Four Letter Word 7,5/10

Millionaire 7/10 - doesn't really go anywhere, but flows nicely and Liam sounding sweet and relaxed with the acoustics in the background

The Roller 8,5/10 - loving everything except Liams voice in the 'aw aw' bits in the chorus

Beatles and Stones 7,5/10 - actually liked this one, it's got a BTL-kinda-piano in it, i like the 'Well it beats me, mama' bit, like Liam's voice in it

Wind Up Dream 6/10 - skip track for me, nothing that interesting melody-wise, some ok lyrics though (i like what i see, with my eyes closed..)

Bring the Light 7/10

For Anyone 8/10 - short, but nice and lovely. Don't expect a complicated, long song after the 30 sec's preview, but still nice.

Kill for a Dream 8/10 - great, sad intro with just an acoustic guitar and and organ, liked the verses and because the chorus was so introvert, the nickelback-vibe some people felt (including me) in the preview dissapears when hearing the whole song. Guitar riff after the chorus reminderd me off the DBTT riffs in KTDA and The Cage.

Standing on the Edge of the Noise 5/10 - very average verses (i was expecting kick ass in our face melody, but it was a bit bland), annoying sound and voice effect

Wigwam 9/10 - as said: could grow on me to become even more than a 9 (or less). A long track with 3 different parts, of which we've heard a piece the first part. Very weird middle part, think 'Day in the life' 2nd part kinda weird (but shorter). Then silence, a slow drum pattern repeating, song looks like its dying. Then speeding up and Liam singing 2 lines (which we've heard in Bring The Light) over and over again, with a psychedelic build-up and feel to it, instruments kickin in, etc.

Three Ring Circus 8/10 - cool guitars riffs and solo parts, great singing (loved the 'under my thumb' part in de preview already), a Beatlesque chorus with Liam singing 'threeeee' very high.

Beat Goes On 9,5/10 - could have been a 10 if it wasn't for the somewhat cheesy chorus lyrics. But man what a classic this was for me. The song just breethed out brilliance in every aspect. Great na-na-na's in it (or la-la-la, can't remember).

The Morning Son 7,5/10 - didn;t like the preview, but 2nd part of the song the drums kick in and it all ends up in a great 'goodbye' kinda way with all kinds of sounds and effects. Indeed a bit like Soldier On, but with more to it.

So, there you have it. Can't fucking wait to hear it again. There's lots of stuff i need to re-hear, lots to discover, lots of different pieces and bits. I loved it. Someone PM me as soon as the thing leaks

thanks for the review!!!

Thanks man,BUT,if you are giving bring the light 7/10,then we have a problem.....i mean how could possibly SOTEON and WUD be worse???

Thanks kingjohn.

I'm really eager to hear TBGO because of how you talk about it.

Glad to hear what you said about Kill for a Dream as well! I like the preview but i was getting a bit worried with all the Nickleback comparisons.

well, baby come on!

baby come on!!!

Kingjohn, I heard you did covers for DBTT before it came out. Is there any chance you could do the same for DGSS? Sorry if I'm asking too much!

Cheers

I'm guessing it's going to be another DBTT with a rawer production, and weaker lyrics but more melodies. I like it!

It's very comforting that Beatles And Stones is a nice track. I was worried because it would have seriously undermined the flow of the album if it was another AGN. A bit disappointing that SOTEOTN has bland verses though. I really liked the powerful chorus.

Thank you for the review kingjohn.

perhaps its because its more acoustic and summery like For Anyone seems kinda like LLAB and the rockers seem a little more vintage and fuzzy sounding like Beatles and Stones is kinda like MF.

Seems like both King John and Dutchie say that there's two stone cold classics on the album - Wigwam and Beat Goes On. This bodes very well considering these two lads' past history...

No comment!

And a cover or two
