Highly Suspect vs Royal Blood

[janinho]

Two of the Rock Boards favorite Active Bands.

Both incredible, but Highly Suspect feels like more of a fresh sound to me. I also enjoy both of their albums start to finish whereas Royal Blood has a few tracks here and there that are skippable. On top of that, I've seen Highly Suspect live and they were absolutely incredible.

Out of the Black vs. Lydia
Figure it Out vs. Bloodfeather
Lights Out vs. My Name Is Human (MNIH has better lyrics, but Lights Out pumps me up more)
I Only Lie When I Love You vs. Little One
Royal Blood vs. Mister Asylum
How Did We Get So Dark vs. The Boy Who Died Wolf

A bit tough based on these results actually, but I feel Royal Blood have better album tracks than Highly Suspect, so I voted for them.

Royal Blood's first album was a revelation, an album that felt like a changing of the guard. Out of the four albums both bands have released, it's still, by far, my favorite...but Highly Suspect's two albums may both be better than How Did We Get So Dark.

I have to give the edge to Royal Blood, because their debut album is one of my five or so favorite albums from this decade...but it's closer than I expected it would be.

this is a tough call, I think I have to go with Highly Suspect since they have a more diverse sound. Both of their debut albums are better than their follow-ups and if it was just on the merits of their debut I'd probably pick Royal Blood (their self titled has no bad tracks), but I think their second album was more underwhelming than Highly Suspects.

Very very close call though.

Royal Blood easily.

I liked "Lydia" okay but overall not a Highly Suspect fan.
