I was wondering earlier today when we'd be getting new music from them!

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo Jun 8 2017, 06:49 PM

First single is out June 16th and it's called ''Written In The Scars''. A lyric preview is online now!

How very 'Dark Horse'... (except not as interesting)

Posted by: Dexton Jun 9 2017, 09:03 AM

Sounds pretty good, it's been far too long since we've had any Script so I wonder what chart impact they'll have (if any)

Posted by: M4NG0 Jun 15 2017, 12:09 AM

Doesn't sound as good as their previous stuff on first listen, which is disappointing. Also I'm not sure how much radio support they'll get this time round, they've been around a while and I feel like public interest in them is waning, so I'd be very surprised if they managed to pull off a successful era.

Looks like they are releasing this week on Friday as they are on the R1 Breakfast show on the 14th.

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo Jul 12 2017, 05:48 PM

1st single is called 'Rain'. B-Listed by Radio 2.

Posted by: Dexton Jul 13 2017, 04:54 PM

It's rather tropical and "on trend"... not sure what I think of it. It reminds me of One Republics No Vacancy so maybe with some more listens I'll be hooked but for the moment I'm not fully sold

Posted by: Davidson Jul 13 2017, 10:37 PM

Yeah, this is very shit.

They really lost it, didn't they? It is a shame as their first album was so good and Danny has a great voice.

Posted by: lewistgreen Jul 13 2017, 11:15 PM

Oh I quite like this!

Posted by: awardinary Jul 13 2017, 11:21 PM

Too generic.

Posted by: mdh Jul 14 2017, 09:40 AM

Meh. Not good, but not THAT bad.

Posted by: ThePensmith Jul 14 2017, 11:54 AM

Hmm. I love The Script - I've bought all their albums in the past - but can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by this single on first listen. It sounds so obviously (and certainly going on what Danny has said in interviews today) like they are chasing trends just to stay relevant, chiefly that whole 'tropical' sound that's bizarrely still in vogue, which was never really the point of them. I'll reserve full judgement till the album comes out but right now I prefer their older stuff to this.

Posted by: Jonjo Jul 14 2017, 12:47 PM

It's Ok for what it is. Basically a trend chasing song. But yeah, nowhere near the heights of their first era. </3

This is all colours of beige

Keep it

They peaked with their second album - that was such a great follow up. Third album was ok, fourth was very hit and miss.
This song is pretty generic but it will probably grow on me and I'll enjoy it when I hear it on the radio but it's not something I'd go out of my way to listen to.

Posted by: Jonjo Jul 14 2017, 04:18 PM

A few listens later and I like it in a 6 out of 10 sort of way. It's listenable.

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 13 2017, 08:21 PM

Cannot unhear "Can we just go back to PENIS again" in the first verse

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo Aug 13 2017, 08:39 PM

It even featured on Innuendo Bingo on Tuesday. A rare occasion where a song features in that game!

Hearing the album now allready liking Wonders and Arms Open as faves I think

also can someone update the Title

Posted by: Dexton Sep 2 2017, 02:32 AM

Done

I just listened through it now, upon first listen I'm not as keen on this as I was on the last album. Rock The World, Wonders, Written in the Scars, & Freedom Child are sounding best so far. Big change in sound for them

Posted by: HarryEzra Sep 2 2017, 12:25 PM

Yeah when it's not my favourite of their albums at all (their 2010 album is their Best, Science and faith ). But Rock The World, Moments, Written In The Scars and freedom Child were the best.

Posted by: Jonjo Sep 2 2017, 12:30 PM

Surprised by how much I liked this! Their best since their debut tbh.

Divided States of America was a standout for me.

Posted by: lewistgreen Nov 9 2017, 10:19 PM

Arms Open now confirmed as the second single. Radio 2 have added it to their playlist this week.

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo Nov 10 2017, 04:05 PM

Added to Radio 1 playlist last week.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Nov 12 2017, 08:52 PM

Hopefully arms open does manage to chart even if its in the low part of the chart and help the album sell again.

Posted by: Dexton Apr 22 2018, 12:14 PM

Between the acoustic version and today’s Rodjar remix I think it’s safe to say No Man is an Island is the next single! It sounds so much better acoustic tbh (on Spotify, not sure if it’s on iTunes etc.)

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway Apr 23 2018, 05:03 PM

That's cool, it was one of my favourite songs from the album.
