June 25, 20196 yr Overall I was disappointed with the album as a whole and I don’t think anything is anywhere near as the majority of their first album, Good Grief and Send It Off. I still think they would have been wise to put ‘Happier’ on the album for extra sales and to help it hold up better but I can’t see this campaign lasting past the summer which is a great shame.
June 25, 20196 yr Yeah I really like this album! Really interesting concept, and I actually think a lot of the album tracks are better than the single choices.
June 26, 20196 yr What a boring album from an otherwise great British band. “Joy” is the only standout track for me - I don’t see any singles beyond this doing well at all; which is a shame.
June 26, 20196 yr agree, quite disappointing album, showing zero evolution and being as plain and fast as album 2 also agree, amazed the label didn't force Happier to be in here, maybe they don't own the rights, cos having Happier would have meant many more streams
June 26, 20196 yr Well, it is a concept album. Maybe they felt Happier wouldn't have fit with it, it wasn't originally written by Dan to be a Bastille song.
June 26, 20196 yr I think generally they've always been pretty in control of what they release. Marshmello and Bastille are both on Universal labels, so it would've been possible though.
June 30, 20196 yr This is actually a pretty good album. I like that it’s short, Wild World was a bit too long. Bastille were never going to smash with this and are unlikely to have massive hits again outside of features. It’s a shame but it happens to most bands.
July 1, 20196 yr If they were to be a song to do well on this album, Million Pieces is the only song I would say would do anything.
September 21, 20195 yr "Bad Desicions" looks to be the next single as the video releases on Wednesday - a great choice!
September 22, 20195 yr this era has been such a non-event, their debut was incredible but since then they've been like zero inspired
October 13, 20195 yr Were any singles like 'Bad Decisions' ever playlisted or supported anywhere? Haven't really heard them since the album release!
