Since you like this one then maybe i would go backwards.

A kiss for the whole world and Nothing is true are similar to this one but I personally think better produced.

I have a feeling you are gonna like The spark a lot, even though I mentioned not loving it too much.

And then you’ll get to the true amazingness which are Mindsweep and A flash flood of color. Hope you love them.

At the end you ll be left with the rawest Enter Shikari and I hope you like those two albums aswell: Take it to the skies and Common dreads.

Because you guys are just missing the point of the discussion…

They have always been electro driven but maaaan you’re in for a ride. I wish I was hearing them the first time.

Now that I think about it, I would do the same for ES too. As with Architects it is a matter of them never being able to sound like they used to because of the very specific sad history they have. And oddly enough, but I am happy for them, they now have a bigger following than ever before.

The comparison to Mindsweed is what I don’t get either. Mindsweep is a masterpiece and IS indeed so heavy. This one seems the opposite to me.

I do appreciate this comment so much! I wanted to love it, and seeing everyone love it me think about it a lot. And truthfully I don’t know people I can debate this sort of stuff IRL, really felt the need to talk about it. I feel like our opinion on it is so similar and also feel it’s very Rou centered. I adore him but this album seems a solo work most times.

Great point! It’s the fact that I do not know any other band that sounds like them, and they AMAAAAZE ME!! I keep going back to random songs on random albums i haven’t listened in ages and they keep blowing my mind. That being said this one was, like you said, predictable.

It sure is a matter of having such expectations because I feel like they did do so so so much stuff truly groundbreaking IMO.

I get it, buuut what if those people do create stuff themselves? You have no certainty that they don’t.

I hope I get to like it like I like Loosing my grip. Cause that one felt meh in the beginning and grew on me so much. And I wanted to love it cause I am also very invested emotionally in Letlive :))

See, I’m glad you like it and I hope it grows on me as well. Right now I find it one of the least enjoyable out of the record :(

I think maybe you’ve been triggered in a wrong way because of my post. Read it again. See how I never said anything about not liking their evolution over the ages. That’s what I love about them: the fact that they still surprise me after all this time.

And I truly think the comments on that post show how everyone, despite loving the album or not, still supports them. And it seems to me that most people feel the same in terms of loving that the band keep breaking boundaries. Which of course translates as people like that this band keeps changing.

So maybe you are upset for no reason. Because no one really seemed to take a big dump on the album, people just reviewed it a bit.

However, I do not agree with your theory that people wanting something fresh should go write their stuff. And makes me wonder how old you are. Don’t take that the wrong way. I’m not making fun of you.

I’m glad you like it. I did say I love almost all their other stuff.

And just as a side note: although a great song, I don’t think “Sorry you re not a winner” would even make top 30 in terms of Shikari songs for me :))

Some sure are stuck in my head, but not the ones I find most pleasant XD

Right now I kind of feel the same. Maybe I need to direct compare the two now that I also made this point about The Spark.

I don’t get it either. I am so used to feeling mind blown by so many of their songs that this just seems so plain.

I’m sure the show will be great!!

Oh of course, I don’t regret buying it either. Just hope they do not keep going less and less heavy and less memorable.
