July 6, 20187 yr Listened to most of it on my way to work, only ‘All For You’ really stood out on first listen. Most of it felt like an early-mid 2000s Male Solo basic bitch album.
July 6, 20187 yr Got my earphones at lunch so have listened to the album.... its good! Need to listen to it a few more times but overall is a decent album; looking forward to seeing them live (again) in a few months
July 6, 20187 yr Most of it felt like an early-mid 2000s Male Solo basic bitch album. well when you ditch your band mates are go for the likes of steve mac/greg kurstin to produce your album those will be the results!
July 6, 20187 yr I'm listening through the album now, Preacher has 100% got to be the next single! :D
July 6, 20187 yr I’ve just got my copy. To be honest, even if it is a bad album, I know I like at least four songs from it!
July 6, 20187 yr I dunno... I can see why it has appeal to some people, it's just not as much to my tastes as their debut was. I'll stick with it for a couple of plays though - you never know...
July 6, 20187 yr It's interesting to see the mixed reviews here, as the critics have all been really positive. I really liked it, I prefer it over their debut and there are some exceptional tracks which stand out.
July 7, 20187 yr One listenthrough later I'm pleasantly surprised! Communion took some time to grow but this was a good interesting listen off the bat! Rendezvous, Preacher and Howl were the three tracks that stood out for me which I hadn't heard before - and Palo Santo sounds a lot better within the context of the album, although I do think it should've been the album closer imo.
July 8, 20187 yr It is growing after a few more listens, I'm particularly finding Sanctify, Hallelujah, All For You, Karma, Up In Flames, Preacher and Palo Santo to be good now.
July 9, 20187 yr Re-listening to this at the moment and the only mis-fire (for me) is Lucky Escape. But I think that's just because its slow and there isn't a great hook. Otherwise this is a strong album and a great follow up to Communion. Edited July 9, 20187 yr by ElectroBoy
July 9, 20187 yr Just hearing IYOM for the first time and it reminds me of 'Sit Still, Look Pretty' :lol: but it's REALLY good.
July 9, 20187 yr I think their new album don't really have any strong hits like the first one. Not as much strong hooks and melodies as I had hope for. But well, still like them thou :D
July 10, 20187 yr Sanctify is the worst track on the album. Not sure what they were thinkin there. I had a listen to the album yesterday and felt the opposite...! Best track on the album for me on first listen. The album is okay I guess. It’s like they had all these levels on "Communion" and now it’s all flat and one dimensional.
July 12, 20187 yr I think the title track has emerged as my favourite out of the 4 released tracks (I still haven't listened to the full album, but I'm eager to do it over the coming days). It's so beautiful. :wub:
July 12, 20187 yr Sanctify is the worst track on the album. Not sure what they were thinkin there. Oh my god
