    I was thinking that too but the more I play this the better it gets. 

    it's possibly the best flow they've had to an album. 

    And defo the best end. 

    I'm not sure they'll ever top AG as it was my favourite album of the last 10 years but this and STWAE are close.

    You’re right about the closing track....I just checked my NFO Spotify playlist and I’ve left off two tracks from Amber and Sometimes....both the last tracks. However the closer on the debut Internal Affairs “Green Hills of Glumslov” is melodic bliss.

    Aeromantic does have the best flow. But all three are superb....I also adore the debut. 
    If I had to introduce someone to the band I might play Amber Galactic first.

    There are some brilliant parts but also there are some parts I don't like and I'm not used to that by NFO. 

    1. Servants: Sounds like their last album opener but I can't remember any melodies, chorus totally destroys it for me.

    2. Divinyls: I don't like the synths being so close to the vocal melody, otherwise it's fine.

    3. If tonight is our only chance: Great intro and verses but I can't stand the chorus. There's no flow... I don't like the drums imitating the "if tonight is our only chance" sentence.

    4. This boy's last summer: Great song, only the main riff is almost the same as in "paralyzed" on their last album.

    5. Curves: My favourite yet, a little like Domino but not a copy, good chorus.

    6. Transmissions: This song has magic, even though I don't like the high frequency synths in the chorus.

    7. Aeromantic: Starts great but the chorus is too modern for the rest of the song and it breaks the flow somehow.

    8. Golden Swansdown: Could be a perfect song for me but the chord sequence when the second half of the chorus starts ("covered") feels wrong.

    9. Taurus: The songs that are written by Forslund are usually my favourites. I like it too but I can't understand why the end this song that early.

    10. Carmencita Seven: Again it's the chorus that destroys it for me. I just don't get pleased by that. I don't feel like driving on a highway in the night and sing along, it's too progressive for me.

    11. Sister Mercurial: Trademark NFO drum beat, maybe a little too much, it doesn't work in the calm verses. Chorus is cool, overall one of my favourites.

    12. Dead of Winter: Written by Forslund, I am bought. I like this track. It's the first NFO album closer I like.

    8/12 songs are good, 4/12 are really not my cup of tea. So I think the album is good but not as great as the last two albums.

    I’ve never read such a positive review that is all criticism. That type of review takes the fun out of listening to music.

    Other than Skyline Whispers which is easily the band’s weakest release....I keep saying these guys get better and better. Aeromantic is the best flowing release....each songs blends perfectly into the next one....it’s almost a shame to listen to the tracks in shuffle mode. Song after song I smiled and shook my head in delight in the early hours after the album was released. 
     

    H.E.A.T II was my album of the year for a week 😂

    One thing that would have improved the album is the running order of some tracks. “Rise” which is a top favourite for many should have been the opener and “Rock Your Body” which is unanimously accepted as the weakest track should have been buried in the middle somewhere.

    My track by track score

    Rock My Body - 8.5 reminds me of early Kenny era H.E.A.T....cheesy but solid

    Dangerous Ground - 9 dangerous to drive to

    Come Clean - 10 simply perfect!

    Victory - 9 very Eclipse like

    We Are Gods - 9 this one live must just slay..more Eclipse sounding

    Adrenaline - 9 great track, cheesy chorus but still love it

    One by One - 10 awesome track

    Nothing To Say - 8  picks up by the end but kinda slows the momentum of the album...sure isn’t anywhere near as good as Follow Me from the debut. 

    Heaven Must Have Won An Angel - 10 this awesome track needs to be a single...killer! AOR fans will love this one. 

    Under The Gun - 8.5 solid....again very Eclipse like

    Rise - 10 anthem perfection...still reminds me of Eclipse....no kidding Andrew scored this one 100% over MR.com....I find it to be very similar to Eclipse on many tracks.

    Hands down Erik is THE best vocalist on the scene right now. 
     

    Three tracks are great....the early part of the We Are Gods chorus is sketchy but the second half is epic. Sure the lyrics are cheese ...Adrenaline...Medicine or Rock Your Body but the music is near perfection.

    It’s not even mid February and the race for album of the year is essentially over. All 4 tracks are amazing. Erik is my favourite vocalist in today’s music. 
     

    my top 5 vocalists right now, not all time are

    Erik

    Björn Strid from NFO / Soilwork

    Todd Kearns from Toque

    Paul Laine (who’s been on my top 5 for like 25 years)

    Marco Saaresto from Poets Of The Fall

    Why are you being such a dick? 
     

    Common sense is, you don’t like something you don’t come back time and time again to criticize it over and over. 
     

    I think Dokken - Back For The Attack is one of the most boring and overrated releases ever but you don’t see me continuously going to a thread about it and slamming it non stop.
