Annoying and detract from the album. 8 minutes ago, st dan said: Agreed - seems like spoken word is very much the flavour of the month, and whilst it does have its place in the right context, it’s certainly not in the middle of a Coral album! Might be a minority, but I like it! Adds something for me, review in the Grauniad mentioned Ogden's Nut Gone Flake as an influence and you can definitely hear that in it.

FloorFiller Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Although I’m aware they’ve been churning out apparently good-great albums all this time, to me The Coral have always just been the Dreaming of You/In the Morning guys, but decided to give this one a whirl and I’m liking it more than I thought I would. Really nice easy listening stuff. And the spoken word bits don’t bother me too much. Short enough that I’d probably never bother to skip them, and serve a nice purpose in breaking up the album a bit. Think this’ll be getting a fair few listens from me. Who’d’a thunk it ey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this isn’t what I was expecting.; mega hooky and a pretty straightforward rock song. I don’t hate it, although honestly I don’t think I’d have known it was Modest Mouse if someone had played it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've struggled to connect with many albums in April but singles from Little Simz and Self Esteem are possible tracks of the year for me and hopefully She Drew The Gun will keep up the good work.

Quark Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) New track from Aussie band Eliza & The Delusionals. Not quite as good as their EP last year for me, but still pretty good. Got quite an early 00s Avril vibe without being irritating. Also that Little Simz track has just been on 6Music. Bloody hell it really is rather good.

I've really enjoyed the songs you've posted so far but had no idea there was an album coming out tomorrow, that'll be a nice change of pace between Squid and Iceage.
