One and the same!! What a treat I didn’t think I’d get to hear that for years AKA album 2 wow - I LOVE it! What an album Yes mate - it's an instant classic first album wise. From meeting Tom last weekend and seeing how humble yet pumped and down to earth all at the same time...it's criminal this isn't being slammed hard on media promotion...he even got emotional singing Would you mond and goodbye kiss...heartfelt...no crocodile tears...What an album... just corking I’ve been trying to get some friends to listen to the album (they didn’t know who he was) and as soon as they look him up they are blasted with all the stuff that happened and immediately go into the defensive, why would I want to listen to a guy who hits women etc - so that’s what you’re dealing with. That’s why we aren’t hearing it much over social media. It’s a shame because it’s fucking amazing and should be heard

Good songs all of them 3, weakest is SATC and its mainly for it's lenght. One and the Same is fantastic. Unreal how he went for Scared instead of this one. And Standing Tall needs a few more listens but I didn't dislike it. What a day! 16 New Tracks from Tom and some live performances. Haven't heart the acoustic but holy shit he made my week What would you rate Scared out of 10? And One and the Same out of 10?

Maybe it's soon for a rating, but I would go Scared 6/10 and O&TS 8/10 Yes mate - it's an instant classic first album wise.

That’s why we aren’t hearing it much over social media. It’s a shame because it’s fucking amazing and should be heard Yes, it's truly stupid. As if every single top musician didn't do same or even worst things. John Lennon for example. Yet he is one of the best songwriters of the planet. I hope someday the world can learn to separate music from musicians. The albums good. The singer did something miserable. Two different facts that don't have to collide with one another. Twitter has brain damaged too many people.

I've listened to the album once through, but it's too early to give any opinion on it yet

Ok Tom Heads, how we feeling about the new LP? I like Rise (reminds me of early Kasabian), Scared, Thinking On Our Feet and The Reckoning. Wish Tom had more songs like the finale. Good sounds.

Pretty pretty good, I was hyped and still got surprised. And that's usually difficult! Also, we have a sick amount of tracks on release day, more than 20 if we count live performances and remixes (which we shouldn't)

It's impact is insane- empire got me as stoked previously I love Kasabian but if this was a Kasabian album, I’d saying it’s the best album they’ve come out with. The thing about debut albums is that they NEED to be great. Take Liam Gallagher’s debut, As You Were, one of my favourite albums ever, if it wasn’t good Liam wouldn’t have the career he has now. Tom would have known this, it needed to be great.

This has such a distinct sound that I feel I will come back to for sometime. As a debut album and all the new maretial attributed to it...I almost overwhelmed with what I fancy listening to next from the huge volume of songs!! Hoping on his circuit of live festival dates he cracks on with his own stuff...thry deserve a real loud debuting. Christ my work has suffered today ha ha

Top 1 rock albums on iTunes. And no radio nor media push. That's how good the record is

I finally watched his explanation of each track...very interesting..the album is mainly an ode to love. My missus isn't bored of the album yet . So that's a good sign as I've played it to the point of ear bleeding

The Reckoning 3. Rise I can’t believe they left off ‘One and the Same’ and worst, made it a download from the offical store so most people won’t even hear it, seriously whose idea was that? Stupid, it could have been a single

Or the same ones behind the idea of releasing his debut single on YouTube but no streaming platforms until half a year later. Strange marketing he's got

Anyways, the album still good now that the hype has gone. Top 3 I would go with: 1. The Reckoning 2. Thinking On Our Feet 3. One And The Same
Unbelievable he left this last one out with all the teasers he did last year.

Strange marketing he's got Yeah his marketing team needs to get the sack, they’re shit. They. released so many songs randomly since October 2021 with no direction and the last minute change with the album release date etc it’s beyond odd. Anyway, I would have also changed the album as well, I actually prefer alot of the bonus songs over the album songs: 1. Rise 2. Deep Dive 3. Let It Ride 4. Shout It Out 5. Don’t Give In 6. Scared 7. One And The Same 8. Out Of This World 9. Standing Tall 10. Everyone’s Addicted To Something 11. Movin’ On 12. The Reckoning

When he first announced the album it was a different picture of himself (honestly this change made sense, the previous picture wasn't too nice, he looked like he just smelled a fart)

Thank god because I wasn’t a fan of the first one at all. I like the album art, I can tell he’s taken a lot of inspiration from LG based on the font etc as well

Good sign..Now need my next fix of Tom at a festival that we can view on the big old TV!!! One side note...i have noticed the severe amount of weight Tom has lost in last 2 years since the headlines from his YouTube videos. Stress probably. The again the music is still ferocious so who cares I guess
