Courteeners have just released their brand new album 'More. Again. Forever.' and everyone is loving it!
The Middleton-formed band consisting of Liam Fray, Daniel Conan Moors and Michael Campbell just released their sixth album and the good reviews just keep coming in! It contains ten brand new tracks, including the previously released singles 'Heavy Jacket', 'More. Again. Forever.', 'Better Man' and 'Hanging Off Your Cloud'.
'Heart Attack' starts off the album, immediately setting a high standard with its unique opening and catchy chorus. The repeating of "heavy jacket" soon begins with the next track and hit single 'Heavy Jacket' which with its constant drum beat from start to finish, it would be hard not to let this incredible song get stuck in your head.
Title track 'More. Again. Forever.' soon begins, opening with background noises before quickly jumping into a beat while Fray talks over it. This continues throughout the song - apart from each chorus when he comes to sing the title, in which he does very well. All in all, this may be the one of my favorite songs on the album.
This is followed by previously released singles 'Better Man' and 'Hanging Off Your Cloud' which are both great songs; the melody during the chorus of 'Better Man' along with the tune at the beginning of 'Hanging Off Your Cloud' are both stunning.
The slowed down songs soon come to an end with two fast-pace songs next - 'Previous Parties' and 'The Joy Of Missing Out', both memorable with their unique tunes and catchy choruses. 'One Day At A Time' comes next, 'Take It On The Chin' following soon after. The album comes to an end with 'Is Heaven Even Worth It?' which has been described by some as one of the best songs Fray has ever written - and i couldn't agree more.
In my opinion, I think every song on this album is incredible and so well written. Yes, it is quite different to the likes of St. Jude but it really is great. Each time Courteeners release an album, they just get better and better!
