First of all, I'm not a Belle and Sebastian fan. I'm pretty indifferent.
No love or hate either way, I just haven't devoted any time to them. I think I've been pretty wrong in doing so to, as Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance is an experimental record and I love seeing how bands grow and evolve. BUT they don't experiment all that much on this record. I went back and listened to the old ones and they only try a few new things here. Some disco influenced tunes, but that's it. There are songs here that sound like...typical Belle and Sebastian songs. So yeah, you can say I was disappointed a bit. Even the experimental songs aren't very different-sounding. The lyrics are still typical Belle and Sebastian, deep at the first listen and hold a deeper and deeper meaning every time you listen to them. Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance scores 7.3/10 Last edited by Slushburgh; 02-04-2015 at 02:09 PM. |

Been... cautiously optimistic about this album. I have yet to listen to it, but I'm a huge B&S fan, and I am well aware that the quality of their albums is not what it used to be.
However, with some of their recent albums, Write About Love in particular, I didn't get into them until after many repeat listens. So maybe we need to give it a chance?

I. Hate it. What happened to the effortless dreamy pop sound they crafted? Don't give me the bullshit "they're older now" excuse. That may be the case, but that didn't stop Bob Dylan, or Okkervil River, or Spoon from staying true to their sound. It's a cash grab disguised in an indie pop band you still want to love.
