I was not impressed with the album at first now I enjoy It more. It has lovely ballads.

As someone who tends to enjoy more upbeat/club-type music, I quite enjoy This Time. It's very easy listening, and I find it a pretty cohesive body of work. It tends to get trashed left, right and center on this forum, however, the one consensus critique I do agree with is that 'Already Gone' and 'Fragile' belong on the album; they are most definitely not b-side material. Looking at you, 'Forever Again.'

I also always thought Fragile would have been such a lovely title for the album too... This Time has always been so meh as an album title for me especially following Northern Star, Reason and Beautiful Intentions which are all great titles.
I think there are lovely songs on the album I just don't think they work together really, whether that be the tracklist order or not I'm not sure. |

Anyway Fragile is not only a b-side... It's part of the swedish tracklist edition

I love this album. For my taste it's her best work, the best melody. I only skip Understand and Out of Time that i don't like. I would have prefer paris Burning in it.

I would have prefer paris Burning in it. Out of Time is the best song of the album and one of the only salvageable ones she released since the year 2000 Understand is pish. Cheap take on Coldplay. The rest of the album is not really worth revisiting (Ive tried!) |

A lot of the album was very clearly knock offs of similar songs. Understand is very Coldplay, Carolyna is very Red hot chili peppers, The moment you believe is a knock off of FDOML, the song with Guy was very Robbie B-side.
Non of the album screams Mel C as an artist just Mel C trying to get a hit. This post has been edited by sammy01: 5th April 2023, 07:35 PM |

Except Protected sounds nothing like a Robbie song. And how dare she "try to get a hit"? A pop artist trying to get a hit? How shameful of her!!!1

I have to agree Protected sounds nothing like anything I've heard Robbie do, that one is reaching a bit. Also FDOML sounds nothing like TMYB either, they are just both ballads is all otherwise not similar in any way whatsoever.
I do agree that Understand has a Coldplay feel to it and Carolyna has a Red Hot Chilli Peppers feel to it, but these aren't bad things as they are still great songs, and there are tons of songs that are inspired by others out there. |

TMYB sound like Have a Little Faith.
I do love the Alternate version of Understand and Carolina better than the album version. |
