The album should have got a release last year or have been hold back until early 2020.
The material has got poor reviews which has been a huge problem and i do agree the style of music does not fit with Liam.
Most of work is feature based and this lacks identity for Liam.
I think he will really struggle hugely going forward with his solo career unless he can comeback with both a strong and appealing sound.

Down to £4.99 in HMV's Big Sale, so I think if I end up going shopping tomorrow I'll make sure to get that because it's a stretch even paying that for it kink.gif

How is he claiming 2.5 million album sales globally, I can't see a single country where it has performed well.

I bought the album on CD (signed) and I do like it, some parts not so much.. It's almost a GH with so many singles on it, all of which I like (STD, BF, F, GL, AIWFCIU, SIU, P, LF & FY - 9 singles!) If that doesn't sell your album what will?

I like Remember + Rude Hours + Say It All. The rest is hit and miss but it'll do.

Those sales are heavily inflated.
I would doubt the album has managed 100,000 worldwide sales right now.
The album does, climb to Number 55 in the UK this week.

Strip That Down has 11.5m units WW
Polaroid 2m units WW
For You was huge hit in Europe and all of his singles did well on streams, so...

2.5m units WW using the new method isnt that fake

I finally got around to listening to the album, and honestly... I don't think it's as terrible as it's made out to be (Both Ways aside, that really is trash), but that said, it's not great. It's a rather unremarkable set of songs.

Out of the first 10 tracks (i.e. the newer tracks; tracks 11-17 are all the older singles attached to the end), I consider Remember & Say It All as being highlights. Either of these probably should have got the single treatment over Stack It Up.

Heart Meets Break, Hips Don't Lie & Rude Hours are highly generic with some choice lyrics, however they're listenable enough. The production and his voice work nicely together, the main problem is that what he's singing about is very inconsequential. Tell Your Friends, Weekend and Both Ways are forgettable/boring/bad.

It's definitely notable how the quality rises with the old songs (For You is quite clearly the overall highlight on this album), but with them all thrown on the end of the album it highlights what a mish mash of styles he's tried out. LP1 might have worked slightly better if they'd attempted to mix in the old singles throughout the album? Hmm!

I haven't yet heard the 5 bonus tracks (Hurting Me / Before It Ends / Down / Trouble / Nobody Else), so I'll be interested to hear if any of these deserved to be standard album tracks.

HMV must have a warehouse full of Liam’s album to shift - just realised they have put every format on offer kink.gif

CD - £2.99 with any purchase
Standard Vinyl - £9.99
Blue Vinyl - £13.99
HMV Exclusive Clear Vinyl - £13.99

Could get him a few more sales - it’s really not a terrible album just very generic.

I'm sure the price reduction will help shift a few copies.
