Bastille's full LP Bad Blood finally gives fans all their music

I've been a fan of Bastille for two years now.  They released one track at a time over a span of two years.   Finally, the new full album Bad Blood has gone and collected those songs plus a few new tracks. I'm a bit jaded when talking about this album because most of it is not new to my ears. But for any new listener, this is one great pop album.  Dan Smith might be one of the best pop producers I've heard in a long time.  These tracks are infectious and deserve to be heard by the masses.

"Things We Lost In The Fire" sounds like a cover of Florence And the Machine song.  It has that layered anthem sound with bombastic energy.  This song really booms and grabs your ears.  Again, this is not a new track but the first time in one place for fans of Bastille. Plus, for all those unfamiliar with them, this is your chance to jump on board.  I think the new mix on Bad Blood sounds bigger and louder than this YouTube version.


"Icarus" was a track that I didn't own but only listened to through YouTube. I'm pretty excited to finally have a good clean version of the song to listen to.  Another flawless pop song from Bastille. This one gives you a little lesson in mythology.
