Review
Pull the Pin, the newest album of Stereophonics, is actually the first Stereophonics-album I have. I do have a lot of other Stereophonics songs, but never a full album: why? … I don’t know actually. They bring great rock with some mellow songs in between, I like the raw voice of Kelly Jones … I think I just never got to it (I follow so much music, I can’t keep up with them releasing new albums :x). Well enough of this babbling … the album! This album contains some softer songs and many rock songs, but doesn’t reach the ‘mellow’ level of their 2001 album ‘Just Enough Education to Perform’ and that’s a pity. I especially like their softer ‘ballads’: the contrast between the mellowness of the song against his raw voice give the songs an extra dimension. The heavier songs on this album are below expectations and I hate the opening song ‘Soldiers Make Good Targets’: all those ‘guitar-gimmicks’ just don’t suit them. The softer songs are really beauties though, like the first single of this album ‘It Means Nothing’. Have fun with the album!
My favorite song: 3. It Means Nothing, 9. Bright Red Star

Soldiers make good targets is one of the best songs of an album which holds many great tracks. It quite a remarkable revelation & a subtle observation of great wit and song writing. Containing lyrics of media and advertising greed and wars live on tv. the corus ‘you shoot… you lose’ is a anctidote for life, what do YOU think is right? your damned if you do & your damned if you dont.

Totally agree, Soldiers Make Good Targets is absolutely awsome. Just as the previous album (Language Sex Violence Other) started with the superb rock “Superman” track, this follows suit with another winner! I’ve listened to the whole album now and yet again there isn’t a bad track on it.
Kelly’s voice carries both the harder rock tracks and the softer numbers.
Subtle yet totally in your face, making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up to listen!
