What is the name of Bastille's first studio album?

The story behind the answer

Bastille’s first studio album is “Bad Blood.” The album was the debut full-length release by the English band, whose core lineup was led by vocalist and songwriter Dan Smith.

“Bad Blood” was released in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2013, after Bastille had issued the “Laura Palmer” EP, singles, and the mixtapes in the “Other People’s Heartache” series. The album combines indie pop, synth-pop, alternative dance, and rock influences, helping establish the band’s dramatic, highly layered sound.

Its track list includes “Pompeii,” the group’s international breakthrough, as well as “Flaws,” “Overjoyed,” “Laura Palmer,” “Oblivion,” and “Things We Lost in the Fire.” “Pompeii” later reached number two on the UK Singles Chart and number five on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Some listeners confuse “Bad Blood” with “All This Bad Blood,” which is a later expanded release. Issued in November 2013, the double album re-presented the original record alongside additional material. The original “Bad Blood,” however, is the answer when asking for Bastille’s first studio album.
