Avicii's second album 'Stories' is now set to be released in exactly a month from today! I am of course really hyped for it, but until then let's take a few moments to rate and appreciate his debut, 'True'.



'True' debuted at #2 in the official album chart, behind Arctic Monkeys 'AM', and off the back of 'Hey Brother's massive success re-peaked at #2 months later, being denied the top spot by Bombay Bicycle Club. It eventually spent 11 weeks in the top 10 and 33 weeks in the top 40 which is an amazing success for a dance music album. It also by the end of 2014 sold 336,500 units, enough for it to be certified platinum. The singles taken from it were highly successful too, with 'Wake Me Up' being a multi-week #1 and million-seller, and 'Hey Brother' peaking at #2. Other singles did well too, with 'You Make Me' peaking at #5 and 'Addicted To You' at #14. The only flop was 'Lay Me Down' which didn't make the top 100 and thus ended the 'True' era.

Rules:
• one 11 allowed
• one -1 allowed (but I will shade you forever)
• half marks allowed
• at least half of the album must be rated
• you have 2 weeks from today to rate

This album IS amazing but I also think how much more incredible it could have been with the addition of Levels, I Could Be The One, Silhouettes, Fade Into Darkness (and the best song of 2013 We Write The Story of course, but it would have stood out like a sore thumb).

omg I considered doing this but I didn't bother asking because I assumed one was done ages ago

Going to do this later in the week!

Also are there going to be the Avicii by Avicii ones too?

Posted by: Danvicii Aug 25 2015, 01:19 PM

Just the standard and deluxe tracks for now, I didn't think there'd be much interest for the remix album as well

Standard Edition
11 01. Wake Me Up (feat. Aloe Blacc) would've been higher if overplayment hadn't have killed it (yes I know it's 11 )
8.5 02. You Make Me (feat. Salem Al Fakir)
10 03. Hey Brother (feat. Dan Tyminski) bloody amazing. Also deserves 11 tbh. I think all the hate on here is because of the vocals. I myself wasn't that struck at first would you believe
9 04. Addicted To You (feat. Audra Mae) JAM also the video
10 05. Dear Boy (feat. MØ) forever obsessed with this ever since i first heard it on the promo mix absolutely gutted it was never released one of the most underrated album tracks of all time!
7.5 06. Liar Liar (feat. Blondfire) A by A version/On My Own >>>>>>>>>> this but it's still good
7 07. Shame On Me (feat. Sterling Fox & Audra Mae) not that great until build up tbh
8.5 08. Lay Me Down (feat. Adam Lambert & Nile Rodgers)
9.5 09. Hope There's Someone (feat. Linnea Henriksson) another brilliant album track
8.5 10. Heart Upon My Sleeve

iTunes Bonus Tracks
8.5 11. Long Road To Hell (feat. Audra Mae)
9.5 12. Edom omg I must've overlooked this the first for few times I've heard this.

Spotify Bonus Tracks
8.5 11. Canyons
8.5 12. All You Need Is Love (feat. Ruth-Anne)

Amazon Bonus Track
9 11. Always On The Run (feat. Noonie Bao) vocals aren't that special but the production certainly makes up for it

Maybe next we could have a rate of pre-#TRUE Avicii tracks? So many stunning songs before and after

Posted by: Cody Slayberry Aug 25 2015, 09:52 PM

I don't think "Hey Brother" is hated, let alone because of the vocals. I think it just has a high burn rate.

Ethan currently dishing out the most points closely followed by me and Dan
Oh and Cody may even have beaten Ethan if he voted for the other bonus tracks
