Single Review
The Automatic - RaoulThe Automatic - Raoul (re-release)

The Automatic have had a really successful year starting of with the release of their debut single 'Recover' and their second single 'Raoul' which gained the band some good recognition but it was the bands third single release 'Monster' which really did it for The Automatic and was one of the best anthems of the summer with its pure catchy sing a long style. The song 'Monster' was shortly followed by the bands debut album 'Not Accepted Everywhere' which has given The Automatic the success that they deserve.

Since that success the band have re-released their debut single 'Recover' and are starting off 2007 with a re-release of their second single 'Raoul' which isn’t the best move, starting off a new year with yet another re-released single. Luckily for the band most of their fans will treat this as a brand new single release as they gained most of their fans after the release of the third single 'Monster'. For the people who have been fans from the start, there are some added bonuses to the single such as the bands version of Kanye West's 'Gold Digger' and a Fatboy Slim remix of Monster.

'Raoul' is a great tune but it’s just a shame the band have chosen to re-release this when they have a whole album full of great songs they could release as singles.

3.5/5
