I really want to like this album, I like what I've heard of them, and they seem like solid songwriters. But this album felt long and repetitive. I appreciated when the musicianship switched about halfway through, but nothing really stuck out, and the album seemed to drag on. I want to try more from this style of music, and I appreciate a modern rock opera, but this wasn't my cup of tea.

God The Hazards of Love is boring as all hell. It's just so twee and folksy, 17 songs and an hour long, I get that it tells a story and it does that quite well, so it's not a 1/5 bad, I just didn't like it at all. 2/5.

It was ok but didn’t set my world alight

This was unusual wasn't it?! Not sure really what I made of it at all but I don't think it was my thing. I find story lines a bit draining

It was ok. Just kind of there. The dial didn't move much.

No, not this. 2/5.

Interesting Indie concept album and if I had time to listen to the lyrics/story I may have gotten more out of it, but as someone else said, they are too one dimensional in their sound

Didn't like it
