Not the dreaded crash landing

Actually, I did not want to listen in to the new James Blunt CD. While the first album was a small pop ballads sensation and the following two albums were not bad, but of his whiny vocals I actually had enough. And only ballad is in the long run also boring.
When I first words from the opening track 'Face The Sun heard seemed my doubts about a positive change to be confirmed. Again this self-pity! But during the song, something happened, which I had not expected. Firstly, I was surprised with a Coldplay-type guitar part (in the manner of 'Fix You'), and the second I had to admit to myself that I am the song that is downright bombastic the end, really touched.
So I was also the second song ('Satellites') a chance and was rewarded with a great feel-good song. Aha, he can now so well. Nice. More please. And indeed, the third song ('Bonfire Heart') become a little pop anthem with stimmgewaltigem choir.
The fourth song 'Heart to Heart' sounds very cheerful and has an almost irresistible melody including Mitwipp warranty. Is supported by a discreet James Blunt played electric guitar.
'Miss America' begins quietly with piano. It was not until the second verse come to Drums. Overall a rather typical James Blunt song with very melodic chorus.
'The only one' is for Blunt ratios quite powerful and melodic usual.
Then he takes for a good 3 minutes, a break and sings a ballad ('Sun on Sunday'), where he is accompanied only by a piano. I think he deserves this break.
Presently it is rhythmically again. 'Bones' is very trendy and enjoys enormous melody.
'Always hate me' is distinguished by its cool percussion and by a bombastic chorus, in the James Blunts voice rarely reached heights copes skilfully.
'Postcards' begins like a typical James Blunt Song (Piano Part), but already after 30 seconds you suddenly feel as if you can hear a Caribbean-tinged song of Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson. Cool number.
The final bildet- how it can be different - a ballad. But with 'Blue on Blue' is not it a 08-15 ballad, even if it initially appears. But to emphasize the guidance by the acoustic guitar, the polyphonic singing in the chorus and the 'cracking' Final that James Blunt has made here very much different and better than on his last albums. I would even go so far as to assert that 'Moon Landing' his first work surpasses scarce.
