Young For Eternity was produced by post-punk legend Ian Broudie, who supplies the record with more thrust and polish than some of these half-written songs deserve.

The Subways' album, Young for Eternity is the best CD by a new artist to traverse the channels between the U.K. and its fledgling son since Franz Ferdinand's or Kaiser Chiefs' debut albums.

One of the most exciting recent U.K. exports, the Subways play simple, unjaded songs with equal amounts of energy and enthusiasm.

The Subways don't have the same zeitgeist-making magic as their more popular rivals.

Throughout Young For Eternity, Lunn's songs relay a remarkable span of powerful emotions, of love and lust and fear and frustration - in short, the entire delirious, hormone-addled, adolescent experience writ into rock.

With a debut album as strong as this, and support from the likes of Oasis, Zane Lowe and Michael Eavis helping their cause, it's safe to say that Subways are going to be very, very big.

Right now, the only thing that sounds better actually is coming from Detroit, but instead of musicians, it's Steelers fans making a joyful noise.

At their best moments, particularly when Cooper takes the mike, the Subways threaten the Arctic Monkeys' position as the hottest band out of the U.K.

On first reflection The Subways' debut, Young For Eternity, is an album split between garage rock and trite little ballads that could have been any number of follow up albums.

The biggest snag in the band's bubbly, youthful overthrow, as well as what pales them next to the Monkeys, lies in the album title's unfulfilled promise: For a bunch of college-aged rockers, the Subways sounds haggard and earnest.

'Young For Eternity' is an intoxicating brew of short, sweet garage rock bangers that sound like dusted-off Detroit numbers from 2002, wedged between songs that have a distinctly young British rock edge.

Based on Young for Eternity, a collection of energetic rockers and anonymous rock-ballads, the future is uncertain. On top of the questionable staying power of their sound is the sterling track record of "lovers as bandmates" and "brothers as bandmates." Subways fans should be sure to see them in concert now, juuuuust in case.
