      Their first album was a triumph. One of my favourite things ever. So much so I stopped listening to it to keep it fresh.

      Second album was weak. Didn’t like it at all. I’ve tried a good few times now and it just won’t grow on me. Third (Californian soil?) is okay. That’s what I listen to if I want some London Grammar these days.

        And oof lol funny that you didn't even mention their 4th. They are clearly musically still great but the direction or genre they took with it.. going by amounts of listens on Spotify, I'm not the only one it wasn't very popular with.

        But yeah, adore the 1st album. Also quite liked some of the songs off the remix album!

          I did forget about The Gretest Love didn't I. Interesting. I think it's because when Californian Soil came out, I was glad to be able to listen to them again, and stuck with it I'll give it a listen this coming week.

          (this coming week is now)
          Soon as I put it on it hit my memory. Of /course/ I've listened to Greatest Love before. But for some reason I gravitate to Californial Soil. I really like Greatest Love. Nothing comes close to If You Wait of course, but for me, three out of four ain't bad.

          I've listened to nothing else for 2 days now. Just Greatest Love on loop. I tend to get obsessive like that.
