the prospects were poor ...

Very good debut album in 2011, charts, awards, great concert halls - all this leads often to the fact that the sound of the follow-up album continues the way to mainstream paves expressed negative: diluted.

Ben Howard but it is with his 2nd album managed to achieve exactly the opposite, namely quality of the 1st to the last minute. The songs are so complex that they had heard more in this album than in most other artists I thought after track 4. The bandwidth has also increased again in my opinion compared to the debut album, but is not aimless and chaotic and confused to leave.

Here, then, a musical except succeeded. Thanks for that.
