Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off
"The eponymous track would have been a strong single too, it would've been a hard decision to make." Sorry Tom, I disagree a little there. While it is definitely accessible (so it wouldn't surprise me if it is released as a single), I actually think it is possibly the closest thing to a weak track (excluding the interlude) here.

"the greater ambition and maturity evident here could not have been foreseen by anyone"
I would contest that mate, check out the summary of my review for Antidotes ;) http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=26031
Overall though, good review of a great album.

Everyone needs to hear 'Spanish Sahara'. I won't try to convince you to raise your rating once more Kiran.
Haha. Nice one BillboardBeauty. The strange thing is that I actually had a read of your review about a week ago. Totally forgot the words you used in your summary. Good prediction... Although, can I presume that you didn't quite pick the change of direction. And yes, as Tom asks, do you indeed think this a better album overall than 'Antidotes'?

I think Miami is going to be the next single, zane lowe was talking about it the other night.
Antidotes never really grabbed me but this album is just sublime, cracking review as well man

nice review Davey, though the summary confused me until i read the rest of the write-up. name-dropping Radiohead obviously makes me raise my eyebrows since i found Antidotes to be blasé
|

Nah Davey I like this summary. I think you should write less straightforwardly more often.
|

also i wanna get this asap

"I think Miami is going to be the next single, zane lowe was talking about it the other night. Antidotes never really grabbed me but this album is just sublime, cracking review as well man" Thanks Dogget. And I agree that 'Miami' is the next most obvious single.
"Intrigued." I am here to intrigue you Alex. And you know this type of sound isn't usually my thing.
"nice review Davey, though the summary confused me until i read the rest of the write-up. name-dropping Radiohead obviously makes me raise my eyebrows since i found Antidotes to be blasé" Thanks Drew. Let's hope you are just as positive towards my review after you have heard the album & taken some time to consider the Radiohead name drop.
"Nah Davey I like this summary. I think you should write less straightforwardly more often." Good to hear Adam. I'll need to get a little more elaboration about writing less straightforward. Are you saying this review is more cpmplicated or out there than usual? And btw, I really think you will like this.

Yeah, honestly I think you hold yourself back sometimes by your matter-of-fact tone, the summary and a few extracts from this review are proof of that much. You use single-sentence tangents and whatnot more than I'm used to you doing.
And me too. I have no idea why - Antidotes was alriiiiiiiiight but not amazing by any means.

Yannis Philippakis' vocals remind me of Hutchison from Frightened Rabbit.
Good review, Davey. I was going to try to review this last night, but my internet cut off on me. Got back on this morning and saw that you already had it covered.

Also, I'm completely in agreement with Adam, it's so nice to see you write as boldly as you did in your intro there.
