Walking Wounded

YABA!!!
Yet Another British Album :(
More 90s british music -- but will THIS one be any different?
...
Ok, don't hate it as much upon listening to it. Kinda reminds me of the xx. Listenable (that's like saying food is edible), but not outstanding.

Almost elevator music but not as good!

My cool mates loved this album and I thought it was a load of tedious old balls.

This is more like it! Love EBTG. This is where they went electronic. The synth backdrops actually allow Tracey’s vocals to really shine through.

Great album. 4

First song comes on and I think, alright, not bad, maybe three stars. Then every song on the entire album sounds the same. So so so monotonous. Maybe I will add the word so 20 more times so you can share my pain.

I didn’t mind this one at all, it’s got a cool vibe. I like this one much more than Idlewild.

Clubby but super chilled. Great tunes. Great voice.

Cool. Definitely heralded in an interesting style which likely impacted pop for years. Mix of other influences, but really active and interesting take on the moody and breathy vocals.

I've had friends telling me for years that I need to listen to this. I never get around to it. I owe them an apology

One of the tracks is called The Heart Remains a Child but I’ve always found Everything but the Girl a bit too grown up. Tracey Thorn has a great voice but they went from making tasteful pop to tasteful dance without ever sounding that excited about it. I just want them to put a bit of oomph into it.

Bleh. This is just so boring to me. I liked the song Flipside which brings this one up a bit. Just absolute nothing music.

I thought this would be irrelevant electronic music when the first song started but it was a pretty nice listen

I hated Idlewild so much, I was shocked that this one was fine. It's not good, but I didn't feel the need to turn it off.

Album som egner seg for å gå i byer etter mørket har meldt sin ankomst

It was fine.

Apart from hearing Missing on the radio a lot when I was a kid, I only really listened to EBTG when Fuse came out. Can't believe I missed out so much, they are great! This album is pretty front-loaded, but overall it is very good, nice mix of genres and very chilled out. I love Tracy Thorn's voice as well.

The soundtrack to a chill out room in any mid 90's dance club, chilled enough to cool off but not too downtempo that you'll start thinking about winding down for the night, better go order some shitty beer (for some reason it was always Rolling Rock) or a vodka and coke, take a few puffs on a joint and then hit the main floor again, revitalised.

Tracy Thorn's voice is great, and I think suits this material better than their earlier folky stuff. I like this, though I appreciate it's a little backgroundy. Going to generously give this a low four, because I was in the right mood for it today.

Nettes Album, guter Sound aber nach dem 4. Track zu eintönig und nach dem 8. fast nervig.

I was really surprised when I saw the year that this came out. Their sound was ahead of its time imo.
