Yasss I love Alec, he hasn't released a bad song, Mind Is A Prison was gorge. I was at his London gig too, or one of them, so solid.

Completely agree. The weakest of the new ones but still nice.

Another new single in 3 weeks, this one's called Oh My God as per previous tweets of his, then The Book of You & I will follow - he performed the latter on tour and it was gorgeous!

Another great song wub.gif!

Album tracklist:

1. Mind Is a Prison
2. Demons
3. Oh My God
4. The Book of You & I
5. Match In the Rain
6. Jesus In LA
7. I'm Not a Cynic
8. Alamo
9. Must Have Been the Wind
10. Just Like You

A little disappointed it's only 10 tracks long, as we've now had 5 from the album and The Book of You & I is out before the album too laugh.gif but I'd rather 10 excellent tracks without any filler!

Finally out! No new songs ended up being added but the four newies are really strong. I was a little worried I wouldn't enjoy this as much as Narrated for You but everything gels so well together, and Alec's still as incredible as ever. Undoubtedly my favourite songwriter around, and this album really had me feeling emotional throughout. Not an easy task...!

Yes, this is great, and you're right the four newbies are great, especially Match In The Rain.

My rank would probably be:
01. Mind Is A Prison
02. Match In The Rain
03. Must Have Been The Wind
04. Oh My God
05. I'm Not A Cynic
06. Jesus In LA
07. Just Like You
08. Demons
09. Alamo
10. The Book of You & I

Pretty great rank there!! Mine would be something like:

1. Must Have Been the Wind (this is second only to Let Me Down Slowly overall for him, it's one of the most well-written pop songs of the 2010s imo??)
2. Mind Is a Prison
3. Match In the Rain
4. Jesus In LA
5. Just Like You
6. Alamo
7. Demons
8. Oh My God
9. I'm Not a Cynic
10. The Book of You & I (this is still really cute though!)

wub.gif wub.gif every one of these songs has a top 20 peak in my personal chart - the first album to ever achieve that! Ties the record for most #1 singles (5) and breaks the record for most top 10s (8 - Alamo and I'm Not a Cynic are the only ones not to make it)

'Match In The Rain' is a really fantastic song, easily the best I have heard from him. heart.gif

I really enjoyed 'Must Have Been The Wind' and 'Mind Is A Prison' as well from the previous singles - I'll probably check out the other three (!) songs on the album that weren't already released, might as well given I've already heard 70% of the album laugh.gif
