August 17, 201014 yr Itunes Update 08 Missing You 47 Higher 50 Missing You 78 Karma 94 Died In Your Eyes 97 Ego :( 115 Pupper 195 Missing You (Cahill Radio Edit) Headlines is still #1 on the album chart
August 17, 201014 yr I'm just stating my opinion on what I think will happen. We'll see if i'm right or wrong in a few weeks when Headlines will either be still in the top 40 or way out of the top 100.
August 17, 201014 yr Kay finally ready to review Missing You - Boring, wannabe American sounding and completely unoriginal and no solo for Una?? 2/10 Higher - Catchy, fun pop song. Great chorus. 8/10 Died In Your Eyes - Utterly boring. They may as well have added Here Standing instead of this. 3/10 Karma - It's catchy enough but it just hasn't clicked with me. 6/10 Puppet - I love the intro. The chorus is a bit of a letdown but overall the song is really good. 8.5/10 One Shot - I love this song but I don't really see significant difference from the album version... 9/10 for the song itself but idk wtf it's doing on this album. Ready To Rise - Catchy fierce and fabulous gay anthem. You can just picture this on blast at a club. How this is a bside is beyond me. 9/10 Idk. I'm not very impressed with this, especially when Wordshaker had so many good songs on it. My main issue with them is their lack of identity. I mean they're on their third album and they've yet to release a song that you can truly say is the Saturdays' "sound". I feel like all their songs could have been sung by anyone. Sorry for the comparison but when you look at Girls Aloud or most of Sugababes catalogue there is something in those songs that is strictly Girls Aloud or Sugababes. I feel they were really close with wordshaker with songs like Forever Is Over, Lose Control, and Wordshaker. Then something went wrong with this album. I hope their proper third album resurrects them.
August 18, 201014 yr Author ^^^ I think Headlines sh*ts all over Wordshaker. After listening to both albums, Headlines has more stronger tracks on it than Wordshaker by a mile. The Wordshaker tracks sound so average (obviously apart from Ego, One Shot and Wordshaker - the only real credible tracks on there), where at least the Headlines tracks sound fun, and something you can quite easily get up and dance to. Wordshaker had nothing of the sort.. apart from Lose Control. Again comparing the two Wordshaker just sounds so dull and lifeless. Atfer track 6 it sounds like all the songs you'd expect to hear right at the end of an album (like track 11 or 12) not half way through! Nothing could of really saved that album campaign, Ego prooved that. Higher will be their next huge hit for sure. The video is being shot in 2-3 weeks, the mixers have been commissioned - 7th Heaven, and possibly one more. It's Top 50 on iTunes and has been climbing since Sunday.
August 18, 201014 yr I don't like this album. I think it's one of the most faceless albums I've ever heard. It doesn't scream 'Saturdays', it could have been sung by any random popstar. And the new mix for One Shot isn't an improvement either. The songs I like are Forever is Over, Ego, and then One Shot but we've all heard them. Edited August 18, 201014 yr by XXXO
August 18, 201014 yr Author 6k is bad, I mean they finally get a good position but crap sales :( Sales Data Is Missing. Sales data from iTunes is missing, and has been since Sunday (even it todays update) which is why the sales are so low. I know iTunes Albums wont add many more sales on, but they've bene #1 on it since Sunday so hopefully they've had a few downloads from there. Still #3 anyway today.
August 18, 201014 yr I got this today and have given everything a few listens. 'Missing You' // 8.0 Definitely the 2nd weakest song on the album. It works as a single but I think there should've been another single before the album. 'Higher' // 10.0 Love this. Great chorus and music. Not my favourite on the EP, but it's definitely a hit single in-waiting! 'Died In Your Eyes' // 7.0 Very boring and generic. It doesn't suit their vocals at all, as proven by Kristinia DeBarge. 'Karma' // 9.5 Tacky, cheesy and very generic; but in a good way! It doesn't sound like any of the girls AT ALL but I do love it non-the-less. The chorus is so lush. 'Puppet' // 8.5 It takes a while to kick in, but once the chorus is there it's a stomper! Another really fun and cheeky chorus - this is the kind of thing I can imagine being written for Girls Aloud though. 'One Shot' [starsmith Remix] // 8.0 Remix? REMIX!? Starsmith should be sacked - they've done jack all to this; The Saturdays may aswell've just added the original onto the end if they wanted a lazy attempt to fill in the gaps. Overrall; minus the lazy inclusions of 'Forever Is Over' and the 'One Shot' remix (I'm not counting 'Ego' as it fairly fits in and is still amazing) - it's a great EP although perhaps a bit too overpriced. :(
August 18, 201014 yr Headlines is now #2 on Itunes 08 Missing You 47 Missing You 51 Higher 79 Ego 88 Karma 105 Died In Your Eyes :( 142 Puppet 196 Forever is Over (radio edit) OUT Missing You (Cahill Radio Edit)
August 18, 201014 yr Theo it's not a remix it's actually called Starsmith Mix, it was re mixed for a single release not remixed. If you get what I mean.
August 18, 201014 yr Theo it's not a remix it's actually called Starsmith Mix, it was re mixed for a single release not remixed. If you get what I mean. Well to me that still sounds like a remix. :lol:
August 18, 201014 yr Well to me that still sounds like a remix. :lol: It is esentially what Phil Tan (or whoever) did for Work
August 18, 201014 yr Theo... you gave 'higher' the best score yet it's not your favourite on the EP? 'Ego' is. :P I thought 'Karma' might've gotten a 10 from me too, but it's only just a 9.5 :kink:
August 18, 201014 yr Yeah, the Starsmith Mix is just a re-edit of "One Shot". He hasn't messed around with the master, just added to the track. It's not a remix, it's a new edit.
