Blossoms have really fallen off. Very repetitive album, tied with poor production has dashed any remaining hopes of Blossoms in the 2020’s
‘Foolish Loving Spaces’ sees blossoms start to carve their own path in the UK indie scene. This album helps them cut above the noise of a lot of up and coming indie acts at the moment but above all the album doesn’t really have much of an edge. Blossoms are still playing it safe but their are brief moments where they show that the could blossom into something great
Blossoms get no better and no worse with the newest single “ribbon around the bomb”. Really leaning into the 70s pop style just like they did in their most recent album, it offers more of the same, inoffensive and safe Blossoms we’ve come to love in recent years
Miles Kane has dipped into and taken elements from the music of the 60’s and 70’s, however all the nostalgic elements just seem like tropes rather than legitimately reworked elements
On paper it’s a really good record. Great production, and great lyricism along with his amazing and recognisable voice, however the album doesn’t leave me itching to listen to it again. He’s certainly matured in his song writing, however is still playing safe in the heartland rock, killers space of the genre.
This album is their most forgettable to date. Should’ve expected as much when I saw the equally forgettable album art
Some huge singles on this one, however they don’t overpower other gems on this one
Man does this album absolutely slap! I think it’s best we forget that Lil Wayne verse exists
Being late to the Biffy Clyro scene I never got to hear this album until a decade after the release of Puzzle. God I wish I were around for this.
Favourite Tracks: Living Is A Problem, Who’s Got A Match, A Whole Child Ago, The Conversation Is, Semi-Mental, Get Fucked Stud, Folding Stars, 9/15ths, Machines
Quite a safe album. Really not a fan of the almost too clean production, however musically there are some good tracks on here. North of No South is a big opener and draws my attention in, Weird Leisure with the time signature change on the chorus and the beautifully written poppy Space. Something for everyone on here.
