The singing is rather awful on a couple of tracks.

oh, so it's a Rapture album

I would never have guessed there might be awful singing on songs by the Rapture.

Well, I'd never singing on a Rapture record -- they thankfully shouted a lot.

Man, the Dusted review of this is quashing a lot of my excitement:
The rest of the album, however, is uniformly mediocre, except where it’s terrible.

This is dull, too much songwriting, not enough groove.

man, the chorus on "how deep is your love" just makes me think of sisqo

The second side is terrific, especially "How Deep is Your Love" (not a Bee Gees cover), but the first half drags.

"how deep is your love" is great even if its a weak attempt to re-capture "echoes" era agngsty anthems
i've had "sail away" on loop all day. its such an incredible opener that it took two or three listens before i realized i didn't much care for the 3 or 4 songs that followed it.
"it takes time to be a man" is a nice closer, too.
otherwise i'm not crazy into it, but i can keep the whole album on without skipping any tracks. def my most listened to album in the last two weeks, regardless.

playing this, on "Never Die Again"
wtf happened to the singing
I LIKED the yelpy tremulous Robert Smith-esque wailing, what is this smoothed out boring midrange shit
like, this isn't BAD, but it also isn't what I want from The Rapture

this album is so much damn fun; I liked the Holy Ghost album a bunch but this is basically a fifty-times-better version of that.

agreed. the new style singing works great on How Deep Is Your Love but over the course of the album I'm not feeling it.
weak attempt to re-capture "echoes" era agngsty anthems
this song doesn't really sound like anything off Echoes to me but it's def. the best track on here

ive never thought to myself before this record "hey that guy from the Rapture sure does a good job of singing"

This is mostly p boring, but "Never Die Again" and the single are jams.

Listening to this album again, and looking over the lyrics... it's about him finding Jesus, right?
