Dylan and Caitlin
The onč song I skip on the album. Feel it needed better execution and not the finished country folk it ended up as... thoughts?

I'm not a fan of this one. Intro is weird and takes a while to get going. I do like the verses though and The Anchoress delivery of her second verse. "Dylan don't leave me behind" hits me in the feels.

I think it's OK. Really beautiful orchestral "solo" or instrumental part.
The duet is more fast and furious than their other duets. You can take breaths between the lines on YLAINE and SKON. This track has it coming at you from all angles |

Weirdly have just had this in my head before I saw this thread! It's grown on me since I first heard it, but probably one of my least favourites on the album. It's a bit too cheesy and also the guitar riff sounds like Chocolate by Snow Patrol, so that's all I hear now
The intro is a bit weird, but it reminds me of the intro to Little Baby Nothing and I wondered if that was slightly intentional, with this one being a duet as well. |

Love it, apparently more than most here. Probably was my favourite of the four ‘singles/previews/focus tracks’ whatever we’re calling them nowadays, although it’s a close-run thing with IB and DC. And I might like DC better on the album. Still not sure, love the whole thing, not sick of any of it yet.

I sorta didn't like it first but now I really like it. There isn't a track on RIF that I skip, even demos sound cool. RIF is as catchy as Futurology <3

I don't dislike it but I can't really be bothered with it, like Distant Colours.

It's awful. One of the worst if not the worst since Your Love Alone

I love it. My favourite female duet. And I really hate Your Love Alone. It actually reminds me more of Motorcycle Emptiness than International Blue does.

It's currently been stuck within my brain's juke box. ♥
Not my favourite from the album, but a lovely sounding song describing kind of a tragedy. Very manicsy, when you think about it. Anyway, what I really like about the song is that somehow I feel charmed by "character songs". Makes me wanna turn them into comic books. I might someday. Also, I like it when the writers try and change perspectives, putting themselves into the shoes of their lyrical subject. That's an approach I find very interesting.

I hate it. It sounds like it belongs in a musical. This amd Vivian are the real low points of the album.

I find myself humming along when I play it, but it's not great. It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but I like 6/7 songs on the new album more than it. I assume they're going to play it live on the tour so we'll have to get used to it!

I don't usually like this kind of thing, but the production is nice and lush on this. I find myself liking it, surprisingly. The acoustic guitars and the string arrangement, Anchoress' thick plaintive vocals. "Dylan don't leave me behind" is especially well emoted.
Not as strong as Vivian but still vert nice. It's a damn ruckus too, the way the bridge rolls into the chorus in the end and the string breakdown before. A very well constructed song, they've clearly worked on it a lot. I think Vivian and this are fine, but there's a little dip with Liverpool Revisited and Sequels to Forgotten Wars which remind me of Journal For Plague Lovers a bit, especially the latter. Not a big fan of that one. Still listenable, but not the best part of the album. |
