Fantastic album on first listen! Jealous is stunning.

Need to give the full album a listen but oh my LORD 'Full Swing'. What an opener.

'mean what i mean' is top 5 year material, beyond incredible...going to listen to album later, so f***ing excited cheers

 

Album is very good on first listen!

 

Need to give the full album a listen but oh my LORD 'Full Swing'. What an opener.

 

Absolutely, hopefully the next single.

Can't get over how good this album is. I'd loved everything I'd heard from it, but I really wasn't expecting the whole thing to be so strong.

Not sure I could rate it just yet because it would probably be 10s throughout...but definitely one of the albums of the year (in what's proving to be an incredibly strong year for albums).

 

Absolutely loving the 'Breathe'-esque production on 'Not Above Love' :heart:

Went and bought this today, I wasn't keen on the debut album but I'm In Control and Mean What I Mean got me hyped for this one, and it really delivers, such an improvement album-to-album :wub:

i'm so excited to sit down and listen to this. i've heard nothing but good and all the songs so far have been 11s

'jealous'

Not Above Love, Hold Your Head High and Jealous are my favourites beyond the singles I think :wub: so so good. Although speaking of singles, I Remember the song still isn't really clicking, possibly my least favourite on the album?

I never listened to 'Body Music' because I was only really keen on 'Attracting Flies' and the fact that they re-released 'You Know You Like It' again didn't give me much hope that the album would be good. I've just listened to this album though, based upon how much I love 'I'm in Control' & 'Mean What I Mean' and the great reviews in here, and I very much enjoyed it. It's a great album on first listen and I agree with Joseph's highlights! I'm still not really getting into 'I Remember' or, particularly 'My Blood' though.

'My Blood' is incredible :(

 

So up my street so shame you've not managed to find love for it

My top three for now:

 

:heart: I Remember

:heart: Not Above Love

:heart: In My Head

 

Pretty good, though Wanderlust feels like a week closure.

52 in the midweeks?

 

Jesus.

 

Such a great pop album.

“I Remember” is a summer BANGER, easily the best song on the album. It's like a cross between Purity Ring and Deadmau5, amazing!

Hope something helps the album pick up later, would be a travesty for it to go by largely unnoticed. One of the albums of the year and so current in sound, could easily see the majority of the songs here being massive hits.

 

I was going to attempt a rate again but I ended up with an 11, six 10s and only one below a 9...think I'll leave it for a bit :')

'Heartbreak Horizon' is the only one I'm not completely adoring right now but even that I'd probably give at least a 7.5 haha. Plus some of the production on that 👌🏼

Can't believe this isn't even top 40 in the albums!

"i remember" is gorgeous though, i don't think it's a capital-B Banger like the other singles but it's emotive and flume's production suits the wistfulness of the lyrics + aluna's vocals so beautifully.
