    Great reaction! I love the shoegazey, atmospheric vibe this album has. Feeling Myself is my favorite, it really encapsulates that whole hazy, dreamy feeling throughout Blue Weekend. Their sound has matured really well and I think this is the best sounding Wolf Alice album so far.

    I am new to Wolf Alice because of the rave reviews this album is receiving in the press, it doesn’t disappoint. The sound and vocals are totally on point, I’m looking forward to checking out the rest of their stuff!

    11:41 hahaha I was like that too and then I start jumping with it! It came from the soft How to make it okay? to this powerful track ! As someone that completely loves punk rock, I love those parts on their albums and loved this since the first time! 12:11 I totally love this sound, I think it's the synthesize, it's a nostalgic sound!

    This album is amazing, definetly the best of the year, and I'll dare say one of the best of the past 10 years at least. I've been following them since 2015 maybe?! and they quickly became one of my favs for sure. Maybe too soon to say, but "delicious things" is probably my favorite song ever from Wolf Alice. Is at least top 3.

    I just love this band. They are just the real deal and deserve way more praise. The breadth and range on this album is just fantastic and it really shows how they have matured as a band. From straight pop, shoegaze, punk, ballads. It is my album of the year hands down. I love how Ellie has really matured as a singer, using her voice as an instrument sounding like Stevie Nicks and Kate Bush in places, especially in How can I make it o.k

    I kinda bounced off this album when it first came out, I liked it but didn't really get the hype. I think I just wasn't really in a mindset to vibe with it (outside of Smile and Play the Greatest Hits) at the time. I gave it another shot since I'm gonna see them next week and yeah no I finally get it. Delicious Things, Safe From Heartbreak and The Beach II have been living rent free in my head the past few days and the entire construction of the album is so captivating. I still think She and Blush are my favorite tracks by them (primarily because of how amazing a story they make together when you consider the videos) and I think I MAYBE like Visions more overall, but goddamn this album captures a very specific jumble of feelings perfectly.

    Your review was very good. I've seen a number of them. "Play the Greatest Hit's" keeps coming up as the outlier. IMHO, I don't think it quite fits on the album and kind of breaks up the flow. I do think however, that it's a great song and is a real crowd pleaser . People went nuts when I saw them play in November. Made me glad I decided not to move into the pit (plus I'm in my 60's and don't want to get beat up that much!). The rest of the album his kept growing on me and I like it quite a bit more than Visions of a life.

    it's a good album for sure. i've been listening to it every chance i get. i rank it above their last album, but below their debut (slightly). the second album, while good, i got tired of it rather quickly.
    the songs on blue weekend are beautifully written and composed. you can tell they took their time writing it. the only thing i wish it had were more heavy rocking songs like smile and greatest hits. those are the types of tracks i love most about them, and why i still rank their debut ahead of this one. it's just.. a bit too mellow for me.
    my favs:
    #1 lipstick
    #2 how can i make it ok (love the video for this one)
    #3 feeling myself

    Your enthusiasm is infectious, I’ll take a look at your channel. This album, while it has its moments, is my least liked album by them. Nothing really makes me want to obsessively hit replay, unlike some of their previous work. I think the production here is at fault. Everything’s worked to death. I wish they’d have released something as clever as Dance In Room Song by Sipper.

I find it interesting that you’re not so much of a fan of this one. Completely your decision and there’s never a wrong answer to what you’re into. I agree that the production is focussed on a lot more on this album, but for me, it makes it sound so crisp and put together. However, I can see what you mean if you prefer the older, less polished tracks (which also hold a special place in my heart). Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts! ☺️
