Reviews Customer Reviews for Robbers And Cowards      Solid but not Great      Rating:      Hang Me Out to Dry is the single and probably what steered you the Cold War Kids. If you like Hang Me Out to Dry than you will like the album because it does not stray too far from what it does best. My favorite song is Tell Me in the Morning, which is song #3 but by song #5 the album sort of bleeds together and you are ready to start hitting the skip button. You can not blame a band for sticking to the same sound thru an entire album, but it does get somewhat old fast. Once again if you like Hang Me Out to Dry than you most likely will like the album.     Customer Reviews for Robbers And Cowards Cd      Robbers & Cowards      Rating:      Cold War Kids-Robbers & Cowards ***** Robbers & Cowards just might be one of the very best albums this reviewer has ever heard. Vocal lines that could rival anything in the history of music. Melodies that melt like butter. Lyrics that are among some of the most personal, nicely crafted, and all around brilliant. Cold War Kids nailed it with Robbers & Cowards. Opening with 'We Used To Vacation' and then segueing directly into the albums single hit, the beyond amazing 'Hand Me Out To Dry.' First off, the opener kills and the latter is among the very top songs I have ever heard. It blows my mind every time I hear it. Genius lyrics defined. Oh, the vocals are nothing to gawk at either. 'Saint John' is in a class of it's own. Brilliant in all the overzealous meanings of the word. A hymme but more sinful. 'Hospital Beds' is possibly the best songs I have heard in the last ten years. Those are just a few of the highlights. The whole album is incendiary so it would seem trite to indulge in the greatness of each track. The bottom line here folks is that Robbers & Cowards is one of the more originally great albums to emerge from rock n' roll in the last ten years. Scratch that...make that ever.
