Music is a very personal and subjective thing which is why I take most reviews with a pinch of salt but I felt I should redress the balance with this album as it doesn't appear to have got the recognition it deserves. Yeah Ghost isn't like Simple Things and it shouldn't be. Artists become boring and predictable if they don't develop but when they do, many fans deplore them.
This album has real depth and introspection, and marks a very exciting new direction into the next decade. Even so, it is still Zero 7 at its core, you just have to look a bit deeper. I was quite disappointed with Air's new album, Love 2, as I really enjoyed Pocket Symphony (more so than Zero 7's The Garden) and I think they have gone backwards by trying to remake Moon Safari.
If you're wanting more of Simple Things or When It Falls then go and listen to them again. If you want to enjoy even more great music sit down and listen to this with an open mind. Those who do will be rewarded.
