Never been to into them, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the single! Kok4-aVdyT4 This post has been edited by WhoOdyssey: 6th April 2019, 09:42 AM

A dead mouse (from my cat) Joined: 2 March 2018 Posts: 28,509 User: 67,771	Yeah but that's not the case for loads of one-hit wonders: Walk The Moon, Magic!, American Authors, etc. Their next era albums didn't get anywhere near to #1. Which shows that people like The Lumineers for more than just Hey Ho. This post has been edited by WhoOdyssey: 7th April 2019, 01:39 PM

It was a good 3 years after their first album was selling decently that this album came - no rush to capitalise / cash in on the success of "Ho Hey", they took time to make a quality record and it went to number 1. Of course yes sales were low at the time but they still sold a decent amount which luckily for them debuted them at the top. The album spent 5 weeks top 40 - we certainly see worse. "Gloria" has started off well on iTunes as well, you can't say that's because of "Ho Hey"! This post has been edited by Moses: 7th April 2019, 06:07 PM

Donna (Part 1 of 10) V-plAPYbQvg Life In The City (Part 2 of 10) VLPsZT2ZAgE And the video released for "Gloria" too - need to watch all these as it looks as though there might be some sort of story...

With chapters 1 and 2 (first 6 tracks) having been made available over the past few months, there was only 4 to add. It's a decent album - I think "Cleopatra" on the whole is better, but I can see myself giving "III" repeated enough listens. "Gloria" and "Donna" are my favourites along with "Life In The City" and "It Wasn't Easy To Be Happy For You". Love the vocal as always. One of my very favourites. Love their vibe, so chilled out, easy for me to put on whilst I get on with work.
