'Wetsuit' is The Vaccines’ 'Geraldine' and at four minutes, one of the longest offerings. Any reference to those New Yorkers who not only saved guitar music, but the humble Converse All Star, a decade ago is redundant, as The Vaccines sound as close to Glasvegas without obtaining a court order.

Justin Young’s voice resembles a southern James Allen – as does the sound. The crunching beats ease, but the intensity doesn’t go far moving from the three chord pattern to vocals. ‘A Lack of Understanding’ and ‘Blow it Up’ bring the pace to a more sustainable level for the middle. After just one listen I dare you not to be singing along to the relationship lyrics, “If you wanna come back it’s alright, alright.” Lyrically, The Vaccines aren't Jeff Buckley level or anything, but then neither is Julian Casablancas – “I don’t wanna see you with another guy, but the fact is that I may.” ‘If You Wanna’ is frustratingly addictive – once in your head, it is there to say. I didn't expect much from the Vaccines, but after listening to this album it was far better than I expected.Opener ‘Wrecking Bar (Ra Ra Ra)’ is gloriously Ramones-esque, euphoric pop and at 83 seconds, it packs a punch. The lyrical content isn't exactly impressive or original, but who cares? The album is meant for teenagers and parties, that's its audience and it delivers what it says it will (the older generation can still enjoy this album to since its inspired by their old favourite bands, despite the "teen" lyrics). There's no new ground being broken here, but the Vaccines have created a modern classic inspired by those great 60s guitar bands and aims it towards the youth culture, singing about growing up, sex, breakups, and post-breakup sex. Upon listening to the first few seconds of Wreckin' Bar I could tell that there was something special about this band they make good old fashioned rock music. Unlike Radiohead however, this hype might actually be true. At first I though they were just another overhyped group dubbed the "saviours of rock music" just like Radiohead before them. At first I though they were just another overhyped group dubbed the "saviours of rock music" I didn't know what to expect from the Vaccines. I didn't know what to expect from the Vaccines. Favourite tracks: If You Wanna, Wreckin' Bar (Ra, Ra, Ra), All In White, Post Break-Up Sex, Wetsuit … Expand What makes this album my album of the year is its simplicity, its raw rock edge, fun lyrics that can be quite serious at times, and the unique atmosphere The Vaccines create. Slower and darker, they give this almost 'gothic folk' with its lyrics that speak of love, break-ups (obviously), sex and suffering. What comes as a nice refreshment are songs like 'Post Break-Up Sex', 'Wetsuit' and 'All In White'. well, Amanda Nørgaard going all wild and "she's only seventeen and she's probably not ready". Nørgaard is a song about Amanda Nørgaard and it's about. Along with 'Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra), there's one more song that runs past through you in a minute and a half. Their debut features upbeat songs that will probably rock any indie kids' party, and keep the crowd jumping during gigs. Not until I heard 'Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)' did I realise they will deliver and release a great album. I heard the demo version of 'If You Wanna' a few months after the band was formed and I heard potential. At first they seemed like a la-di-da-di-da band. What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? Everything.
