We'll get a new one probably next year.
"Surrender" memories: Loved the "hey Boy Hey Girl" single; was lukewarm on "Let Forever Be", as it seemed a watered down "Setting Sun". I really wanted another big beat blaster at the time, so i wasn't super keen on the record at first. But it's a grower and definitely the point in which they stopped being relatively lo-fi sample-based and started being polished producers.
Now, "Come With Us", that was a great one! THe last two have been pretty mixed for me, too many guests and hip-hop tracks.
