Posted March 4, 201114 yr http://soundcloud.com/1ftp/wild-beasts-albatross Radio rip of what I think is the first single? Exciteddd.
March 4, 201114 yr It's slightly more Elbow-ish than the sound of the last record. I see they've kept the Geneva-esque vocals.
March 4, 201114 yr Yes! Yes! Yes! Absolutely Loved the Two Dancers album. Empty Nest, Two Dancers(i) and (ii), Underbelly and Fun Powder Plot. Hope this will be just as great. Hope we'll hear alot of vocals from Tom Fleming since I tend to like his a bit over Hayden Thorpe's. You gotta' love this, right.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hnzvHxaa9o Edited March 4, 201114 yr by Thomsen

May 3, 201114 yr I reviewed this last week. It was ok but I don't think it's the album they could have made, the one that would see them catapulted onto the main stages at festivals this year. I think their songs are often missing a chorus, and Tom Fleming's are a little brooding.
May 3, 201114 yr Author I like its restrained nature actually; I don't really see them as a headliner type of group. Sounds really nice to me on first listen. :wub:
May 3, 201114 yr In terms of quality as a group of songs and consistency, Two Dancers is my favourite album ever. Every other track of theirs, before and after, I've found to be inferior to even the weakest track on it. I'm still craving for another 'Underbelly' or 'When I'm Sleepy' though. Gorgeous.
May 5, 201114 yr I really love the band... but.... I just can't take his vocals over a whole album. One reviewer likened Wild Beasts to latter day Talk Talk and Mark Hollis - it's a very good comparison......
May 6, 201114 yr I really love the band... but.... I just can't take his vocals over a whole album. One reviewer likened Wild Beasts to latter day Talk Talk and Mark Hollis - it's a very good comparison...... Exactly how i feel about it. Like the other albums I tend to favorite the songs with Tom Fleming's as vocals. Two dancers(I) Two Dancers(II) and Empty Nest are also without a doubt the best songs they've made.

May 7, 201114 yr I think I like this more than Two Dancers. It's literally brilliant. I can't really choose my favourite yet. This is definitely more subtle but it's absolutely gorgeous. Job well done etc.
May 9, 201114 yr Now that my first Gang Gang play has finished, I've moved on to this and it's equally great so far. I'm actually finding it to be quite melodic, who needs a stadium sized chorus anyway?
