Name one album folk should listen to at least once before they die.

@Vivaci What in particular about this album ?

@Picklebobble2 It’s the kind of storytelling lyrics that appeal to me. It was Bastilles debut album. 💕😍


I think this scoop from scotsscoop.com sums it up perfectly.

Lead singer and songwriter of the band, Dan Smith, carries the album with his melodic voice and lyrical style. Their music can be characterized by their use of strong percussive beats, keyboarding, stringed instruments and choral chants, similar to bands like Coldplay and Florence and the Machine.
The album kicks off with their lead single, “Pompeii,” arguably the highlight of the album, which has an infectious melody and drum beat. “Pompeii” includes many historical allusions to Greek mythology, similar to their songs “Icarus” and “Daniel In the Den,” appropriate for their band name.
With every song, comes a different story. On creating the album, Smith said, “I wanted each [song] to be its own story with its own atmosphere which brings in different sounds and elements of production, incorporating aspects of the different genres and styles that I love.”
Bastille definitely accomplishes the storytelling aspect of their music with songs like “Things We Lost in the Fire,” a booming track which is about a house that has burned down, which serves as a metaphor for the decaying relationship of a couple.
Contrasting the overall upbeat theme of “Bad Blood” are more sentimental songs like “Overjoyed” and “Get Home,” showing off the band’s softer side with Smith’s soothing head voice and piano chords.

@Vivaci Fair enough ! I didn't know of them until you posted, so i listened to the album and thought it maybe a bit 'dark' ?
Maybe that's the wrong word......Don't know.
I'll have another listen later.

Hmmm...maybe. It’s just pages from our history, so there’s a bit of realism in it. @Picklebobble2

@Vivaci Yeah, i get it. 😉

I knew you would! 💙🤗@Picklebobble2
