The Script
The Script came up out of Dublin in the late 2000s with a piano-driven take on rock built for big choruses and open-hearted lyrics. Their debut album in 2008 gave them a run of hits right away, led by "Breakeven" and "The Man Who Can't Be Moved," songs about heartbreak that somehow still feel like anthems. That mix of ache and uplift carried them through albums like Science & Faith and #3, and made them one of the more reliable sing-along bands of their era.

The Script (2008). It's the debut that introduced everything they do well: "The Man Who Can't Be Moved," "Breakeven," and "We Cry" are all here, back to back.
