Amazon Review

Hailing from the same University Of London digs as Coldplay, and reaching for the mantle of Yank-inflected indie-rock when the muscular jock-rock likes of Limp Bizkit are in the ascendancy, youthful Brit-rock four-piece My Vitriol should really have found this debut album business a bit of an uphill struggle. Somewhat surprisingly, though, they've delivered the goods; at its best, Finelines suggests the dynamic scissor-kick choruses and sleek power-pop of the Foo Fighters, as envisaged through the effects pedals of My Bloody Valentine sound-alchemist Kevin Shields--the spirit of shoe-gazing spiked with guts, adrenaline, and adolescent fantasies of towering walls of noise. Thankfully, too, thi... Read full review »

I haven't forgotten........

It's 2008, a nice round 7 years on from the release of this album, and still it holds sway among the best of the best rock albums. Why? Well it does has it's reference point, influences and the like - but you'd be hard pressed to find a band before My Vitriol who sounded exactly like them. As mentioned in the reviews from the time, there are hints of the Foo Fighters, a pinch of My Bloody Valentine for sure, but these influences are taken into a whole new spectrum on Finelines.

This album sounds BIG. And no that's not a bad thing. In many respects their wall of sound is all the more refreshing in the current climate of clackety indie guitars that sound as if they were recorded in a shed. Instead Som Wardner and gang took their telecasters, said no to the clean channel and turned everything up to 11, filtering myriad spacey rock sounds into the mix.

The songwriting is not to shabby either, they pull huge chor... Read full review »

Still fantastic, 6 years on.

I fell in love with My Vitriol 6 years ago when I was a 'slightly misunderstood' 16 year old with access to an alternative radio station. Cut to 2007 and I am still in utter awe of this band. Their sound is brilliantly unique - sweeping melodies and often delicately intricate guitar work is combined with thundering chords and furious drumming; and all these elements are marvelously woven together by the unmistakable vocals of lead man Som Wardner who ranges from furious screaming to angsty droning to the softest murmuring. OK, so I sound over-the-top, and possib... Read full review »

Ace...

My Vitriol have been around quite a while, although only have one "proper" album under their belts. Their debut, "Finelines", is one of the best debuts I have heard in a long time. It still sounds fresh and exciting, even after a couple of years of play. There are 6 or 7 tracks, that are simply outstanding. "Losing Touch" is probab... Read full review »

Hardcore rock, anthemic choruses, power-pop & guitar texture

As a debut album this stands head and shoulders above most, and is better than a lot of established acts recent offerings.
Combining the essential elements of the Foo Fighters, My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd and Nirvana, this album blends together effortlessly, pieced together by slick segues and thoughtful sequencing.
There's hardcore rock, anthemic choruses, power-pop and even instrumental interludes.
The songs themselves stick to the prove... Read full review »
