Hurts - Exile

ChateauMarmont · 13/03/13 - 19:34

Anyone listened yet?

Not as good as Happiness, but Exile is certainly on repeat now! Favourite song so far is Guilt, only listened a couple of times so I'm sure my favourites will keep changing.

I keep imagining Devotion will come on next when I'm listening!

I'm guessing the OP is a Lana fan?!:p

ChateauMarmont · 13/03/13 - 21:56

Or I could just love the hotel

I do love Lana you're correct!

Great album! think it could be up there with album no1 after a couple more listens.

Somebody to Die For is my favourite at the moment.

Just listened to it and in a random way it reminds me of Stay, which automatically means I love it!

Guilt is one of the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition, isn't it?

I haven't bought it yet, as I wasn't sure which one to get (not fussed about having the DVD). Plus I have just got Mr Bowie's, so been listening to that.

ChateauMarmont · 14/03/13 - 00:12

I think it is, I bought the Deluxe edition on iTunes straight to my phone. I have to say I'm very impressed with it still!

I love it! Mercy, Sandman and Somebody To Die For are probably my favourites at the moment! Only one I'm not to keen on is Guilt and I like the beginning of Help but then it goes a bit boring otherwise I love it, prefer it to Happiness! Just hope it moves up in the charts as its at #6 currently.

ChateauMarmont · 14/03/13 - 02:21

Blind, Sandman, Guilt and Somebody To Die For are my new favourites.

I overplayed The Road when it was first released on iTunes, if I hadn't I know that would be on my list now. This album other than STDF has no song that gets me like Stay and Silver Lining does yet. All I can imagine is the songs being featured on episodes of The Vampire Diaries like Happiness was!

Mybelle · 14/03/13 - 02:26

I got the album on Monday and love it so far. My favourites so far are Miracle, Exile, Sandman and Blind, but I've listened more to the beginning 5 or so songs because my bloomin 8 year old keeps going back to Miracle and Sandman because they are her two favourites. She reckons Sandman is cool!:p

Sandman's my phone ring-tone.

BTW, I hadn't heard Blind is being released quite so quickly. It's Radio 2's record of the week.

Anyone got any idea why they think Miracle was never playlisted?

Steve35 · 14/03/13 - 02:42

Sounds like Muse ffs.

Darren_Hawkins · 14/03/13 - 02:44

Stunning album. Echo what everyone else has said. Coolest band around

That'll be why then.:D

I thought it had more of Coldplay & Rihanna - Princess of China sound.

I thought one of the songs was that, can't remember which one now though

Starts a bit similar, but the rest is completely different.

Another song has a little bit of this old 80s tune in the middle (neither can I remember which one just now!)

Fiction Factory - Feels Like Heaven

I love the album! Not as much as Happiness at the moment but it's still brilliant.

Help is a stunningly beautiful song. Amazing.

Sandman, Miracle, Only You & STDF are other highlights.

AdzPower · 17/04/13 - 16:49

Just got the album and its very good, enjoying it a lot.

ChateauMarmont · 17/04/13 - 19:44

Does anyone know who the girl is in the video for 'Blind'?

I'm in love with that song at the moment!

eugenespeed · 17/04/13 - 21:18

Got this on now, first listen. Here goes.

eugenespeed · 17/04/13 - 22:16

Hmm. Started off good then just seemed to fizzle out.

LaVieEnRose · 17/04/13 - 23:33

One listen isn't enough, it's a grower.

Mybelle · 18/04/13 - 01:50

I think the first half is slightly stronger. I've found skipping The Crow completely makes the album a much better listen. I do love Help immensely - it improves with each listen, in my opinion.

It's an album I've had virtually on a constant loop playing in my car and haven't tired of it yet, but it is a grower.

Mybelle · 19/04/13 - 19:07

Hurts are on Graham Norton tonight.

glyn9799 · 19/04/13 - 22:39

Help is my favourite song of the year so far. It's just stunning. I'd love it to be a single. Great album too. I'm not enjoying it quite as much as Happiness, but it's certainly getting there.

gelbma0991 · 19/04/13 - 23:02

I love this album, I actually prefer it to Happiness - Cupid is such a good track, I just wish it was a bit longer!:D

Harper_Milne · 20/04/13 - 02:18

I think they're a bit hit and miss for me. The ones I like from the album are:

Exile
Miracle
Only you
Blind
Somebody to die for
Mercy

Hey there!
