January 16, 20178 yr 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.
January 16, 20178 yr While On Hold and Say Something Loving are excellent, Dangerous and Lips are the real standouts of the album. Gems! Very good album overall.
January 16, 20178 yr 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.
January 17, 20178 yr Same here On Hold is just really growing on me now and I first heard it in November!
January 17, 20178 yr Keep meaning to post a rate of this Rate after listen 2 08 Dangerous 10 Say Something Loving 08.5 Lips 06 A Violent Noise 08 Performance 09 Replica 10 Brave For You 11 On Hold 10 I Dare You 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)
January 17, 20178 yr Yeh same here though Sundara Karma is a fine release too - so many great tracks!
January 19, 20178 yr ZvGxChn59nQ IqzdrlKn18w On The Tonight Show *.* Pleased that they played 'Lips' :wub:
January 19, 20178 yr '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.
January 19, 20178 yr 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.
January 20, 20178 yr 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.
January 22, 20178 yr This is my favourite album of theirs to date, Dangerous in particular is magnificent. THAT beat. Edited January 22, 20178 yr by dandy*
January 23, 20178 yr Booked tickets to go and see them with Bré in Nottingham on March 4th! :cheer: Can't wait *.*
January 24, 20178 yr This is my favourite album of theirs to date, Dangerous in particular is magnificent. THAT beat. It's Brillant!
January 30, 20178 yr I like this album a lot. I'd rank their albums like this: xx > I See You > Coexist
January 30, 20178 yr 'A Violent Noise' is the clear highlight for me 😍 The more I listen to it, the more I agree.
February 5, 20178 yr '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.
