User Album Review
This is by no means a perfect album: at 52 minutes, 10 minutes longer than its predecessor, it could do with cutting one or two songs (the two songs produced by Greg Kurstin, ‘Everyone Else’ and ‘Leave The War’ are the weakest); there are also occasional pacing issues, as Reid rarely manages to up the tempo beyond one syllable per beat. Yet on the whole, London Grammar have matured to give an album of creative and intelligent composition, with swelling melodies and vocals that give a genuine emotional payoff. There are moments of heart-stopping beauty throughout, as well as a newfound optimism that propels the songs to swelling heights.
