That was with the re-release though. The original deluxe album 'only' had 16 songs, plus the Tinie version of 'Hanging On'.

QUOTE(toxic_air @ Nov 12 2015, 11:15 AM)  Judging these on first listen. She's in my top 3 artists of all time, so I'm going in with high hopes! 11 Aftertaste - WHAT AN OPENER. 08 Something in the Way You Move 09 Keep On Dancin' 08 On My Mind 08 Around U 10 Codes 10 Holding On For Life - This is not a sell out? This is a reinvention. It is lyrical depth with an amazing production backing and hypnotic vocals? 10 Love Me Like You Do 08 Don't Need Nobody 07 Don't Panic 09 We Can't Move to This 10 Army - As an Ellie fan since the beginning I completely understand why this is the second single. It is stunning. It's a touch of Halcyon that fits like a glove on this album. 09 Lost and Found 08 Devotion 09 Scream it Out - WHERE IS THE DUD IN THE ALBUM GUYS????!?? Sell out, why? Why do we classify up-tempo and pop productions as sell-out. If anything, it is the most competitive place to be in, if we are comparing any genre? This is not chart talk, this is music talk. Ellie pulls it off better than most of our most beloved pop artists? Her lyrics still hold amazing lyrical depth. So, I see it as a shallow review of music within itself. You are judging a song having hooks by being shallow? I don't follow that at all. We especially hold these standards on female singers. Stop putting people in boxes. I could see if she came out the gates with a track like 'Womanizer', 'Pokerface', or most of all something like 'Single Ladies' or 'Drunk On Love'. This is pop music catered to an adult audience. Ballads do not equal maturity. There is not ONE single second of cheap thrills? Or are you counting the fact she shows her abs on the cover? I'm clutching at straws here guys. On first listen, this is the best album I've heard since 'Blackout', and that's my favorite album of all time. Stunning. Brilliant. Bravo Ellie. the accuracy of this post is gobsmacking; this is just what i've been trying to reiterate repeatedly.  this album is amazing.

codes, something in the way you move, don't need nobody, devotion, lost and found, keep on dancin' and scream it out would all be great single choices. the whole album is effectively single-worthy imo

Just finished my first full run-through of the standard version and enjoyed it a lot more than I'd thought I would. Was underwhelmed overall by the songs put out over the last few weeks ('Something In The Way You Move' very much aside) and, in light of this being a key point in Ellie's career, I guess I unfairly anticipated that the length of the album and different styles/influences present would make it feel like a dragging, incoherent mess of ideas. As it happened though, nearly every song that was new to me clicked to some degree, and everything else sounded fitting in context. I still wouldn't say it flows particularly well (though a song as recognisable as 'Love Me Like You Do' put right in the middle was never going to help matters in that regard) but the production is consistently great and the varied vocal effects/layering keep things interesting throughout. There's plenty of innovative pop music in a similar vein to her past stuff on here so I definitely agree that it's far from a sell-out, and that the 'Halcyon' purists like myself should be at least somewhat pleased!
'Aftertaste', 'Codes', 'Holding On For Life', 'Don't Need Nobody', 'We Can't Move To This' and 'Devotion' are the big new discoveries for me. 'Around U' is the obvious dud, at least at this moment in time. 'Something In The Way You Move' for next single, but I think quite a few could work well. (I'm actually kind of relieved I like this as much as I do!  ) |

I'm very surprised how incredible this album was, I was very underwhelmed with 'On My Mind' and despite it being a grower I would claim that it's her weakest lead single. I absolutely love 'Army' but unfortunately as much as I want it to be a single, I can't see troubling the top 20 which would be disappointing for the second single from the album.
'Something In The Way You Move' is easily one of the best things that Ellie has sung and I pray that it's the next single, It's such a huge popstar moment although I have no doubts she would struggle with this live. 'Holding On For Life' is also a personal favourite, it's absolutely incredible, I hope that it's released a single. |

Looks like Interscope is going to push "Something In the Way You Move" instead of "Army" as the second single. The former has been added to the Top 40 playlist from PlayIGA, which you could listen to it here.

YES! 'Something In The Way You Move' is easily the best from this era.

Certainly the album needs a boost in the UK, down to #89 and weak sales, certainly not a stocking filler by the looks of it... And Army had a luke warm response.
She seems to be doing much better in the US than UK now. |

It was top 20 in the midweeks, it's doing completely fine (and better than in the US at the moment where it's dropped out of the top 40) |
