It's been doing really well on Amazon pre-orders and appears to be performing way better than the other releases that are due on 29th September; I really think she can do it! wub.gif

I like all 4 songs so far and enjoy listening to them but I don't really LOVE them.

Still, it's so great to have her back.

I'm waiting for Solider, I can see that being a real Moment. This er has been lacking a You're Still The One/From This Moment On/Forever & For Always/When You Kiss Me.

I also miss all the exclamation marks sad.gif Now! is a much better title.

I don't want to be negative about this album considering what she went through and how long we waited but I really, really don't like it. I'll just leave it at that.

This album is glorious wub.gif I was a bit unsure about how I'd take to an album of Shania without Country, but it all works beautifully. It's the same sort of lyrical stuff and the voice is different but still recognisably Shania.

Solider is easily the best along with Poor Me.

I am listening to it again and it's not as bad as I made it out to be at all. I think in my head I was just still thinking/hoping for classic Shania. But it's so different.

I'm just happy she's back at it.

Love Swingin' and Soldier (gorgeous song) and I like Poor Me and Life's About To Get Good, but the rest of the album didn't impress me much!

I’ve been listening to Where Do You Think You’re Going and Because of You non-stop since Friday lol I’m so in love with this album! I didn’t expect to love it this much, she really delivered wub.gif

I hope she adds another Glasgow date, I need to see her cry.gif

Sales are abysmal at the minute aren’t they sad.gif

A friend of mine bought us tickets for her show in Amsterdam next year. I can't wait!

The album has really grown on me and I actually bought it now. Shania was always known to me for the endless optimism in her songs. That optimism makes place for depressing songs on this album. Sure, there are some uplifting songs on here as well but even some song with seemingly happy lyrics have darker arrangements. It's very different to her other albums which, in retrospect, is not a bad thing at all.

7.5/10 Swinging with My Eyes Closed
4.5/10 Home Now
9.0/10 Light of My Life
9.0/10 Poor Me
8.5/10 Who's Gonna Be Your Girl
8.5/10 More Fun
7.5/10 I'm Alright
8.0/10 Let's Kiss and Make Up
8.5/10 Where Do You Think You're Going?
8.0/10 Roll Me on the River
8.0/10 We Got Something They Don't
7.5/10 Because of You
6.5/10 You Can't Buy Love
7.0/10 Life's About to Get Good
8.0/10 Has Anybody Seen My Soldier?
9.5/10 All in All

I see a lot of fans being very positive about 'Home Now' (often stating it as a highlight), but for me it's actually the only song which I don't like.

On a bitter note, it dropped out of the Dutch album top 100 after only spending one week inside (at #22).
