Really satisfied with this album. There are better individual tracks on some of the other albums (although KOBK is their best song in aaaages) but overall I think it’s my favourite since BH&R or the Resistance. Even the tracks I wasn’t sure of at first like Liberation (although nothing on USOE) I now really enjoy. Only one I’d consider skipping is WOTP and it’s really just the chanting I can’t stand. I also lost a good friend this week in awful circumstances so Ghosts is hitting me really hard. I’m actually taking a bit of time to warm up to Verona. YMMFLIH is SO much fun.
Matts voice sounds the best it has to me since BH&R and I think as others have said it’s because he’s not doing forced operatics, it feels raw and real. I also love the videos and seeing them enjoying jamming together again. Tempelhof was a blast and Glasgow next year can’t come fast enough. Thank you muse ❤️
