I was so looking forward to Polar Opposite, just because it was something new and different and I do love when bands do more mellow acoustic stuff. I was BLOWN AWAY by it though! It was so good, with the extra soft percussion, chimes and such and Emma's vocals. I loved it, even more than I thought I would!
I'm so glad they were able to record something like that. It's a real treat for us fans. I really think the fact that they write acoustically gives them an advantage and makes even their heavier songs sound better. It was a nice change to get to hear recordings like those in interviews on radio stations. And it's a testament to the band, that they do sound so good still, stripped down.
I also agree, that I like the Polar Opposite version of White Balloons better than the original!
