world a happier place. The joy of life is the central theme in all their songs and Tilt carries on that tradition beautifully. From instantly classic songs like "Life's too short" with one of the best production on an electronic track ever, to sublime songs such as "Get it right" and "If only" you can't help but feel better, if not good, about yourself. Although the ballads are skipable to a casual listener, they add a completeness to the album which generates a very fulfilling listening experience. On the flip side, metaphorically speaking, you will be hard pressed to find happier songs than (surprise!) "Happy satellite" and "Crowdpleaser." Dance, Top40, RandB, Adult Contemporary listeners will equally find songs to their liking in this gem of an album. Even though, I am not a die-hard Lightning Seeds fan, Tilt was (is) my favorite album of the last 12 months.

Not much like the old stuff

The happy joy stuff is gone. More moody deeper tracks, with highly developed lyrics.
