On this review I will be reviewing the new Chvrches album "Love Is Dead" which was released on the 25th May 2018. It's the third studio album by Chvrches called "Love Is Dead".
Chvrches are a Scottish synth-pop band formed back in 2011. Which consists of a trio. "Iain Cook" who is the synthesizer and guitar player. "Martin Doherty" synthesizer player and backing vocalist. And "Lauren Mayberry" the lead vocals, drums, percussion. I first discovered 'Chvrches' back in 2013 from BBC Radio 1 where they played one of the tracks from their debut album "The Bones Of What You Believe". The track that they played was called "The Mother We Share". When I heard that track I was amazed with Lauren's vocals it was really good. The production was amazing it was truly a new sound of synth pop. When I Had FIFA 14 at the time one of their tracks from their debut album was on FIFA 14. The track was called "We Sink". Which I thought was a decent track it wasn't that bad. I much preferred "The Mother We Share". Chvrches was signed to an independent label "Glassnote Records". They released their EP "Recover EP" through with that label. After that they were signed to 'Virgin Records' where they released their three studio albums. Discussing about their discography they have released three studio albums. Their debut album "The Bones Of What You Believe" which is an amazing debut album. I really liked their debut album it was the album that me discover more about the band. Brilliant tracks such as "The Mother We Share", "We Sink", "Under The Tide", "Night Sky", "Tether" and many more. Their second album "Every Open Eye" which most 'Chvrches' fans would say that their second album is their best one. I agree it's another great album. The first two album are really good. 2 brilliant albums. Great tracks such as "Leave A Trace", "Make Them Gold", "Clearest Blue", "Empty Threat" and many more. Which now brings us to their new album 3 years later they release their new album "Love Is Dead". After hearing "Love Is Dead" what did I think of it? Well I thought it was an okay album I dont love it that much like the first two but it's alright. I much prefer the first two. It's alright.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Get Up" it was the track I heard on the radio as their new single before the album was released. I thought it was an alright track interesting sounds on this track. Interesting synthesizers as well. "Forever" a decent track Lauren's vocals were alright. "Graves" which is my personal favourite my number 1 favourite. I love this track it's really an indie pop, indie rock anthem. Lauren's vocals were amazing. "God's Plan" which we hear Martin on vocals which was an interesting sounds it's a decent track. "Really Gone" a smooth down tempo track with Lauren's vocals. Probably the underrated track on the album. "Wonderland" amazing track an amazing end to the album great track. My least favourite track was "My Enemy" which is alright it's not the best but it's alright and a bit average.
Overall I can say that this new 'Chvrches' album is alright. It's okay. I do not love it like the first two albums but it's alright. I am giving this album a 6/10.
