Camping by a gothic castle on a hill, overlooking the neon glow of the big city. Much better than letting the proverbial twat with the guitar play wonderwall.
First generic 20 track stream fodder trap album of the year down.
Few decent bops on here but aside from those this is just one long sound. TBH, this is one of those types of albums I usually rate well in the red for being about 70 minutes long. So props and points for keeping the runtime down.

This is one of the first of those 'Propa British' albums I ever listened to and from then onward this album has had a pretty big role in my life.
Strangely, There's a few songs on here that I don't LOVE. An ... read more

I'll tend to rate an album after first impression then from there let that rating evolve as I listen to the album more. I wont review an album until I'm happy that my rating is pretty much settled in its final destination, however long that may take lol!
