oscar13 Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Love this, glad they're back after all those years I would say my early favorites are You First, Crave, and Running Out Of Time.

EDD Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Holy crap, guys! This is probably their best work EVER, even topping self titled for me. I can't put into words how proud I am of them and how far they've gotten with musicality and all the sh they've been through along their story. Specially Hayley. Her vocals are phenomenal in this. She's singing better than ever and there were moments that I was in complete awe listening to this. I love the dark, haunting yet upbeat vibe of the album. My favs are definitely You First, Figure 8, Crave, Thick Skull and The News (which stood out on the album listening for me compared to how I felt with is as a stand alone). I will probably listen to this non stop for months. And for the first time, I don't think they'll ever top this album. A genius, intense and utter work of art. Wow
Lyrical Liar Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 The singles being my least favourite songs- The album was a pleasant surprise tbh. I went in thinking I'd hate it and that's not the kinda mindset you want as a longtime stan. This is cute and perfect for the seasonal change. Whoever said Crave is Decode 2.0...Specsavers do free hearing tests, sis.
Lord Of Countdown Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 "Running Out of Time" and "You First" are amazing, the standouts. "The News" remains a masterpiece. Seeing them live in a month here in São Paulo. Getting hyped!

Dragonfly Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 I'm both the killer and the final girl So who, who are you? maybe they made some poinTs
K$Ellie Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 actually love this even though i didn't care for the singles their second best after self titled C’est Comme Ça, This Is Why, Running Out Of Time, Figure 8 and Thick Skull are sooo good
Ger Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Wait, I see amazing comments about it, maybe I'll give them a chance after not being not so surprised with the singles.
ATRL Moderator Verge of Obscene Posted February 10, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted February 10, 2023 so concise, so cohesive, such an easy listen. bravo!!
smoore95GAGA Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Just came to say that Crave is their 2nd best song after 26 ok byeeee
ZORBIT Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 still irks me a bit the sound quality isn't loud enough, I enjoy most of this still
Witchpop Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Like this is their best album. Hayley, Taylor and Zac showed TF up and did the damn thing It just gets better with every listen
JohnWayneHolland Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 The fact that it gets better with each listen obsessed
PieceByPiece_KC Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Just popping in to say Crave is one of the best songs I've ever heard
Roger Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Just started to play the album and... am I crazy or they did some tweaks on the title track and The News? I SWEAR TO GO THEY SOUND WAY MORE POLISH than when they originally released it. And I'm playing the songs in the same Hi-Fi system. They sound more polish, better mastered. Tell me I'm not the only one who notices this lol

As a Kate Bush fan for a long time I learned the hard way that some producers (including Kate Bush herself) decide to sacrifice sound volume (making it lower to avoid clipping) in favor of sound quality as this helps every instrument to have more room to breathe instead of becoming pure noise and making the ears having a hard time to detect every instrument and sound. If you are playing the album in Spotify, you can set the volume louder in the spotify configuration. In Apple I guess there's something similar (because iTunes had this for every each song manually).

worldwide angel Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 this is such a great album the second half (really starting with big man, little authority and everything that follows) is immaculate CRAVE needs to be a single
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted February 10, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted February 10, 2023 i enjoy the album a lot more than pitchfork but i don't necessarily disagree with some of their critiques. on the whole i think the lyrics are subpar but the album is so good otherwise that i can overlook that
mokitsu Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Figure 8 is one of their best. very twilight soundtrack. i love it
DancingShoes Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) It’s a pretty good album especially the second half of it but I do understand some of the criticism. Crave is the one Edited February 10, 2023 by DancingShoes
EdgeofTeeth Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 the 91 is without the Pitchfork score factored in, mess
Roger Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Best way to describe the album, a blend of these songs: - Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris - 26 - All I Wanted - Future
