There's delay on beats which would sound better without. HAIM share lead vocals, but neither one of them is stronger - It's all rather simple and passive. The guitars are well produced and the overall feel of the album is: "fun" but essentially HAIM lose out with in their inability to create original recordings. They're drawn out, featuring basic instrumentals with no real kick or twist. Days Are Gone has tracks that belong in the 80s, and should be kept there 'Forever' is one of them, 'Honey and I' is another. HAIM's biggest threat isn’t approval, companies have covered that for them (Roc Nation,) it's whether or not their music will age well. This has been done before, and has been done better. HAIM have their influences and lyrics tied up neatly, it's just the overall feel of the music that begs serious questions of legitimacy. It reflects their lacklustre debut album Days Are Gone. The trio of sisters looked lost on stage, with no bass, no strings, and no emotion. 3/5 HAIM performed to the awkward face of David Cameron on the Andrew Marr Show.
