"Angels" remained the strongest track on the album

 

Also what I thought after my first listen...

Just listened their first album again, immediately after listening Coexist and the first album is WAYYYYYY better....

Not sure yet if I like it as much as the debut or not. But one thing for sure is that I really like it. Nothing else on it tops "Angels", but I might even like "Angels" better than any song on the debut. (on the flip side, "Try" is probably the first xx song I actually dislike) "Reunion" and "Swept Away" are also great.

Just started listening to it!

:bomb: I'm so curious and tempted... even more after reading your comments... but I'll wait until my pre-order starts downloading... :bomb:

So after a few listens, I like it. Not as much as xx but it's still lovely. I'm still loving their sound so I'm really enjoying the second album. :D

 

Disappointed there's not instrumental in Coexist though.

did i see you

see me

in the moonlight? (or "in a new light" :uhoh:)

never no never again.

 

1:59 :bomb:

I didn't purge myself into 'xx' but I do enjoy it, and with this album - I think I am going to love it a lot more. Reunion sticks out for me on Coexist and it will do well

I hear it as new light...?

Ok, I need to give in for one song... :embarrassed:

Is this one on the album?

And what is it called?

edit: just seen its name is "Tides"... sorry!

Thanks in advance!! :kiss:

Yup, it's on the album! :)

Is it strange I'm still in love with the first album? Up until now, only some (alternative) rock albums have succeeded in claiming my attention all the way from when they were released till the present. It's magical.

You're not the only one. Even after listening to Coexist, I still go back to listening to xx and find new joy in it.

Has everybody seen this already and I'm the last one to discover??

Can't wait for my pre-order to start downloading...

This is so good. :dead:

Nope, I was just about to come here to post that. Haha.

 

Am I the only one who feels that Coexist is missing something? Everything I listen to it, I feel a little unsatisfied - I want more but can't get it. Then I go and listen to XX to get what I can't get it. Lol.

 

Something is missing from Coexist and I hate it. :(

It's missing a kickass instrumental piece like "Intro". That's all I can think of, though. I've finally concluded that it's a damn good album that's just a notch below the debut.

I think xx is one of the most definitive records of our country in recent times.

That and another Heart Skipped a Beat. :(

Am I the only one waiting for the release date?

No? I'm getting the album so I'm waiting too.

 

Did you not want to listen to the stream they put up?

Actually, I didn't even know there was a stream. I thought all of you listened to the leak.

I might listen to the stream later. :)

Haha yeah, they put up a stream a couple of days ago on their FB page. :)

Awesome, thanks for informating me :)

Listening to it now. I'm on Tides now and it's my current favourite. :wacky:

Swept Away ;_____;

 

It's a good album, but I agree that something is missing. I still prefer xx, but Coexist may grow on me.
