    There's a monochrome coolness to everything and a slick, minimal production. There's a newfound calmness and thoughtfulness noticed in the band's songwriting. [14 Jan 2017, p.50]

    A little bit cocky at times, sure, but with the tightness to back it up, Night People feels like the band’s most natural and accomplished step so far.

    Crammed with skyscraping melodies and moments of spine-tingling poignancy, it stands them in the best possible stead for packing out stadiums and headlining festivals in the near future. They’ve fulfilled their side of the bargain with these 10 songs.

    What more can be said?
    The release of the title track showed us that You Me at Six were going in a different direction and maturing in a way that other rock bands will learn from. Their pop-like sounds in Night People create a modern ambiance and shows that they're not just your "generic rock band".

Some pretty underwhelming and almost bad songs in here, but some others which are powerful, striking, and groovy. Night people, take on the world, and spell it out are all awesome songs. Others like make your move and give are good. The rest are Meh or bad to me. Definitely a worthwhile album though with some really good pieces.… Full Review »
