    And... it's really good. Endearing sweetness. IDK, I kinda wish they tried to reinvent themselves though, they've been doing the same thing for a long, long time. It's not a bad thing necessarily but I'd like to see how they would evolve.

    Fifth in line to the throne is the best song of the album, and probably the best they ever made :v

    My review for Desire Lines: 8/10, www.sports-report.net/CameraObscuraDesireLinesReview I think it's a lovely record. It's not a huge difference from their previous work, but I just love the upbeat nature of the music contrasted with the melancholic and sometimes downright sad lyrics of Campbell. I love it upon first listen and certainly haven't gotten bored with it!
