useful information
Because of the songs " Plain Sailing Weather " and " Good & Gone ", the album received a so-called Parental Advisory imprint. In contrast to the previous albums, the album was not recorded in England, but near Los Angeles . The song Four Simple Words pays homage to Queen . The album is the first in his career that has made it into the charts in German-speaking countries.
reception
For laut.de , Tape Deck Heart is “the perfect soundtrack to bring light back into the dark.” Even if the album is a classic break-up album, “sobbing standards are largely in the background. Neither the organ-laden mid-tempo rocker "Polaroid Pictures" nor the epically increasing "The Fisher King Blues" pave a long-term foundation for rising melancholy. Instead, with every chord there is a spirit of optimism: Everything will somehow be good. Maybe not today, but sometime at the latest. ” Cdstarts.de also rates the album consistently positively:“ There are no slips, no embarrassments, the lyrics are above average, the music is overwhelmingly thrilling. If the speed goes up, there is often an interesting contrast between the sensitive, intelligent lyrics and the relaxed musical implementation. “ Recovery is the perfect Frank Turner song.
