Getting back into 'Photograph' in a pretty big way lately. Such a beautiful, stunning little song. Definitely my favourite from the album.

Just bought this album (blindly) and I'm halfway through. Pretty impressed so far! I'm just worried that it'll be a bit same-y for 17 tracks long.
Favorites so far are 'One' and 'Nina'. Not too keen on 'I'm a Mess'. Vocally he reminds me of Ryan Adams at times, most notably in 'One'. This post has been edited by Atonement: 24th October 2014, 01:01 PM |

'Sing' has clicked with me, pretty much half a year after its release

I have finally given this a listen.
It is an album of two halves - when he is stripped back doing ballads it is really quite wonderful: Thinking Out Loud, Photographs, One, Afire Love et all are stunning. When he goes on one of his faux-swag trips though it's very unlistenable for me (in particular 'The Man' which is just bad). Still don't get how 'Don't' and 'Sing' were so big either. Also what is going on with the tracklisting order? Very very jittery flow between A LOT of the tracks and it's such a pet hate of mine when it seems like the artist can't listen to the album back and try and add some structure to it to make it make sense musically a little more. But i enjoyed the album a lot more than i thought i would and i have made a fair few wonderful discoveries out of it, so yay for that ![]() |

Especially 'Afire Love' followed by 'Take It Back'. OK 'Take It Back' is a deluxe track but what the actual fukk. Howling. |

Just had to post this review The Guardian gave the Wembley Stadium show. It's not often I agree with every word a broadsheet critic writes but in this instance, I do: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jul/...omplete-triumph
My good uni friend and her sister were at the final show last night. It has apparently been filmed for a DVD release so I shall look forward to that. |

I know, right? I kick myself repeatedly I didn't get to see him live at my student's union before it all went off for him. But it's proof he can capitivate any audience, whatever size crowd he's performing. That's the mark of someone who's gonna be in it for the long run career wise.

I'm surprised the Rudimental version of "Bloodstream" isn't on there and that "All Of The Stars" has been removed

I love how the music industry seems to think releasing on the 13th November is better than releasing the following week when Adele does - you may not get a #1 against Adele but you could still debut higher than in a week where they'll be lots of debuts. I know this doesn't matter in regards to x but it's just a thought that came to me just generally speaking.

Very true, it will end up at #3 at best behind 1D and Justin, possibly lower, but I guess it's already been #1 before so it won't bother him that much.
At least The Corrs still have a clear and easy path to #1 on Nov 27th. Adele's second week could nevah. |

I'd say #1 is probably wishful thinking for The Corrs gooddelta. Easy top 10 yes, but '25' is basically going to be to this Christmas what 'Progress' was for Take That in 2010.
Bit peeved I'll have to buy the album again but glad we are getting the DVD of the film at least as I missed it when it was in cinemas last week! This post has been edited by ThePensmith: 26th October 2015, 07:54 PM |

Only joking, I don't think it will even go top ten in the high sales climate. I'm thinking #25 maybe ![]() I'll probably buy this Ed deluxe release too, I didn't see the film either. |

I'd say top 10. They're doing The Royal Variety which always gets great ratings and if they get a performance slot on X Factor or Strictly that'll be a nice little booster for them. |

I would love to see The Corrs go number 1 but it will never happen unfortunately

Finally took the plunge and got the Wembley Edition of the album on sale the other day, watching the DVD right now. This has just increased my respect of him tenfold, I've got goosebumps watching it. You can have all the bells and whistles on and play a gig of that stature, but he goes and sells out Wembley Stadium three f***ing times with just him and a guitar. I admire that so little has changed about him as a performer within the time he's been around, the simplicity of what he does is so powerful and wide reaching. Much respect.

Photograph from this album is now 3X platinum!!
Do many other non top ten songs have 1,800,000 “sales”? Pretty impressive for a #15 peaking track. This post has been edited by Jordan Lee: 12th July 2019, 03:27 PM |
