Yes, awesome band. I would like to hear something more guitar driven on the new album, somerthing like Tether.

Me neither. What they've released on spotify so far has been brilliant.

My favorite is "Lies", since I'm a huge synthpop fan. Anything driving like that I love. I LOVE "never ending circles" for that reason.

I'm also really excited for the new album despite Lauren's really dumb recent drama and not being huge on Leave A Trace. I liked Never Ending Circles though.

I liked their first album, but felt it was perhaps a tad uneven. The highs were amazing, but some songs were forgettable, at least to me. Still, a solid 7.5 or 8 out of 10 that didn't quite reach the highest point. I'm excited for the new album, and I hope it will be slightly more consistent. :)

Wow the new song sounds fantastic. It remembers me to still get the second album (I skipped it at release due to a lack of money at that point, even though I loved the first album).  So CHVRCHES will do the entire Mirror`s Edge soundtrack, or only this song?

Looking at this topic, I can't believe I never said this, but the second album was great. I don't really think any of the songs on it got the radio time they deserved.

I love this band soooo much. They have a real magic that flicks all my switches. Up there with Maiden, Clutch, Mastodon, Pearl Jam as absolute favourites of mine.

New album seems to be called Love Is Dead.

Has anyone else heard the new song "Never Say Die"?

One of their best songs IMO, can't get the melody out of my head!

Yes! We were singing it around the house for ages after first listen.

I'm trying not to listen to the new tracks any more until the album is out. It's tough!

I didn't really care for it honestly, and now I'm more worried this album won't be very good.

Haven't listened to it enough to make my mind about it, but it's good.

I really love "Deliverance"!

Yeah. That's been stuck in my head a lot.

My favourite thing is probably ii and Wonderland. That old out of tune stand up piano with murmuring in the background moving into the synth version and ABBA style bridge is monumental.

Great album. They’re really furthering their sound and Lauren has improved a ton as a singer.

Loving the album as well, been listening to it quite a lot.

Honestly, I rank it in the middle of their three albums. I don't like it as much as the debut, but I like it more than the second one for the most part. That said, I really love all three of their albums. Given how much it was ripped apart by critics and Popheads, I was surprised by how much I really liked the album.

Highlight song for me was probably Mercy, which is 100% an unpopular opinion since I've often seen it described as the worst song on the album lol.
