Bastille’s New Album Wild World Reviewed & Ranked

Track 7: “Two Evils”, 2:46

To be honest, it was hard for me to put “Two Evils” as my SECOND favorite song from the album. This one is BAD ASS.

It’s blues. It’s soulful. It’s simple but interesting and beautiful. Dan is able to pull off some amazing notes in his falsetto voice, and the guitar reverberates in my bones.

"“I’m the lesser of two evils Or am I, am I tricking myself nice? If I’m a lesser of two evils Who’s this man, who’s this act I hide behind? There are two ways to skin tonight Let’s see whose road gets there faster This is a game, no wrongs, no right Only a winner and a loser You and I, oh you and I We’re not that different, you and I Oh you and I, you and I We’re not that different, you and I”"

It’s one of the shortest tracks on the album, which sort of makes me sad, because it wraps me up in a musical blanket and I just want to sleep in Dan’s voice and the guitar forever. But I can put it on repeat and be content for a couple of hours, at least.
