It will be there until Monday id say,they usually take them down when the album gets its official(U.S) release,which is Tuesday,i dont think its as good as "Teen Dream"(which i love)but its still good stuff,well worth a listen

That 'Lazuli' song is fantastic. Looking forward to listening to the stream later.

Yay. Can't wait to give this a proper listen. Teen Dream was a real leap forward in quality from Devotion, which is a great album in itself, so I'm expecting wonderful things from this!

A bit astonished at the amazing reviews of this album both here and from all corners of the media.

Really enjoyed the first three albums and the leap that the songwriting took on Teen Dream but sonically Bloom is "Teen Dream 2" with weaker songs.

Only 'Myth', 'Wild', 'Lazuli' (Brilliant song I must say!) and 'On the Sea' could stand alongside the songs written for Teen Dream or Devotion in my opinion. As an album, quite a dull experience.

Still a great band, and victoria is a great performer - just think that time won't be kind to this album and it will be seen as a bit of middle of the road stagnation.

Completely disagree about it being a dull experience, like Heisenberg I've been listening non-stop since its release and it only gets better with each listen.

It's not necessarily better than Teen Dream but I'd argue that there are differences - Bloom has more of a sombre and even grown up feel about it.

A track no-one's yet mentioned is 'The Hours' which I think is phenomenally good.

Hoping they come over here again soon.

I'd be a fan of this band but it's kind of clear now they don't really have a plan B so to speak.

All of their songs creep along at almost identical tempos. Getting all a bit samey.

It's an alright album but the likes of Pitchfork giving it a 9.1 is a bit absurd. Kind of expected that they **** over these albums though.

The songs on it just aren't as strong as the last record or some on other records. The likes of Norway, Gila, Heart of Chambers, Zebra, 10 mile Stereo etc.

Word around the campfire is that they'll be in Ireland at the end of October,dont hold me to it though

Have to say i was begining to think i was the only person on earth a bit underwhelmed with the new album,it has some great stuff.....but i dont think its anywhere near "Teen Dream"(a 10/10 record for me,i absolutely loved it)a few tracks are fantastic but it has far too many average tracks for me,im really enjoying it overall but id only give it 7/10 at this point having lived with it for a few weeks

And for what its worth i thought the first 2 albums were fairly boring tbh,"Teen Dream" is amazing though so ill be first in line of they do pay us a visit

In agreement too - first 3 tracks great ... rest good - but I don't think the album as a whole is deserving of some of the reviews it's getting.

It's Vicar Street - bank holiday October sunday
