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

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. 

[Glen]

ha ha yeah. over analysing a tad. 

I agree on Taurus tho. I always expect another chorus and it just ends 

[Ponen]

I agree with some of the criticisms. Nowhere close to Amber Galactic, their best.

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.

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.

Yeah, porobably. "Domino," "Josephine," and "Space Whisperer" is just an awesome back-to-back-to-back.

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.

Wha...

But, "The Last of the Independent Romantics" is one of their best tracks. 

Period.

ha ha my last track is American High which is even better

And the only weak song on Amber Galactic is the last track. They don't need to include cover songs - stylistically it sticks out. They should have just put the Jap bonus on the regular release which is a great song or left in as a 10 track album.

First time ever that Strid has over sung imo. It's a great track but is marred as you can barely understand him in places.

Brilliant,thanx

 

I've never really done this band before either.
Maybe some songs I've heard were to synthy and/or poppy? That's usually the reason.

The song above reminds me of a Flashdance type thing - the dancing girls in it probably help that thought.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, I didn't mind the song at all.
I'll probably get to them some time with an open mind and see how it goes.

Edit: Just listened to some more samples, and this may be stating the obvious, but a pretty huge 80's vibe to them all.
I get a Gerorgio Morodo feel, sometimes Xanadu, sometimes DiAnno (the band that released on poppyish album)
I think when I give them a go they will at least be easy listening.
probably the kind of thing I can put on at work for a pretty large cross section of customers

I agree with the too synthy/poppy. It borders on disco.

don't be ridiculous.  prob about 10% of their songs fall into this category. 

listen to songs like Midnight Flyer - that they will blow your balls off. Pure rock awesomeness. 

[Mafisen]

This is pretty bad.

I can't agree with that. The emotion in his voice gives me goosebumps, and I have no problem following along.

No, you are very happy where your balls are. You don't know if maybe your balls would be happier apart from you. 

[Tabe]

I listened to this a couple times over the weekend.  It's a good album but I'm certainly not blown away.  It felt very same-y to me.  I also ended up downloading "Satellite" off of Youtube and adding it as a "bonus track" to the album since it's so good.

[Jez]

Love it..although I still think 'STWAE' is better over all...

 

And Karpet is quite correct in his conclusion that 'The Last Of The Independent Romantics' is their finest song so far.

I thought I was losing my mind. Somebody had to agree with me. Of course it was you.

I have a great relationship with my balls.
We are like kindred spirits.
I am always well aware of how they are feeling.
