Often, when someone says an album is a grower, it’s taken as a negative; basically just like saying “I didn’t really like it when I first heard it”. Not so in the case of White Lies’ second album, Ritual.
I had loved the band’s first album; To Lose My Life… and played it inside out for a good few months after first obtaining it, back in 2009. I had also instantly loved the lead single from this album, Bigger Than Us, with its ET inspired video and anthemic chorus. So I was expecting to fall for this album too. And I did, after a few listens!
The opening song, Is Love,...White Lies – Ritual
