March 14, 200916 yr Whoa, new album already or a single? Good thing. :D They might become a one-hit wonder though...
June 19, 200916 yr Author 'Blue Skies' the lead single gets its world premiere on the Zane Lowe Show on Monday... They are giving the title track away for free via their website: http://www.noahandthewhale.com/FDOS.html
June 19, 200916 yr 'The First Days of Spring' isn't what I think it will sound like. :o I was thinking of something similar to 5 Years Time or Shape of My Heart. :o Pretty good, anyway. :)
June 19, 200916 yr I found it thoroughly dull. 'Peaceful..' proved they can produce more mellow tracks without boring the listener to sleep, so this is disappointing.
June 22, 200916 yr Very mellow. I like it, but it lcks the sheer infectiousness of their surprise smash hit 5 Years Time (that topped my Personal Chart).
June 23, 200916 yr Author 'Blue Skies' is just lovely. No other words. Mellow but just beautiful and subtle :wub:
June 23, 200916 yr 'Blue Skies' is just lovely. No other words. Mellow but just beautiful and subtle :wub: Agreed Jake. I'm not a massive fan of theirs (like 5 Years Time but that's it) but this is really good.
September 3, 200915 yr Their album is easily the greatest surprise of the year so far. It's absoutely wonderful and has so much more substance than their debut. One of my top 3 albums of the year.
September 3, 200915 yr Now I absolutely detested 5 Years Time, twee and utterly irritating, the worst record I heard last year. So I thought I would give Blue Skies a listen on youtube just to see if it is as bad and... Bloody Hell! What a difference! This is a wonderful single. Just the right sort of melancholia suited to the Autumn. Fabulous!
September 3, 200915 yr OMG! I have just listened to the album and this is an astonishing record. I am not usually one to gush over albums I have heard once (I think the last one I did was Kid A!), but this is a brilliant record from start to finish.
September 4, 200915 yr It really is a brilliant album. And what makes it better is that it is so unexpected (for me anyway). 'Blue Skies', 'My Broken Heart' and 'Stranger' in particular are just wonderful. :wub:
September 4, 200915 yr I have to agree that this one has taken me completely by surprise. A complete turnaround from the first album. Just shows what getting your heart broken can do.
September 4, 200915 yr I'm glad I'm not the only person that's completely overwhelmed by this album. :wub:
September 10, 200915 yr Decided to give this a bit of a listen over the last week and WOAH. :drama: Suprisingly stunning. A deep break-up album that contains only one filler is not bad at all. They've definitely stepped it up a notch. Each track is either a lyrical or instrumental masterpiece. Vocals are pretty decent too. Can't really pick out a stand out track atm but shall soon, album is everything timeless after all.
September 10, 200915 yr szbB-vLVnoQ I can't get over how wonderful this is.OMG! LOOOOOVE THAT! :o I think I'll give the album a listen tomorrow! WOW! EDIT: I decided to give this a listen tonight... and I love it! Love the consistency of it and I am pleasently surprised. I've never listened to their debut so I don't know how it compares, but I don't know whether it's good to listen to the first now after listening to that, coz I'll be expecting big things! LOL!
October 17, 200915 yr I cannot say i like the whole album from the first listening but i am in love now with "Love of an orchestra". Very powerful and lovely lovely harmonies!
