07 If You're Over Me

 

Bandwagon jumping (and including all the singles, poor brave ‘Worship’ :P). For me, the singles released from this album are amongst their previous lows. They’re still yet to record anything close to ‘King’ imo, I do enjoy all of these songs though, and I’d say ‘If You’re Over Me’ is their catchiest since ‘King’... but definitely the most throwaway!

the reaction here to the singles from this era has really surprised me.. 'if you're over me' is up there with their best for me.

+ when has the description 'basic' ever been a problem for any of us?

Everyone ignoring Real too :drama:

 

If You're Over Me has grown on me a lot just like Sanctify did. The songs so far definitely are nowhere near as instant as the ones from their debut but they have longevity.

Why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

same, If you're over me is too poppy, it's not them, it's like 100% Steve Mac 0% Y&Y, it's a good bubblegum pop song but it's not them

 

for me:

Desire>Eyes shut>King>>>>Sine>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sanctify>>>>If you're over me

You love all of these?

 

I was being sardonic, regarding the "drop in quality" despite the gradual improvement of scores with the last few.

Of course, because releasing consistent 10's and then dropping down to a 5/6 on their new material isn't a drop in quality.

Not ‘All For You’ being the first GREAT track so far?! Why wasn’t this the lead??

God, YES! What the hell were they thinking going for 'Sanctify' when they had this?!

 

Maybe if they go for it as the next single it'll properly shape it into a successful second era for them. This and the title track have properly got me back on board with them now.

 

 

I still don’t like the title track that much. But i feel like this proves that their music is at its best when they don’t overthink it too much and don’t try to make their songs smarter than they are.

I agree with this in theory but look at If You're Over Me.
