    An eclectic mix of 80's, 90's and 00's indie rock. It shouldn't sound fresh but somehow it does. This is a band that knows how to make catchy tunes. Must have given this 100+ listens already (I have it on loop on Spotify) I am already looking forward to a second.

    Great album, filled with catchy and infectious indie tunes. Well done Blossoms for getting to number one for two weeks and lets hope for an equally as good follow up

    Blossoms made the common conscience decision to abandon anything that would keep them from Radio 1. So this means you aren't going to find anything in this record that any sane person would deem as important. It's a middle of the road pop record with regurgitated melodies and maudlin choruses about "not being alone, tonight" blah blah .

It's a middle of the road pop record with regurgitated melodies and maudlin choruses about "not being alone, tonight" blah blah . The frustration felt by some is because if you are going to polish yourself up as a NME boy band you can't pretend you are 'indie' or that you put out something special. The sooner Blossoms realise they can't have both the sooner they will start sleeping more soundly. Expect these guys to sell a bunch of records in the next few years and then be confronted with the reality that no one takes them seriously.… Expand

    A fantastic album. A mix of upbeat 80's style songs along with some deeply moving and emotionally haunting tracks. Some big sing along anthems and brilliant vocals. My favorite album so far this year. There's not one weak track.

    Awesome album with so many hits! Congrats to the guys for getting this album to #1 in the British charts, silencing the haters. Well deserved :) They are the new big thing in indie!

    Blossoms have produced an album of perfectly structured songs accompanied by strong lyrics that tell many tales to the large cult they seem to have already acquired.

    There’s plenty to applaud on a promising debut, but, as yet, not enough to believe in.

    Overall, Blossoms is a strong debut that distills the best of the quintet's diverse influences into a catchy amalgam that opts to shoot for the mainstream rather than stick to the same old sound.
