Not enough listenings to this new cd for a definitive opinion about it, but
Happy to be here: beautiful, and yes, wonderful reminder of NBTS. Devil's bargain: great. Sunrise: kind of simple and positive, and at the same time strangely haunting.
I agree with all of this!
"According to you": i like it...a "simple song" but i like the lyrics, the sound and the catchy chorus.
"Angry planet": maybe i haven't listened to it enough but i don't share the consensus about this song... a quite cool pace and agressive mood but too "generic" for me...
"Gueesing": quite good even , danceable!
"Happy to be here": feelings of my favourite Justin work "navigating by the stars" so of course i like it!
"Devil's bargain": probably my fav on the album...quite haunting...i like the bridge and when Justin says after the bridge "There's a dusty photograph i always recall..." moody!
"Sunrise": first time i thought about it: "Meh"...and now i quite like it! a bit of "love of hopeless causes" feelings and "Wipeout" too, i can see myself driving through the open roads, listening to this song, a smile on my face, when the summer is still here!
Overall i like this mini album. It's good to see that NMA and Justin can still deliver good, fine, passionnate music after all these years...thank you guys, keep up the good work!
