March 22, 20205 yr The second half of the album is better than the first, I agree with those comments. It's a solid album and I can see myself returning to it. In Your Eyes is SUBLIME. Faith another favourite ~
March 23, 20205 yr Author Deluxe version out now, including four remixes and the SNL version of "Scared To Live".
March 23, 20205 yr Aside from In Your Eyes I really feel in the minority here. The first four tracks were my favourites so I’m feeling the first half more than the second off just initial listens.
March 25, 20205 yr Save Your Tears is soooo good. His pop/dance/synth stuff is ALWAYS so much better than his dark, dreary self indulgent stuff.
March 25, 20205 yr Finally got my copy from HMV this morning - love the fact that it has a different cover and included a 7” vinyl :cheer: The album is immense - wasn’t sure on first listen but absolutely love it now.

March 25, 20205 yr things people will do for money I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Yes his music is more commercial than the Trilogy days, but I don't actually think it's worlds away from that. A few more synths and electronic sounds added here and there, maybe a few more positive and universal messages, but the general vibe is fairly similar. The new album isn't chasing any trends so I don't know how it can be seen as selling out for money - if anything I think it will kick start a new era of synth-darkwave music with this album being seen as a the spearhead for it. Trust me, I miss The Trilogy days as well, but if you can look past that the music is good. As soon as Trilogy was done and he released the first song post-it, it was clear that that sound was left behind and he was going to start experimenting. Good on him I say ~

OMG me too! And I got the vinyl as well I was so confused thinking I didn’t order this. Did it just come if you ordered the album. Explains why they couldn’t fit it through my letter box and I had to re arrange delivery.

Yes the vinyl got added as a last minute HMV exclusive - think it was originally meant for Amazon but as they have taken their focus off of entertainment for the time being they got diverted to HMV :cheer:

March 25, 20205 yr I was enjoying this so much that I snapped up a splattered white and red collector's vinyl off his store when I was half way through *.* The first three songs are such a strong start, definitely not getting the comments about the start of the album being weak! I found the genre-blending to be an enjoyable surprise, having not read a lot about the album beforehand. My favourite discovery of the the lot was 'Alone Again'. <3 'Faith' was my favourite of the second half. 'In My Eyes' definitely makes sense as the next single as it was sounding like one of the most commercial songs left. Consider me sold on this album, I suspect it'll be a new fave for me to listen to at Halloween Title track >>> when it comes to the whole project but it was going to take a LOT to top that
March 25, 20205 yr 'Faith', 'Hardest To Love', 'Save Your Tears' and 'Alone Again' are my biggest standouts from the album tracks - I can defo see why 'In Your Eyes' is the song people are latching onto the most and I did think that was good as well although I think 'Save Your Tears' sounds like it could be a good single choice too if he does end up pushing any more songs after the album release. V impressed with the album as a whole (tracks 4-6 were a bit of a lull but it was great before and after that x).
