It was uneven and overambitious but propelled them into success and was followed by several remix albums afterward. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wild World, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the quartet\u2019s second album, changes things up a bit. The three year break has given lead vocalist and songwriter, Dan Smith, ample time to cultivate his influences to craft a different album. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result? A sophomore effort that not only exceeds the debut but manages to be a deeply personal and euphonic rock LP. Bastille has crafted a sound that is unique, but has taken some inspiration from other groups and artists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The harmonies from The Beatles\u2019 \u201cEleanor Rigby,\u201d the smooth R&amp;B vocals and guitar from Frank Ocean\u2019s \u201cBad Religion\u201d and even the ominous keys from Kanye West\u2019s \u201cSay You Will\u201d are all evident in their influence on the album. But Bastille doesn\u2019t simply take from these groups, the same way a band like Creed copies Pearl Jam. Instead, they use it as a means to craft a more unique sound. A key component missing from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad Blood.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of being another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coldplay.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Coldplay<\/span><\/a>, The Killers or U2-like band, they develop their own individual sound and tell a sprawling story, something that hasn\u2019t been seen since Kendrick Lamar\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good kid, m.A.A.d city.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s not saying <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad Blood<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does not tell a story, but it\u2019s a messy one. It plays more like a student-made horror\/action film that tried to reach David Lynch-like heights, but only managed to distance listeners and make them skip to more radio friendly singles like \u201cPompeii\u201d and \u201cFlaws.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wild World<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feels more like a coming-of-age story, one that can be compared to the works of Sofia Coppola or Spike Jonze. It takes cues from Lamar\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good kid, m.A.A.d city<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by slipping recorded samples into the tracks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike K-Dot, Smith uses sampled clips from classic films like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weird Science <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to tell his tale. It\u2019s an interesting way to make an album more personal, considering the arena-ready ambition. Instead of simply dishing out catchy hooks and synthesized music (no worries, they\u2019re still in the album), Smith crafts verses of heartbreak, loss and the fears that come with growing up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lyrics are helped with excellent production by Smith and Mark Crew, with each song having a distinct yet coherent sound. It\u2019s the kind of album to get up and dance to but still allows people to listen to it and take it apart song by song. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a way, Bastille is bringing back album music, elevating the pop genre from its bubblegum restraints and mass produced ways. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether heard on the dance floor, a Top 40 station or through the speakers of a record player, Bastille\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wild Word<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another great addition to 2016\u2019s strong album releases.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bastille\u2019s 2013 debut album, Bad Blood, showed the world what the British indie pop band could do with a Coldplay-like sound and lyrics laced with historical, pop cultural and literary references.
