Damn. Really seems like they've abandoned that kind of throwback synthpop sound they previously had. These are pretty damn stale.

so bland now ((

Jesus this was really not good. This sounds like something Imagine Dragons would put out

The ultimate one-trick pony of the tens

Yeah, what's with those Imagine Dragons "Oooooh ooaaaahhh" parts. Why you doin this to me chvrchs :--(

none of these were good :/ Get Out has some really good parts but ughh they can be so much better

"Yeah, what's with those Imagine Dragons "Oooooh ooaaaahhh" parts. Why you doin this to me chvrchs :--("

Exactly what I meant too when I made that comparison.

New stuff is actually decent, feels more like bones than their second album which suuuuuuucked

is good or is bad?

It good

i read imagine dragons and got scared :[

It's not very good, and I'm the one who tells everyone to shush when they say the last album was bad.

idk whats happening to this band imo

$$$

they were good when they were aerogramme

miracle is the worst chvrches song yet. only exciting single has been 'never say die' so at this point i dont see the album being above a 3-3.5 unfortunately

Y'all are acting like Imagine Dragons are there only band ever to do woahs over a chorus

I love their debut but their followup was like a watered-down version of that, very disappointing. prob won't like these then eh?

"Y'all are acting like Imagine Dragons are there only band ever to do woahs over a chorus"

they're the band that ran that gimmick to the ground tho

imagine dragons are popular now so they're timely as a ref point.

All of these songs are merely ok. at this point i dont see the album being above a 3-3.5 unfortunately [2]

the music videos are also bad

Get out is okayish, but all of the other songs are insufferably boring. What’s the opposite of meteoric?

I’ve enjoyed all the singles, which is more than I can say about the last album. Never Say Die is a bit on the bland side though.

never say die makes no sense

It's a song

we're all fucking tools. we despise attention seeking, yet we give and encourage it in every second of our existence. it's true you can't create meaningful/worthwhile art if you have people's opinions in mind, but how do you manage to become independent from people's judgement in our bullshit superficial society? everything you do is instantly judged and we take our judgement serious. it's not regarded as random thoughts, it's regarded as the truth. so everything we ever fucking do is for other people to like and respect us. if it's not the mainstream, it's a small group of people that you respect. or your family. or that one idol you have. but it's never for ideals, never just for the sake of doing the right thing. it's always for the consequence, the positive attention from other people. and then we sit here and judge artists for not resisting the impulses we all fail to resist. FUCK society, FUCK you, FUCK me.

gonna go take a dump now cuz i farted like three times while writing this and the smell is unbearable

^ugh this is bound to become a pasta

??????

... and there's 1688 of that kind?

shite song by a shite band

shite song by a shite band [2]

They were always fucking terrible and obnoxious.

The only way to appreciate this trash is to be an edgy 13 y/o girl. I know that 13 years ago I would probably be all over this crap.

So I'm an edgy 13 y/o girl because I like CHVRCHES music. Yeah that's totally the only reason someone can like this type of music. How do morons like you always manage to come out of the woodwork? Yes this song is trash though

why edgy?

^
Also that because how the fuck can you describe CHVRCHES as edgy at all?

Lol you actually read the lyrics and that’s why you think they’re edgy, right? No one cares about the lyrics in glitzy synth pop, just the vibe. I only wish the band realized that....

I wouldn't say people don't care about the lyrics at all but it's definitely the least I'd say people go looking for with bands like this.

they are part of the music tho

Every Eye Open is still a firm favourite of mine... to hear these songs not have the bouncy and driven energy that made EEO so enjoyable is quite disappointing. These four songs sound so bland and uninspiring, the fact they all have similar tempo and melodies doesn't help either..

Really bad.

We’ll always have The Bones
