Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,050 User: 116	For me the melodies on the album are nice enough for the most part but the production on almost every track is horribly dated. Mike Stock was such a strange choice of producer to work with, half of these sound like Scooch leftovers from 15 years ago. I do like the cover of About You Now though and the acoustic version of No Promises (i.e. the songs where the pre-historic production can't be heard).

Has Shayne promotion lined up? No apart from what he's done already it seems he's throwing everything at the HMV signings (Which is not a bad thing) - Including today's ones he has 7 more signings for the UK and 2 for Ireland. I'm guessing to be at #11 he's sold around 1,500 copies so far - That's why I'm disappointed I thought the Pledge Music pre-orders and the 2x HMV signings he done on Monday would have amounted to more?

He's long past the days of success. Maybe I was just getting my carried away that the Pledge target was beaten by over 200% and there seems to be a massive a twitter campaign - I guess based on the performance of his last album which was backed by Syco and flopped then your right Top 40 is an achievement.

Just hope it doesn't go into free fall now as his last UK signings were today and as sales are SO close he could easily be pushed down 15+ places and it's also almost out of the iTunes Top 150 too

Still hoping for a top 10 position but know thats being optimistic. This post has been edited by farfaraway: 17th April 2015, 12:19 PM

Can see it having a chart run of something like 18-97-Out

I'm in no rush to buy the album unfortunately. (I still think his talent is greater than the majority of his material has dictated... it's a shame).

The rest is a bore fest apart from The Way we were which is middle ish. He'll never top Breathless ballad wise or No Promises. He's had some good songs over the years. I dont think this direction was wise... 4,000 albums sold. Not bad. It'll drop fast though. This post has been edited by sajjadali: 20th April 2015, 10:30 PM

I don't know why he's gone with such a dated sound instead of something current. 'About You Now' and the acoustic 'No Promises' are easily the two highlights.

Plus he does have so much talent, but it's being wasted.
