In fact don't think I would have gotten into it so easily without previously listening to Arcade Fire. Based on this I've just had a quick listen... and I like what I hear! So thanks to you both.

Best pop album in years. This is worse than comparing Charli XCX/Marina and the Diamonds to Carly Rae and T Swiz. Good lord. A complete insult to Chvrches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagles69 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Can't really get the love for Carly Rae Jepson have tried just sounds poor. For quality pop always got to hand it to the scandinavians always the best.

No. I was just saying that if you don't regard yourself as 'above' listening to pop music you should welcome the new Chvrches record into your life cos it's the best pop album produced this year. Not putting Meghan Trainor on a level with Chvrches, agree that would be silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm with Floorfiller on this one and was surprised to see people think otherwise. The second Chvrches album felt pretty middling and just urged me to listen to the first one again, and that's probably had more listens since Every Open Eye was released. But yeah it's cool that there are people out there that do appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 the second album to me just sounded like more of the same except the thrill of hearing that sound for the first time was gone, and i just don't think the songs were as strong this time round. nothing on there as good as The Mother We Share, We Sink, Night Sky etc, and i'm with dental in that it just made me want to listen to the first one again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Prefer the second one myself, same sort of stuff but they pushed it further and amped up the energy. Nothing on the first album as huge as 'Clearest Blue' or 'Never Ending Circles' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones disappointed me at first because of the pretty 18 months of hype that preceded it, but it really does hold up as a great listen, songs on the new one just aren't as good.

I loved their early EPs but was not sold on their album at all. Yeah I'm the same. As you say the EPs are great and showed a lot of promise but the album seemed a bit underwhelming. Giant Peach is really good but apart from that and maybe a couple of other songs I don't think there's anything on it as good as the EPs. It was strange to leave Moaning Lisa Smile, one of their best songs, off the UK version of the album too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
