March 11, 201015 yr Hope it's not just three decent songs and a load of filler. Exactly, that's precisely what the last album was. It's really funny how there were only three songs that were either whored to death or re-released. Hopefully with them aiming for a solid body of work this time they won't have this problem, fingers crossed.
March 11, 201015 yr I like Flash Delirium, prefer Congratulations tbh but i'm probably alone on that one. Either way, I need to give both a few more listens. I actually liked their last album so i'd have been looking forward to this one anyway.
March 12, 201015 yr The album songs are just as good as the singles i think! Probably just not as radio friendly.
March 21, 201015 yr Listening to leak now, on that really long one Siberian Breaks but i bet it won't be as good as Metanoia.
March 22, 201015 yr You can hear a non-leaked (so totally legitimate) version on the Guardian website :) http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/...congratulations
March 22, 201015 yr OK so I've heard it now. I think it's a lot more consistent than Oracular Spectacular. There aren't any tracks that stand out in the way that Time To Pretend and Kids did but there's no filler either so overall it's very good. It also flows very well as an album so I can see why they don't want any individual tracks released as singles.
March 23, 201015 yr The album is on We7 streaming site as well: http://www.we7.com/#/album/Congratulations...;albumId=455568 I really like this album ... and I think the title track might just be the best thing they've ever done as it sounds like a Dave Gilmour penned track from Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album. Delightful.
March 29, 201015 yr Such a great band...Oracular spectacular was brilliant. Hope their new album gets more support from radio/tv
March 29, 201015 yr Hope their new album gets more support from radio/tv You say that like Kids didn't get played to death :mellow: I actually love 60% of this album now. Song For Dan Treacy is the standout for me at the moment.
March 30, 201015 yr I liked the debut lots but I'm just not inspired to listen to this :( I will bother soon. I have heard 'Congratulations' and thats blah.
March 30, 201015 yr I liked their first record - particularly the first half. Unfortunetley, I haven't been able to get into this new record. I'm sure that's an error on my part though, so I'm going to have to sit down and give it a really good listen to.
March 31, 201015 yr Thought the new Flash Derlium video was boring when i started watching it but it gets typically weird half a through.
