good album. the way they speak about it (and the lyrics of richey) makes me feel like they really just wanted it to be a one-off sound/album, along with the fact there are no singles. will be interesting to see where they go from here, i guess - but then i have missed out everything since Everything Must Go.

Btw the album is called Journal For Plague Lovers, not Journals. You might want to change that. Nitpicking

Upon first listen, I thought almost every song in the middle section of this album was kind of boring and uninspired sounding. The beginning and end were great though, especially the bonus song.



I also didn't like Nicky's vocals on William's Last Words too much. They felt a little too emotionless for the song.

This band has always struck me as super interesting, I think I should definitely pick something of theirs up.

Album cover looks like Rhianna after a run in with Chris Brown.

Been listening to Journal For Plague Lovers on repeat every day since I bought it! Brilliant record and a perfect compliment to The Holy Bible.

A little dissapointing, but it's still pretty good. Peeled Apples, Me and Stephen Hawking, All is Vanity, Leper Colony, Williams Last Words are all great.

Quite a bit of filler, though, and the hidden track was kind of pointless.
