When You Come Around is the fourth studio album by Scottish indie rock band Cosmic Rough Riders. Released in 2001, the album was a commercial success and received critical acclaim for its blend of melodic pop and country rock.
The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Because You," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The jangly guitars, harmonies, and clever lyrics are reminiscent of classic 60s pop and country rock, but with a modern twist.
Other standout tracks include "Revolution (In the Summertime)," "Justify the Rain," and "The Pain Inside." Each song showcases the band's ability to craft memorable melodies and intelligent lyrics that are both introspective and relatable.
The album's production is also worth noting, with a warm and organic sound that perfectly complements the band's rootsy instrumentation. The mix of acoustic and electric guitars, pedal steel, and Hammond organ create a rich and textured sonic landscape that draws the listener in.
