Taken from their self-titled debut album, Unconditional is in my opinion the best single to be released from the album. From the childlike intro to the last “nothing is unconditional” this song has me hooked. This song has more to offer to “An Honest Mistake”, its more individual sounding. It’s almost 80s U2 sounding which is never a bad thing, but with a 2005 twist. Personally I think this may a bigger hit for them than their last single. Each time I hear it, it grows on me more. This however may not be everyone’s cup of tea and the bravery have certainly racked up support across the UK, this song is definitely aimed at a particular genre of fans and whether or not it will be accepted out with

their fan base is another story, but then again I’m not the biggest bravery fan and I like it. The Bravery are definitely a band that will be one of the big success stories of 2005 if not already and no doubt will be around for a couple of years yet, this is certain if they continue to release songs such as this and previous songs.
