Live at Bush Hall 2023

A nice bridge between Ants From Up There and Forever Howlong; essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how BC,NR's sound changed so much. There are some bangers ("Laughing Song", "Dancers"), some well-made songs that I don't often revisit ("The Boy", "I Won't Always Love You"), and really only one song that I don't like ("Trousers"). On the whole, though, most songs are really fun and well-written. I feel like despite being a live album, some of these songs would have turned out better if they were recorded. (Interestingly, I think some of Forever Howlong's tracks seem like they were meant more for a live setting; though, as you can tell by my FH review, I think the recordings are also stellar). Just an interesting observation. High 7/10
