So far, the songs “Soft Spine,” “Perfect Soul” and “No Loss, No Love” have given us pieces to the musical puzzle, but now fans can enjoy the record in its full entirety as it was meant to be heard. So what are people saying about Tsunami Sea?
What Fellow Rocker Oli Sykes Had to Say
One of the first accolades the band received for their Tsunami Sea album came from a fellow musician. Bring Me the Horizon‘s Oli Sykes used his Instagram Stories to offer a comment on the new record earlier this week.
