Hmmm, 'Case Closed'... there's something about it I like, the Chorus is pretty strong and I'm loving the R&B tinge.

I like this but again, it's just bland and filler-y to me. Mehhhhhhhhhh.

This version of DNA is stunning. They have some gorgeous unplugged/acoustic versions of their songs when they actually get the chance to record them and not have their vocals isolated and added over an acoustic guitar (which has happened a lot over the last couple of eras or so drama.gif)

It's hard to rank remixed versions of songs so I think I'll leave my ranking there, but still listening. This is so pretty wub.gif their harmonies shine as ever <3

Yeh that's me done with rankings too.

It's nice to have a different version of 'DNA' and it adds a new drama too it, but I don't feel like it's essential at all. It's no 'Touch (Acoustic)'.

01. DNA
02. Turn Your Face
03. Always Be Together
04. Red Planet (feat. T-Boz)
05. Wings

06. Madhouse
07. Love Drunk
08. How Ya Doin'?
09. Stereo Soilder
10. Change Your Life

11. Going Nowhere
12. Case Closed
13. Pretend It's Ok

Haha. That's fair! laugh.gif I wasn't going to, but thought it'd be interesting to see where they would have placed. laugh.gif

I remember this music video premiering when I had a sick day off school, so that brightened it up a bit (quite literally with that colour palette laugh.gif).

I prefer the single mix to the album version... a fair bit. I feel like it elevates it as a song more and prevents it from sounding completely dated. Missy's verse is strong too! wub.gif

Getting Missy so early into their career *.*

It's a very pretty music video and I think Missy brings it pretty well!

That was definitely an accolade in itself!

Thank you to those of you who took part! I've loved relistening to this as, like I said before, it'd been a while since I last heard it in full!

Hope you can join for 'Salute' next week! Time TBC but it'll be around this time again! wub.gif

SO excited for 'Salute'!

My rankings would be

1. Wings
2. DNA
3. Red Planet
4. We Are Who We Are
5. Change Your Life
6. Stereo Soldier
7. Pretend It's OK
8. Always Be Together
9. Turn Your Face
10. Love Drunk
11. How Ya Doin
12. Going Nowhere
13. Case Closed
14. Make You Believe
15. Madhouse

I had forgotten what most all of the album tracks were like so I really enjoyed hearing it again. It certainly felt like the album peaked in the first half.

How Ya Doin sounded better than I remembered it sounding. I do prefer it without Missy's feature unfortunately. But still De La Soul's use of the sample >>>

Overall it really felt like Leigh-Anne & Jesy's album. Perrie sounded weird at times and Jade didn't get anywhere near enough chances to shine.
