Nov 25, 2019Its very hit or miss for me some of the tracks are pretty high um my top 2018 list and some are just boring and predictable overall still a solid album

Mar 11, 2019Love is Dead is not as memorable as Chrvches debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, but it is still a good album from start to finish. Many albums these days are designed to sell singles, but Love is Dead is listenable throughout the album. Furthermore I found this album to be extremely easy to re-listen to. Its nothing revolutionary, but it is a solid album all around.

Jul 24, 2018I'll just say, REPLAY VALUE IS TREMENDOUS. Songs like Never Say Die, Graves, Deliverance, Wonderland, Miracle, Graffiti (yes that many) are 11/10 with the rest not that far behind

Jun 29, 2018"Saga das Músicas on": Eu diria que a banda tentou criar um disco de “pop consciente”, fugindo um pouco dos padrões do estilo, que tem a fama de funcionar com canções fúteis. Há toda a parte instrumental, que agrada os ouvidos de qualquer pessoa, mas ainda possui grandes letras por trás. Funciona muito bem na prática.

Jun 27, 2018While I have enjoyed some of Chvrches songs in the past and I do appreciate the fact that they are working with some outside producers to make them go mainstream. While the album have a few decent songs, unfortunately "Love is Dead" just like the previous projects, is full with basic, boring synthpop production and uninspired writing.

Jun 20, 2018This band literally gave me diabetes. On paper it all shouldn't work, cheesy synths, baby girl harmonies, eighties throwback whiplash...music has evolved from this, surely...but, no, its incredibly listenable in a guilty pleasure kinda way. That all said, this new material doesnt match their first two albums' sheer ballsyness. This one plays it safe.

Jun 10, 2018This is what happens when a successful band decides it wants to make more money by dumbing down their sound for the masses. Chvrches was one of my favorite groups, but then they sold out and made this disaster. It's not compete crap, but it's pretty bad, especially when comparing it to their amazing previous albums.
Chvrches is dead. -

May 31, 2018Was very disappointed with this project after hearing hearing a good few singles it seemed like a very generic album with a lot of filler tracks.

May 29, 2018Love Is Dead continues to ask questions of the world, but realises they’re not always black and white, or in CHVRCHES case, light or dark.

May 26, 2018Predictable and safe. Every little sound fits together too neatly. Sounds like it was made in a lab with the sole intent of selling products and sounding good in big arenas.
-
May 26, 2018Ok so this album is a departure from their latest album, but it's really good. To me some of the highlights would be Miracle, Heaven/Hell and Deliverance. Tbh the only thing that i don't like about the album is the cover lol

May 26, 2018I had never heard anything of CHVRCHES. I took the risk on this album and kinda liked it.
-
May 26, 2018It's good when a band change the route of their sound, Chvrches now a little more pop and colorful makes and album solid and full of sticky and shiny songs.
-
May 25, 2018Really bland predictable lyrics and not one song that really sticks with you. Stick with Beach House, Wye Oak, Courtney Barnett etc if you want something decent. Really disappointed but can't say I'm surprised.

Jul 25, 2018Love is Dead is formally earnest and it succumbs as a product of its (unearnest) production, an art of sincerity lost underneath. Love is Dead, damnably, is sincerity in place of irony, which is to say sincerity outside irony. It has no world to tease of tense.
-
Jun 11, 2018Heavily weighty with fiery doom and gloom, Lauren Mayberry masters the art of colourfully abstract lyrics.

May 31, 2018Chvrches have made their most fully-realized effort to date (musically, anyway).
