Completely disagree. Lungs never even entered my conciousness I disliked it so much. Family Jewels is way ahead of anything since Bat for Lashes' Two Suns album and may even out shine it given time.

 

Is that because you dislike her voice though, as you said in the worst voices thread? I absolutely love her voice, always have done. Fair enough if you hate the album itself though, it took me a few listens but I could tell on first listen that it was something that would click properly with persistence, whereas from the first listen of Lights it was always obvious that it was never going to be anything more than 'oh that's nice' for me.

I agree. Lights is just nice. At least Lung has some real personality to it.

I'd like the future singles to be

 

The Writer

Wish I Stayed

Under the Sheets

tbh, 'under the sheets' has had it's time... besides, it's one of my least favourites on the album.

rating the album again, I'd say

 

amazing:

your biggest mistake

salt skin

the writer

guns and horses

starry eyed

this love

wish I stayed

--

good:

I'll hold my breath

lights

--

alright:

under the sheets

everytime you go

 

 

Guns & Horses is a great song, but as a single I don't think it'll do anything. It might help the album sales but I can see it charting at around #25. I just think people will find it boring. 'This Love...' and 'Your Biggest Mistake' however, could be huge. And I hope to god she doesn't re-release 'Under The Sheets', It's such a good song but I HATE it when artists re-release. It flopped the first time, move on and release new material..

If she was any sort of forward thinking artists you'd hope that she would be writing new material as we speak and that she won't be looking back at old singles to see if they could be re-released.

I know, it's very annoying. Even if she makes a new video for UTS, to most of us it's just going to be an old song. :arrr:

Under The Sheets didn't flop at all. It was released through Neon Gold records instead of Polydor so that it purposely would not do that well in the charts. It just acted as a good buzz single. I hope it's not re-released, but unfortunately I can see it happening.
Re-releasing the buzz single is never a good idea really. Especially if it did as well as Under The Sheets did and enter the top 75.
Completely over this album now if i'm honest. It was nice whilst it lasted though. Still love 'The Writer' and 'Your Love (Will Be Your Downfall)', but everything else on the album, I don't care for anymore.

Like the tone of her voice and the production. Nothing amazingly ground-breaking on there, but very pleasant sounding. As far as singles go:

 

01 | Starry-eyed

02 | This Love

03 | The Writer

04 | Guns And Horses

05 | Wish I Stayed

Overhyped? ....yes!

Album of 2010? .....no!

Bad album? ....not at all!

 

 

I agree.
