Posted May 19, 20214 yr Their social profile pics have been updated to a purple circle, they're back! :cheer:
May 20, 20214 yr oh I was rather enjoying their non presence in EDM recently. let’s hope they’ve used their break to improve somewhat as much of their latest material wasn’t that good.
May 20, 20214 yr https://beacons.page/thechainsmokers Titled 'Beacons' potentially? Nope its just something like linktree
May 20, 20214 yr I’m ashamed to admit that I loved their first album. Don’t Say, Young, Paris, My Type, and Honest were all great! Hopefully they go back to this.

April 18, 20223 yr They’ll be putting out another song this week in anticipation for the album. I’ve really not been impressed so far though. @1516034100242661380
April 21, 20223 yr Author ‘Riptide’ is out tonight, sounds really good from the preview on their social media! Very Summery They’ve also confirmed that the hook was written by Chris Martin.
May 13, 20223 yr Has anyone checked out the album yet? Is it even worth bothering with? iNews gives it 2/5. None of the other major blogs/papers have even bothered with it I Love U has a video NmB9Rq1yVmo
May 13, 20223 yr Thought I'd check this out this evening whilst I could. The singles we've had so far seem to be pretty weak compared to the rest of the album tbh. There are some brief highlights in there but they're absolutely a far cry from their beginnings 10 years ago now. The album also could've done with it being more than just 99.9% Drew on vocals as his voice isn't exactly the most gripping to listen to for 45 minutes straight. The production is definitely the saviour and you can tell where Whethan has had his involvement in some of the tracks as he adds a touch of depth in places. Maradona is great with its changes in production, especially towards the end as it builds, and chopped up Fatman Scoop vocal (yes you read that correctly). Solo Mission has some funky wobbly production behind it and good beat kicks with some lovely strings at the end; probably my favourite of the bunch. Channel 1 has a pretty good drop but that's all that's good about it. Testing absolutely slaps in the instrumental parts though the Pure Imagination sample at the end is a little jarring. I Hope You Change Your Mind is rather catchy, though I did think it was going to break out into a Cranberries cover in parts :kink:
May 13, 20223 yr I need to listen to it in full, but really seems like they just ignored the label and decided to make their own project. Totally agree the production is good in most cases from what I have heard. Just seems a bit mad they disappeared for 2 years and came back with this.
May 23, 20223 yr Author I really loved this album! My highlights were 'Riptide', 'I Love U', 'If You're Serious' and 'Testing'. For what it's worth, Drew recently said that their next music will feature other vocalists.
