Might as well start a topic just for the much-anticipated Credo. It's now available to pre-order on iTunes.
...which means you can preview each of the tracks.
"Night People" and "Never Let Me Go" arrived to mixed reviews – both initially disappointing, but both seem to be growers.
So I like the idea of being able to preview the tracks prior to buying. First impressions from the brief snippets, "Sky" sounds superb; classic HL. "Electric Shock" is another one which sounds instantly catchy. "Breaking the Chain" sounds like something from Secrets, which is no bad thing by my book.
Parts of it sound like a kid's Yamaha keyboard demo... "Single Minded" and "Get Together" don't sound particularly impressive, but then again this is just going by 30 second previews.
So from a sneak peak, it sounds like a decent album, though maybe not a brilliant album. After 10 years there's a lot of expectation, and part of me doubts that it'll live up to it. I thought Secrets was an excellent album, and it's a great shame that the collapse of Papillon Records took the League with it. They really suffered for that.
In the very least it's good to finally have some new material. Certainly looking forward to hearing Credo in full and forming a proper opinion.
