Ohh, I missed that one. Thanks!

 

Six years and this is the best they came up huh?

 

Four is still my favorite album from them. I hope this one rules too. Haven’t heard the single yet.

 

Four and A Weekend In The City are my favorites.

 

Meh, not sure how I feel about that single. I honestly have only enjoyed the one-off track here and there ever since 'One More Chance'. 'Silent Alarm' though, in my opinion, is one of the best indie rock debuts of all time.

 

Musically that makes me interested to hear more definitely. Four was decent. Silent Alarm is a perfect album and probably in my top ten. I like Intimacy a lot. One Month Off, Your Visits Are Getting Shorter and Flux are anytime songs for me.

 

Intimacy never did much for me, so I thought Four was a great return to form album. Haven't gone back to Hymns since it came out

 

Hymns has some pretty great songs, which makes it baffling with that lead single choice

 

I think Kele has always been a pretty awkward lyricist and considering how prolific he is, I'm not surprised with his contribution here.
However, I think there's a lot to like here even if the songs basic. They have an actual drummer again, Russell seems to have that freedom he enjoyed during the 'Four' recordings here, there's some need production trickery on some of the verse vocal areas...
I'm enjoying the littler details within this.

 

Kele's worst is some of the worst there is, but he also wrote "This Modern Love", "Kreuzberg", "Rhododendrons" etc. he can clearly write a great lyric when he tries to, just makes the absolute lack of effort on songs like this even more painful

 

I've always been a big "Ion Square" fan myself

 

This might be my favorite song of theirs on first listen. Big foals vibes.
