I’ve herd it once before and I like it but just a tad overrated for me but hey it’s a new day so I’ll try it with new ears… Also for the neighbourhood songs I am just gonna call them by whatever is in the brackets as I find the whole multi part idea stupid when the songs have no real musical flow and are completely separate works… The album opens with tunnels, one of the most enjoyable tracks of the album, perfect instrumentation for the album’s opener with the grand build up in tempo throughout truly an epic tune! Laika has a great chorus but the vocals on the verses are too muffled and static really for me. Une anee sans lumiere is a song that I appreciate for speaking in a different language ( well for the odd line or two at least) and feels like a nice mid side 1 break ( so I guess the neighbourhood thing does work). Power out is really explosive ( like a dark disco track) but it also has these playful bell sounds that make it really unique to be honest! 7 kettles is a nice slow song to end the whole dumb neighbourhood thing and this is the album’s worst track, well performed but mediocre. < note to self: well I guess the first two songs make sense as a part of “neighbourhood” but doing 3 and 4 is dumb> Crown of love is really soft and sweet great way to rebuild the album after 7 kettles; the dance bit at the end is odd but it’s just a great song to be honest. Wake up is the closest you would get to a full blown rocker on this album ( like it’s all heavy guitars until the last minute or so) and it’s one of the best songs on the album (especially when you give it time like this)! Haiti goes for a female vocalist swapping between English and french over a great rhythm. Not a favourite but I like it especially with the echoey voice. There are these sirens at the end of Haiti that flow perfectly into the penultimate track rebellion ( lies) this song is great like the album’s opener it builds up well as the song progresses but unlike this song this is a proper rocker. The album closes with in the backseat ( another song sung by the female vocalist), a track that really works when the electric guitars crash over her voice making a song that would’ve been just dull and slow into something incredible. Well, I guess I was a bit wrong ( I still think the band are overrated) but this was better than I remembered can’t not give this a 5 ( even if it’s quite a low one).
