|
| | Bouncing back from the adventurous, but somewhat uneven, Silence is Easy, which involved chaotic recordings sessions with mercurial producer Phil Spector (shortly before his arrest on suspicion of murder), Starsailor opted for a more muscular, straight-ahead sound for On The Outside. While the amped-up, guitar-heavy approach renews previous comparisons to Coldplay, the Lancashire, England-based group, fronted by emotive frontman James Walsh, still maintains its own voice on strong tracks such as the soaring "In the Crossfire" and the thoughtful, Hammond-laden "This Time." The tracklisting for the bonus DVD is as follows: Making of On the Outside (Short Film), Counterfeit Life (Live LA performance), In My Blood (Live At Somerset House), Tie Up My Hands (Live At Somerset House), Silence is Easy (Live At Somerset House), In the Crossfire (Video) and the 35-minute DVD also features a Photo Gallery.

"Starsailor find themselves in danger of being lumped in with the much-maligned 'Keaneplay' school of emote-u-like guitar rock. Yet judged on their own merits they are still producing the goods" MoJo (Nov 2005, p.104)
"A spirited response to their detractors" Uncut:
"Their most compelling album yet" The Daily Telegraph

| | Professional Reviews | | New Musical Express 7 of 10
Just three albums in, and James Walsh and co have got a sound that they could probably win a patent application for - one which they deliver effortlessly and in polished fashion. - Simon Hayes Budgen
All Music Guide 7 of 10
While the album is impeccably crafted, the songs here lean toward the homogeneous and may take a few spins before such gems as "In My Blood," "Keep Us Together," and "Get Out While You Can" reveal themselves. Fittingly, for listeners who do not alienate themselves on the first spin, On the Outside holds much to offer. - Matt Collar

| | Bio | | The success of Travis and Coldplay on the UK charts in the late 90s instigated the usual record company feeding frenzy, with their new target white bands playing no-frills, melodic rock music. Starsailor, who take their name from a Tim Buckley album and a fair amount of inspiration from the cult US singer-songwriter, emerged in 2000 as the most promising of these new bands. Formed in Lancashire, England by James Walsh, James Stelfox, Ben Byrne, and Barry Westhead, the quartet enjoyed a remarkable rise to major label status. They played their first concert in April 2000 and were snapped up by EMI Records a few months later. Extensive radio-play and a supportive music press helped their Fever EP break into the UK Top 20 the following March. "Good Souls" and "Alcoholic" also made the upper reaches of the UK charts prior to the release of the quartet's well-received debut album, Love Is Here.
