Brilliant stuff...what a surprise yesterday to get an email from itunes. stating the EP is now available. Expected to have to wait until Monday.
First listen: Hmm, OK but, I'd wish they would have developped Chameleon and Bullets in a bit different, more anthem-ish (I hope you know what I mean), direction. But now, after appr. 10 times: WOW. A really great collection with the right balance between beautiful melodies and rougher, darker elements.

Loving "Bullets". Best of the four for me. "If you cut me open, bullets fill my heart. Your name's on every one" Brilliant. Classic Embrace

Can't believe Decades is just a b-side. Its a really strong track.

Was so happy to receive the signed vinyl this morning in the post, its the first brand new vinyl I have even unwrapped and touched and smelled in 5 years ! Brilliant.
I cant play it of course, as I have'nt owned a record player since biblical times, but its nice to look at.

I really like Bullets but I wish it had one more chorus in it. Two's not enough  |

I'm a bit of a Luddite in the fact that I prefer to have physical CDs rather than downloads, so I haven't got a lot of music downloaded. However, I was very keen to buy the Refugees EP and no longer have anything on which to play vinyl so I bought the iTunes download. After having no internet for over a week due to the weather and then not sure how to download it on my old PC, I finally managed it today and it was definitely worth the struggle! I think it's brilliant. I particularly love the music on Decades. Can't wait to see them perform all these songs live. Hope I don't upset anyone here if I say Decades has a touch of U2 to me (no complaint from me there!).  |
