After a weekend with the album, I Dare You has emerged as my favourite. Apparently it's about their love for pop music as well! About having no such thing as a guilty pleasure and enjoying everything.
While On Hold and Say Something Loving are excellent, Dangerous and Lips are the real standouts of the album. Gems! Very good album overall.

Dangerous *.* That chorus is so anthemic.

 

A Violent Noise and I Dare You are highlights as well. Didn't expect to like this as much as i have after such a lukewarm first single.

Same here On Hold is just really growing on me now and I first heard it in November!

Keep meaning to post a rate of this

08 Test Me

 

Very strong album I am gonna say so far in 2017 (barely a month I know that this is my album of the year SO FAR)

Yeh same here though Sundara Karma is a fine release too - so many great tracks!
'Say Something Loving' is just wonderful. I do like the album as a whole but I'm not sure if I would say I enjoy it as much as their debut, although they are two completely different records in many respects.

I've not properly listened to their music before - it just seemed far too minimalistic for me and I usually like my music to make an instant impression on me - but I sat down to give I See You a listen and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. It's definitely an album that requires being listened to as a whole but that's not at all a criticism dressed up as a compliment, because a lot of albums sacrifice or don't even care about that cohesive sound or the idea of portraying a journey. There's a clear attention to this and I found myself really captivated by little quirks in the production or interested by even the way words are sung.

 

'On Hold' and 'Say Something Loving' are obvious single material and still represent some of the best of what the album has to offer, then beyond that there's 'Performance' and 'I Dare You' that have proven to be ones I look forward to hearing. 'Say Something Loving' gives me slight Fleetwood Mac vibes and I've picked up on that in certain aspects of other songs.

This was announced earlier as the #1 album in the UK this week so they now have 2 #1 albums to their name *.* Fabulous!

 

'On Hold' also re-peaked at #34 today (matching 'Islands' as their highest peaking single now :o) - plus 'Say Something Loving', 'Dangerous', 'Lips', 'A Violent Noise' and 'I Dare You' all cracked the top 100! Slay *.* Really pleased to see them benefitting hugely from the streaming era; they only had 3 top 100 entries prior to today ('Islands'/'Angels'/'On Hold') so blimey at them almost tripling that amount.

'A Violent Noise' is the clear highlight for me 😍
This is my favourite album of theirs to date, Dangerous in particular is magnificent. THAT beat.

It's Brillant!

I like this album a lot. I'd rank their albums like this:

 

xx > I See You > Coexist

'A Violent Noise' is the clear highlight for me 😍

The more I listen to it, the more I agree.

Same here though the opening track and I Dare You are hard to beat!
'A Violent Noise' has quietly crept up on me and now I really like it. I would definitely bump both that and 'Dangerous' up from my original rate.
Have they chosen a single 2 yet? I feel like it HAS to be Say Something Loving.
