Such an amazing album! They’ve really matured and evolved their sound and I am HERE FOR IT

[@g.b3903]

incredibly good record showing everyone who calls their music boring and samey that they can expand their sound

I will never not love Royal Blood. Waves is by far my favorite song on the album. It completely stole my heart!

[@tombourne4273]

Great album - hearing Mountains at Midnight at Electric Ballroom last week changed the song for me. Didn’t like it as much when I first heard the single but it’s a huge track. My only wish is that the album was a bit longer

i love how chilled out this interview is

the most important thing you can do with each record is be different while still retaining your DNA and staying true to your origins.

Every negative review I've seen for this album was just flat out stupid, from calling them pop to saying they'd just discovered what a piano is. Royal Blood is unique : Compact Lyrics, Pitch Shifted Bass roaring powerful riffs combined with Ben's genre hopped drumming. Hard to get bored of that.

It's probably their best one. 👌

Best band in existence of mankind

[@TheRotigres]

[@dzosefdzik]

The album is big❤❤❤

[@samh9861]

Absolutely brilliant album. Been listening to it every day since release.

[@brain_drops]

Hearing "Lights Out" in a need for speed game got my attention on these guys. Now I've got Back to the Water Below on vinyl, these guys RULE

[@samanthawhittle8300]

Absolutely awesome as always. Totally love the new album. Can't wait to hear it live ❤

[@kittriggofficialyoutube]

Wicked interview

[@K5BrayBray]

Anybody else peep Ben Thatcher just like mentally sign out?🤣🤣🤣

[@Bradford659]

They need to keep the identity of the band while tweaking things occasionally to keep things interesting so they don’t just become KOL.
