But for a truly great album I want new, fresh sounds, something different an..." Reply

"This was my album of the year for a very long time. Just excellent. Blood is the track that continues to sit with me months after listening to the album as it makes me think of me and my own siblings." Reply

"What a great surprise! I didn’t have big expectations, since I wasn’t that into their first two albums. But this one, I fell in love with.
