David Gray — A Century Ends: Reviews
Genius Debut
David Grays debut album, A Century Ends, is a true modern classic. With its mixture of acoustic-based protest songs, driving folk-rockers and heartbreaking tales of love, it is clear where Gray's influences lie: Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Nick Drake. This, simply, is an incredible collection of raw, emotion soaked songs which tug at the heart strings and refuse to let go. Stand out songs are "Shine" - a magnificent, soaring anthem - "Debauchery" - a beautiful, desperate plea for love - "Gathering Dust" - one of the most heartbreaking songs ever and "Birds Without Wings" - a defiant statement to a callous, uncaring world. These reflective songs are interspersed with louder, more rockier songs such as "A Century Ends", "Wisdom" and "It's All Over" all of which are incredibly powerful. One song - "Let The Truth Sting" highlights Gray's true lyrical genius, as he hits the listener with image upon beautiful image. This man deserves to be compared with Bob Dylan and the other great solo artists of the past, he is a genius: pure and simple. These songs are life affirming, which is exactly why I urge you to buy this album. You'll thank me afterwards.
