Album Rating: 3.5
A bit light on melody this one but it has a uniqueness that I think will serve it well in the grand scheme as part of a complete discography

Whats with everyone's obsession with the Far Cry: Blood Dragon font lately

I think it's a bit of a cynical wink on an album that packs a fair few more

Swell review as usual Doof!
Looking at your past ratings for these guys I'm prepay impressed. They sound like they're a bit outside my usual fare (though that Talk Talk allusion intrigued me); would I dig them?

Thanks Boney, you'd like either 'Two Dancers' or 'Smother' the most I'd guess
Can you handle plummy vocals?
|
| |
Can't stand 'em.
Top drawer review doof dude.
|
| |
If I'm in the right mood I can Doof.
May give this a spin and see how I feel, from your review it sounds like this is somewhat of a departure for them so I guess even if I don't feel this I may still dig some of their other stuff.

Cheers zak, not a fan of this lot at all?
Probably my favourite British band of the last ten years (I know that isn't saying too much, not exactly a lot of competition)
|

I've not really given them the time to be honest doof mate.
Another Anthony Hegarty load of music student warbled nonsense.
|
| |
Never heard em doof, is this a good starting point?
|
| |
Music student warbled nonsense Dan dude steer clear. Stick on the Dino Jr road of truth

They're nothing like Hegarty for me, they remind me more of the Droogs from Clockwork Orange, especially on the early albums
Also Tom Fleming's voice > Guy Garvey's

One of my favourite bands of all time. Gutted to read that Fleming's role is reduced because his voice is so warm. Great review though, excited to listen in full, and I've turned around massively on all the singles.
EDIT: zak, these guys far surpass the faux-political tripe of ANOHNI. Great, candid lyricists and the grooves to boot. Each album is markedly different. I could warble about them for days to be honest.

That summary made me think this was gonna be a hip hop album

Album Rating: 3.5
Anatelier - I was torn between a 3.5 and 4 for this rating, it's probably going to end up my least favourite of theirs so far. I plumped for a 4 because I possibly regretted not giving higher ratings to a couple of other reviews of new releases this year.
The interaction between Thorpe and Fleming isn't really there this album because if Tom's providing backing vocals they usually are heavily effects laden this time

I've not rated any WB album lower than a 4, but having said that I may need to revise them. Hard for me to pick a favourite, but I reckon Two Dancers just edges it.

'Smother' is just ahead of 'Two Dancers' for me but it's a close thing.

Album Rating: 2.0
I feel obligated to check this, but the first single was such a steaming heap of shit from out of nowhere that I don't even know what to expect- even after your review, which was good, btw.

Dbizzles - If you hated 'Get My Bang' I'd expect at most you'll only enjoy half of this - the more typical Wild Beasts songs:
Celestial Creatures, 2BU, Ponytail, Dreamliner
'Get My Bang' grew on me a lot (the layering and little details) more than the second single, the opener, but I've kinda warmed to the approach taken as part of a whole album

Get My Bang won me over with the line "we're living alter ego, which me do you wanna know?"
