Compared to their self-titled debut album. When Royal Blood stormed in at number one it was.
This Brighton 2-piece managed to find a way to infiltrate the mainstream with their balls-out rock and roll, huge riffs and crashing drums a dynamic that is criminally alien within the charts today.
Nonetheless, the sameness is very enjoyable.Įither way, if you managed to get tickets at the Metro in the few minutes they were on sale, I’m jealous.īest Tracks: ‘Hook, Line and Sinker’ ‘She’s Creeping’’ ‘Where Are You Now?’ Royal Blood have released the first single taken from their album 'How Did We Get So Dark', due out on June 16th. The success of Royal Blood’s self-titled debut album was astounding and every bit deserved. Consequently, by the end of the album I was kind of zoning out because it is all very same-y. It also felt a little stale: it is very similar to what we’ve already heard. Every track on that album felt like a single – How Did We Get So Dark? just isn’t as impressive. This year’s release was always going to be a strong album, but it doesn’t stand up to their 2014 album. Royal Blood have managed to create their own sound that gives us nothing to compare them to, save their earlier work. Do yourself a favour and just listen to it. This was in the form of ‘Hook, Line and Sinker’, which is a stand out track. When Royal Blood played Reading and Leeds in 2015, they gave us a hint of the upcoming album. ‘Where Are You Now’ is punchy and gets to the point: they are well aware not every song needs a musical bridge. They give us time to relish the irresistibly powerful riffs Kerr delivers in tracks like ‘Lights Out’ without overdoing it. What I’ve always loved about the duo is that they have made hard rock accessible and incredibly catchy. This energy drives the whole album and ensures you won’t get bored. Yet there’s burning anger and ferocity in both his vocals and the musical content. The choruses are big, with sing-along backing vocals we missed out on in the first album. It is clear that How Did We Get So Dark? is a step up from their earlier work production-wise, having a cleaner sound and letting the honesty music speak for itself. The duo have moved on from solely relying on raw bass and drums and fulfill this unique sound – they’ve managed to flesh it out and add a greater depth to their songs.
The album begins with the title track, immediately announcing an appropriate development from Royal Blood’s self-titled first album. Together they weave an original modern version of classic hard rock, something that older generations yearn for and newer ones need to hear.Review: How Did We Get So Dark – Royal Blood There we offer music reviews, music news, music.

Part John Bonham, part Neil Peart, the highlight came when the brawny rhythm player busted out his biggest drumstick of all, and slammed a giant gong strategically placed behind his throne. Encouraging applause and cheer at every turn, the crescendo came when in the middle of “Little Monster” drummer Ben Thatcher kicked into a wicked drum solo. The band fed off of that initial enthusiasm the entire night. So turn the lights out You’re not so hard to forget With all the lights out.
