Why do today, what you can do tomorrow? Joined: 7 November 2008 Posts: 10,466 User: 7,645	I remember buying this album on day of release and saw Calvin in Bristol's O2 academy in October 2009. Good times. Will take a listen over the weekend and refresh my memory with some of the tracks over the weekend and put my rate in next week sometime.

BuzzJack Legend Pronouns: he/him Joined: 25 July 2013 Posts: 25,991 User: 19,585	07 \| The Rain 09 \| Ready for the Weekend 08 \| Stars Come Out 11 \| You Used to Hold Me 09 \| Blue 10 \| I'm Not Alone 10 \| Flashback 03 \| Worst Day (feat. Izza Kizza) 04 \| Relax 04 \| Limits 02 \| Burns Night 07 \| Yeah Yeah Yeah La La La 10 \| Dance Wiv Me (Dizzee Rascal feat. Calvin Harris & Chrome) 04 \| 5iliconeator 09 \| Greatest Fear The singles are quite clearly the obvious standout here; You Used To Hold Me will always remain a top Calvin song for me. This really dips in quality in the middle after Flashback though. Worst Day is incredibly bad and the autotune on Limits is terrible Dance Wiv Me is a nice inclusion towards the end. Of the ATs, Blue, Greatest Fear and Stars Come Out are definitely the highlights.

🔥🚀🔥 Joined: 30 August 2010 Posts: 74,532 User: 11,746	Let's get these results started then, starting with the bottom five. XAWAF6_UHoU 11. "Relax" 6.214285714 12. "Yeah Yeah Yeah La La La" 6.142857143 13. "Limits" 6 14. "Worst Day" (featuring Izza Kizza) 5.714285714 15. "Burns Night" 5.571428571 Right at the bottom is the downbeat interlude track 'Burns Night', which I didn't think was the worst on the album actually but it's not very exciting of a song either. 'Worst Day' is the other song with a sub-six average, not helped by a poor guest rap verse and the song doesn't suit Calvin at all, thankfully he soon found a style that worked for him. 'Limits' suffers here from the overuse of autotune on Calvin's voice and finishes with an average of exactly six. 'Yeah Yeah Yeah La La La' is a bit more upbeat and should've finished top 10 really but like most of this album isn't a big Calvin fave. Just missing the top 10 is 'Relax' which is one of the more electro sounding tracks of the album.

BuzzJack Legend Pronouns: he/him Joined: 25 July 2013 Posts: 25,991 User: 19,585	The next five, continuing with the album tracks of course p-fEOdI-CeM 6. "Greatest Fear" 8.142857143 7. "Stars Come Out" 7.714285714 8. "Blue" 7.428571429 9. "The Rain" 7.285714286 10. "5iliconeator" 6.357142857 Some fairly middling votes here, but I'd say some of the better tracks on the album for sure. 'Greatest Fear' just misses the Top 5 and was included as a bonus track on the album but if it had been given an edit and release I reckon it could've done quite well!

🔥🚀🔥 Joined: 30 August 2010 Posts: 74,532 User: 11,746	XO4msvIA7cw 5. "Ready for the Weekend" 8.142857143 The weakest single of the album as judged by the voters here turns out to be the title track! It was released as the second single from the album and peaked at #3 and saw him return to a more disco style.

BuzzJack Legend Pronouns: he/him Joined: 25 July 2013 Posts: 25,991 User: 19,585	mf58RAPR8Ws 4. "You Used to Hold Me" 9.142857143 The final single released from the album, which reached #27 in charts in 2010. The track was more electro in style and is definitely one of my favourite tracks from him.
