Cleopatra

Amazing album! ... The Lumineers just get better with each song.Not had this out of my stereo since it arrived.Each song a hit in my opinion, beautifully written-poetic lyrics that hit deep (at first I thought it may have just been the wine - candles lit -headphones in - curtains drawn etc) but still has that effect on me no matter what time of day I listen :)I couldn't single out a particular song to call my favourite, as each individual song as it's own merit.This album easily puts current 'chart music' to shame, I personally don't believe they get enough credit. But then I think that is one of the appeals, they don't just knock out a song in hope of it entering the top 10. They write lyrics & create music to feed their soul & not because they need 'a hit.'Highly recommend. Stunning album.

Brilliant album worth every penny. Well written songs fantastically sung. Music being a very personal thing my review is obviously subjective as I am unable to get the same opinion of someone who doesn't like music.Assuming you haven't heard of the band they are an American group who are able to reach out musically to all ages. We saw them in Manchester after buying the first album, which when I bought it had only heard one song, they were absolutely awesome live, the second album Cleopatra is a masterpiece. If you take a leap of faith in buying this album, you have invested heavily in your musical pleasure, I am certainly very pleased with my Cleopatra album.

One of the best albums I’ve purchased in a long time, I’m definitely impressed. This album flows beautifully and I love following the ‘story’. There are one or two tracks that weren’t instantly likeable but eventually grow on you and I look forward to getting this on vinyl at some point.Didn’t much care for the overplayed ‘Ho Hey’ off their previous album but this is a gem of an album that makes me consider going back and giving the rest of their albums a second glance.

Saw the Lumineers at Hyde Park at the last UK Tom Petty concert before he sadly died. They were original, quickly but with great tunes and lyrics. The audience loved them as they were soon singing along with the catchy melodies. Had already got their first album to get to know some of the songs before the concert but as soon as I got home ordered cleopatra as well. Some modern music with some life and origality. Definitely a 'grower' as a lot of the best music is.

Every track is a discernible, hummable tune ... lots of ho's and hey's ... which is sort of their trademark ... accoustic brilliance with thumping drums creates a really happy vibe ... even though some of the lyrics may be downbeat the overall feel is upbeat ... a bit contradictory ... but that's the brilliance of the writing ... which gives a second layer to this album ... once you've fallen for the tunes you then fall for the lyrics ... best album of 2016 ... just back from watching them at Latitide Festival on a sunny Sunday afternoon ... class.

I've been listening to this all evening with my jaw on the floor and my heart in the sky. It's wonderful! I've always liked The Lumineers, but confess I slid their CDs a little lower down the to-play stack than Paulo Nutini, Tom McRae, Mumford and Sons et al who I thought pitched a mood better. No more. This is sublime songwriting and utterly straight-in-the-vein listening. Just brilliant.

I really like this album but it is on the depressing side/ not very up lifting.

Cannot believe how average this album is compared to their brilliant first. The exuberance just isn't there. The first five songs aren't bad but from track 6 to 10 the feeling I got was I was listening to the same song over a over again. The instumental at the end is too short and only serves as a filler. If this album had been their first I fear there would not have been a second. Here's hoping for a better third effort in the future because I really like this group.
