    Who You Are.

    Nice song which starts a bit slow and boring but it builds nicely.

    Gains momentum at 1:14 and seems to gain more again at 1:49 after the distorted part which really helps to keep the track interesting.

    The title track reprise is interesting but I wonder if it would have been better used on the final track.

    3.75/5

    Today’s song is “The Devil”



    This one really isn’t for me, but it’s competent and well played/sung. 3/5

    The Devil 4/5

    I like this one. It keeps a good flow going with various peaks and highs of the album. Like the haunting keyboard and Roland's voice and sound effects.

    The Devil
    While not really my style of song, I welcome its inclusion on the album.
    It's something different to shake things up a bit .
    Even some goose bumps when Roland goes into the bridge, lifting the song up somewhat.
    3,5/4

    The Devil

    A nice piano led song which builds slowly leading to full band coming in with bangs and crashes and distorted drums and a cracking Floyd-like guitar part.

    I don't like the strange, slowed down ending, and I also think the song suffers a little from it's placement on the album. I think it might've been better to follow Secret World; who knows?

    I thought it'd be lower but it's a good, strong track.....4/5

    There is a mistake in there somewhere.
    But since it's closer to a 4 than a 3 I change that into a 4/5

    Today’s song is “Secret World”



    There’s a lot of emotion in this song. You can tell they put a lot of work into this song, because it’s one of the best tracks on the album. Love the brass and the piano too. Roland sounds great! 5/5

    Secret World

    4.75/5

    .25 off for the jazzy outro which I don't really like.

    Secret World
    Great song where everything comes together perfectly.
    Nice orchestration, instrumentation and a fantastic guitar solo.
    And a nice reference this time to "Let em In" by Wings. 5/5

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today’s song is “Killing With Kindness”



    Love the Mellotron on this one. Great rocking chorus too. I’m feeling another 5/5, it’s awesome!

    5/5

    Definitely a another hit out of the ball park. Starts out Pink Floyd-ish.

    How was this album not a huge hit for them. Timing? Promotion??

    Maybe people’s feelings about TFF had cooled by that point because it took so long for them to reunite. That being said it’s about time for the new album!

    Killing With Kindness

    Not one of my favourites on the album but I wouldn't skip it; wouldn't skip any track actually.

    Starts off Pink Floyd-ish as mentioned above. The music is great, I like the verses and the middle 8 but the chorus goes a bit Foo Fighters (now that I've said that you won't be able to unhear it). It's got some nice Beatles-like guitar licks too.

    3.5/5

    Killing With Kindness
    Another strong track.
    Would be going to far mentioning all the stuff it reminds me off, lots of influences here.
    But again it works, it's strong it's Tears for Fears 4,5/5.

    Just wish it was placed earlier on the album.
