Yh, EIB is a gem, reminds me of Sensitized but it's better than Sensitized.

My rate:

 

9 - All The Lovers

10 - Get Outta My Way

10 - Put Your Hands Up

9.5 - Closer

9.5 - Everything Is Beautiful

9 - Aphrodite

8 - Illusion

9.5 - Better Than Today

8 - Too Much

8 - Cupid Boy

7 - Looking For An Angel

9 - Can't Beat The Feeling

Only a 7 for LFAA? how come?

Hmmm, it's a bit frothy and light. Seems to wash over me without leaving much of an impression. Love the chorus but can't even remember the verses and i listened to it two mins ago!

 

Also - I didn't rate Mighty Rivers - erm... 8?

For me it's the chorus that lets down 'Looking For An Angel', it'd be a great song otherwise as the bits that lead up to it are great.

My rate:

 

All The Lovers 9

Get Outta My Way 11 :cheer:

Put Your Hands Up 8.5

Closer 6

Everything Is Beautiful 9

Aphrodite 9.5

Illusion 8.5

Better Than Today 8

Too Much 7.5

Cupid Boy 9

Looking For An Angel 7

Can't Beat The Feeling 7

 

Mighty Rivers 8 (grower!)

Im going to do my rate at the weekend as by then i will have given the album a full week of listening to and no the songs better from listening a good few times, there is no song im majorily disapointed with though i have to say.

I think the chrous of LFAA is the best bit personally and i really like the finger clicking noise at around 3 minutes before the last chorus, so touching

The chorus of LFAA is definitely the best bit. It's got so much impact. When it comes back after the quieter middle 8 it's definitely one of the most euphoric moments on the album.

Thank you for agreeing with me, you hit the nail on the head with that description

So far, it’s the summer of Eminem…at least as far as the HITS album sales chart goes.

The hip-hop star’s Recovery continues apace next week, with the platinum-plus Shady/ Aftermath/Interscope album still dominating the #1 slot.

 

Through two weeks, Slim Shady’s sales total sits at 1.06m and rising after the biggest debut of 2010. Lady Antebellum’s Capitol Nashville/EMI album Need You Now remains the year’s top seller at 2.4m.

 

Among this week's debuts, Def Jam/IDJ’s Big Boi will be the biggest, with the Outkast member’s solo debut, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, which went from Jive to L.A. Reid’s label, set to sell between 50-55k.

 

One-time Poison lead singer and reality TV star Bret Michaels’ Custom Built, on Poor Boy Records through Mailboat, will move 25-30k, miraculous considering the dude was almost dead a couple of months ago. The country-rock effort, his first solo studio album in five years, features the single, “Nothing to Lose,” featuring Miley Cyrus.

 

Enrique Iglesias’ first album for Universal Republic, the bilingual Euphoria, appears set to sell between 25-30k as well, with a Top 20 hit at Top 40 hit in “I Like It,” featuring Pitbull.

 

Astrawerks/EMI international dance diva Kylie Minogue’s Aphrodite is on target for between 10-15k, and that’s it for the Top 50 newcomers.

Billboard

 

Unless something awfully crazy happens, next week Eminem's "Recovery" will be the first album to notch three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since March. That's when Sade's "Soldier of Love" wrapped a three-week run atop the list. Industry prognosticators expect "Recovery" to easily hold in the penthouse, as none of this week's new releases will pose a threat to its chart supremacy.

 

Drake's "Thank Me Later" is also looking like it will probably remain at No. 2 for a third straight week, while OutKast's Big Boi is on course to snare the chart's top debut. His "Sir Lucious Left Foot...The Son of Chico Dusty" is projected to sell in the range of 45,000 to 55,000 copies by week's end on July 11. That should probably place the album in the top five, and it might be the only new entry in the top 10.

 

Both Enrique Iglesias' "Euphoria" and Bret Michaels' "Custom Built" are also possibly headed for top 20 debuts, as is Kylie Minogue's "Aphrodite."

 

Next week's album charts competes with the same week in 2009 when Michael Jackson's "Number Ones" remained the top-selling set in the U.S. with 349,000 (up 3%) while Maxwell's "BLACKsummers'night" bowed as the second-biggest of the week with 316,000. Jackson claimed a full six out of the top 10 sellers that week, with "Thriller" (No. 3; 264,000), "The Essential Michael Jackson" (No. 4; 148,000), "Off the Wall" (No. 6; 107,000), "Bad" (No. 8; 97,000) and "Dangerous" (No. 9; 67,000).

Is that good or bad?

position wise, pretty amazing considering X got to number 139 with waaaaay more promotion

If it does make top 20 then its the first time kylie will be on the us radar properly since 2001 which is very good news! they really needto promote goomw over there!

#3 debut Spain!

Good for Spain. Wooop, we have our first chartings coming in now.

I only just got the album today! There's a problem with my card which led to it being declined so I've had my order waiting all week until the problems were sorted out but this morning I caved and ended up buying it from the local Sainsbury's lol.

 

I have to say on first listen I was SO disappointed :( I was expecting something brilliant and it just didn't really deliver. I'm now onto my third listen and it's growing but very slowly. It's not the instant classic I was hoping for, I loved every song on X from the first listen but it hasn't happened here.

You're prob one of the very few to think that but each to their own. I think its easier to grow to this album becuase its quite coherant. If anything I think its harder to grow to like X becuase its all over the place. I do love X and it was actually my fave Parlo album but this album is much better in my opinion.
