April 27, 20187 yr The Script suited I/R/A up until Rain came out :P Years & Years are a weird mix of all three really, Sanctify is more Indie sounding I think but King was very Dance, and Desire was definitely Pop. This album is shaping up to be darker too judging by Sanctify and the album/song titles - so perhaps Urban influence too :lol: Time for a Years & Years forum I think ;)
April 27, 20187 yr To be fair, I viewed them as being fairly alternative around the time of 'Real' and 'Take Shelter', obviously what followed after that changed it.
April 27, 20187 yr Years & Years are clearly pop imo but this forum has always been mostly an extension of the pop forum, just for anything even vaguely alternative.
April 27, 20187 yr There are just some acts that are discovered by our more indie leaning posters before the direction of the acts becomes clear - y&y, marina, Lana, Lorde etc could all arguably sit elsewhere but their core fan base on this site tend to be the folk who post in here.

May 8, 20187 yr If You Ain’t Over Me is the next single and is out this FridayIt's called "If You're Over Me". The Standom made a typo. :P
May 9, 20187 yr Praying it’s better than Sanctify, which I think I enjoyed least of all their singles.
May 9, 20187 yr "Sanctify" honestly had me feeling like 'when did Y&Y become so basic?'. A total non-event of a song that is a cliché gay narrative :(
May 10, 20187 yr The plinky plonk production is a bit of a choice...But the chorus sounds like it could be a bit more memorable than Sanctify at least. Overall it’s still a bit meh as compared to King/Take Shelter / Shine they’re on a 0/2.
May 10, 20187 yr This hasn't made much of an impression on me on first listen. I can't remember how it goes and I listened to it only 10 minutes ago.
May 10, 20187 yr Yeah, Imagine Dragons was my first thought too. I actually loved Sanctify but this is terrible.
May 10, 20187 yr Anyone else getting that Imagine Dragons song from it? Yeah, Imagine Dragons was my first thought too. I actually loved Sanctify but this is terrible. Do you mean American Authors? Y66j_BUCBMY This is what I thought of on first listen. Definitely prefer "Sanctify" over this.
May 10, 20187 yr I think I was thinking of On Top of the World, but that one sounds even more like it (plus I did think that was Imagine Dragons :’))
