UJFM Music Review: The Black Hotels – Films For The Next Century

The Used - Artwork

From the moment you start playing this album it has your attention, and manages to keep it. Unlike their EP Beautiful Mornings, which was very raw and messy, this album has a more dynamic and polished feel to it. What also keeps your interest in the album is the dynamics of the songs and arrangement of them. From the energy of the opening Someone Stole The Light with its indie-pop feel, straight into the slower tempo of Stone Wife, to the country-esq style of Black Rose, this album defiantly keeps you wondering what is next. Not to say that this album is a masterpiece, but it does show off the talents of the band and their unique style of making music. 3/5
