Get To Heaven

This is a dense, energetic album that balances bright, intricate production with dark, anxious themes. “To The Blade” is a stunning opener: rapid-fire drums, sharp guitars, and a clear, busy mix that never feels cluttered. Songs like “Regret” (with its 80s-style chorus and choral backing) and “Blast Doors” (with its tempo shifts and lyric focus) are standouts that kept me engaged. “Fortune 500” provided an eerie breather and pulled me in with its hypnotic build, though tracks like “Get to Heaven” and “The Wheel (Is Turning Now)” didn't leave the same impression, not even after a few listens. A bit like Foals meeting Muse meeting Duran Duran meeting Talking Heads. The mix of synth-wave, indie rock, and sharp rhythms works well, with a socially charged edge. An album that thrives on its energy and its ability to make you move even while lyrically dealing with violence, media saturation, and chaos. I knew some of the singles already, but very happy to have now discovered the full album.

Get to Heaven of Everything Everything is great art rock album with an eclectic sound. I got a bit annoyed with the length of the album combined with the falsetto vocals that got on my nerves. That was my fault, I was listening to the deluxe version that is a bit too much. While listening I discovered I already knew "Distant Past" and "Regret". These are fabulous songs. The complexity of the songs is somewhat overdone. Nevertheless I had a The Voice experience with the start of the album. "To the Blade" starts with an a capella part that almost made me turn my carseat around when the song fully blasted into existence.

It's an artform to put such dark lyrics onto happy music like this

Art pop, art rock, progressive pop. Me ha gustado. Venga, un 4.

A banger as well

Aldrig hört talas om tidigare och det här var verkligen en positiv överraskning. Det var jäkligt bra. Nästan inte en dålig låt.

i was out on this album initially while I was sort of half listening as I cooked dinner. Decided to start it again from the top during a nice long bike ride on Sunday and I really keyed in to it! At times sounds like everything from The Police to The Killers, while also managing to sound wholly of its own accord. They do a lot of interesting things with echos and call/response. I enjoyed it!

"Inspired by artists such as Radiohead, Suicide, and Kendrick Lamar" - That's like a carrot under a cardboard box for music critics. I'm surprised this wasn't on the original list. Singer's falsetto took a while to get used to, but I really enjoyed it. Catchy progressive pop with some great lyrics. 4/5.

Great album, mix of modern but also 80’s influences. Great addition to the users list.

I liked this a lot, heavy shades of Radiohead plus maybe some Alt-J? But more rock-and-rolly. Some of the middle stretch felt like filler, and it feels like a sound I might tire of at length depending on how they evolve over time. Still really liked the listen and intending to checknout more from this band that hadn't been on my radar previously.

I get the comparisons to Radiohead I read a lot of, and I could hear what people were talking about in a lot of the songs’ unusual timing and key. Definitely can hear that influence. But this has a very different feel than Radiohead. I found it quite interesting to hear how some similar technique can yield such different results. The lead singer often reminded me of Peter Gabriel. I really noticed that during Zero Pharoah. I wasn’t sure partway through but I ultimately did really like this. I think I will like it more with additional listens.

Good beats. As opposed to the Vegas bad beats. Nothing really stood out for me, but I'd listen to this again. Same as the next album.

This album was surprisingly pretty good. The singer has a more high pitched sound which makes the darker toned lyrics not as obvious. They have a sound that varies and goes between pop rock to harder alt rock. There are times here you can pickup the Radiohead influence but I never once got Kendrick Lamar. They also have a midlake sound on some songs which is cool. Overall I would listen to this album again. Pretty good. 7.1/10

Over rated imo

Yeah, not too bad. 3/5.

I’m a bit suprised that this one wasn’t on the list already, it seems like just the kind of thing critics would’ve snapped up for the 2010s. Good album with some great tracks

This alt rock album played while I listened

After listening to more than 1200 albums, when the Wikipedia entry reads "[album name] is the [nth] studio album by [British/UK-based] band [band name]." I start my listening session with a pintch of salt (🙄). The original 1001 list has already covered most of the noteworthy ones (actually often going too far). However, this album gave me something to think about, particularly in its opening tracks. While it's a little longer than it needs to be, I finished my listening with a bittersweet feeling, it might have been even better if it had ended earlier. Still, it’s a solid 3-star album. Maybe the UK has more surprises in store for me after all.

The quality of this didn't hold through if from start to finish, but it was definitely an interesting album with some decent songs. It seemed almost like a modern take on Talking Heads but with some pretty dark and politically themed lyrics.

Torn on this one, when the dance instrumentation and layered vocals lock together it absolutely rocks, but that's not always the case. Does feel like some of the arrangements are structured a bit oddly and don't always mesh into a cohesive track, but this doesn't happen frequently enough to ruin the listening experience by any means. I did appreciate how distinct a sound the band cultured throughout the LP – this was super-evocative of mid-teens indie without being trapped by those associations, and it was nice to return to some decade-old memories as a result.

Pretty good
