Years & Years - Night Call

[spiritboy]

New album out on January 7th.

[Tansike]

I don't know if I think the cover is awesome or absolutely terrible

[westhammer]

That cover is a mess. Also not here for this being announced 3+ months in advance

[Thombus]

Nope.

[IVyoncé]

The cover is a choice, the wait feels so long, but I am curious for the content

[cheapthrills]

When I hear the words Night Call, I don't think of mermen.

[IVyoncé]

After hearing Starstruck and Crave, looking at their consistent single cover art, I am slightly confused what this cover has to do with it all. Nothing indicates mermaid, nothing gives vibes of fairytales, nothing gives up the vibes that he is a siren (in reference to the album name of 'night call'). I kinda expected like a colorful cover with him in leather pants or something

[IVyoncé]

That Spotify one should have been the main cover
I pre-ordered the Amazon Signed CD for now

[Erotica]

The cover is a bit strange.

[RayRay]

I love the cover.

Some snippets:

[Thombus]

How he went from "Communion" to this is beyond me.

[ludichris]

I'm looking forward to hearing this in full and think it will be a great start to a hopefully wonderful year. I don't think we have even heard the best songs from the album yet but so far I say:

1 Sweet Talker
2 Starstruck
3 Crave

[westhammer]

I loved the first 2 albums but none of the songs on this so far are good

[MDNHAY]

When the other band members left did they take something special with them?

their last album was amazing

[Tansike]

Delayed to 21st January...

[cheapthrills]

I'll be there to listen to it, but I do have to agree that Years & Years becoming a solo project has somehow diminished the music I've heard so far.

[Ruthymon]

Here's the second cassette cover (much much better) --- **anyone who buys it, please upload the cover**


Let's hope the album is fair enough, otherwise....

[ludichris]

Yes that's an improvement on the original cover for sure! I personally would have preferred this is as the cover but with a darker nighttime background.....

[basticasas]

The roll out of this album is a mess, instead of getting Kylie on the remix of Starstruck she shoulda been the feature on the original, releasing Crave as the second singles was a mistake, Sweet Talker is doing ok on the Official Singles Chart, just like Starstruck did. I love Mark Ralph as a producer but the topic choices for the songs are ?????????????????????????? what's going on Olly?

[westhammer]

The album flows well on first listen.

It’s so tacky and cheap that they’ve put all their biggest singles from previous albums onto the end of the tracklist on Spotify!

[MDNHAY]

EDIT: This is very solid. Very sweet and fun.

[Tansike]

Yes, first spin done and this turned out better than expected. Currently #1 and #2 on UK iTunes!

[ludichris]

AOTY! I didn't have to skip a single track. There is some outstanding production on Make It Out Alive and See You Again. Night Call was probably my favourite out of the unheard but there were several gems, Immaculate being one of them.

One thing though is I've read the track by track commentary and I disagree with Olly saying Consequences screams album opener, I think Sweet Talker with those strings would have been better.
