First listen was very exciting, there's so much to unpack!
THE GREAT UNKNOW is undoubtedly their best opening, that FUCKING song
Rou has never sang better.

Sadly, I think this is by far their weakest album lyrically.
That being said though, Marionettes, TINA and Satellites have great lyrics. And Satellites is fucking cute i love it

I gotta say though, the stuff from this is gonna play out strangely live. So much stuff from here won't lend itself to the chaotic audience fun their stuff normally allows

Gave this 2 spins so far and I'm digging it more than I thought I would. Still miss the more aggressive sounds from the AFFOC/Mindsweep era, but this was fun for sure.

Also, I have to say the compression here is over the top, the album could have a better sound.

Enter Shikari is one of my favorite bands and I absolutely adore their first four albums and Rat Race EP but don't like The Spark for a myriad of reasons that maybe aren't worth going into. That said, my fingers were crossed tight as hell that this album would be a return to the sounds of the band that I love.
I'm only 4 tracks in and this already feels like such a huge "return to form" if you want to call it that. None of this band's albums sound the same but this feels more like the natural progression I'd have expected after The Mindsweep. I'll see what my final thoughts are when I hit the end of the album.
One major thing for me is that the production on this is millions of times better than on The Spark and Rou seems to have remembered he can sing decently and write some great hooks.

Haven't listened to this or The Spark. I kind of went off the band in general in between Flash Flood and The Mindsweeper (the latter of which I wasn't keen on). Is this worth a listen?

If you're expecting something hard hitting and aggressive, then maybe not. I personally really enjoyed The Spark for its introspection, which I value a lot more than political stuff and this has a tonne of interesting musical ideas
|
| |
Yeah, the political side is something I'm not as keen on. While I do love it when bands discuss political issues in their music, I've always found the way that Shikari approach it as overly preachy and pretentious
