October 25, 201014 yr Author http://i52.tinypic.com/2e1wpbr.jpg Take That hijack the glory from rock acts at Q Awards It’s meant to be music’s biggest night of rock’n’roll but our most famous guitar heroes had to step aside as boyband Take That hijacked the glory at today’s Q Awards. ..No one could deny the pop band after they were welcomed into Q’s Hall of Fame after 20 years of hits, splits and oh, eleven impressive number ones. Comeback recruit Robbie Williams joined Gary Barlow and his merry men as they took to the red carpet to eclipse the likes of Suede, Green Day, Madness, Bryan Ferry and Kasabian. Enjoying a revival of their own, it was Brit Pop princes Suede who joined Take That on the winners’ podium ahead of their small reunion gig in West London later this week. Brett Anderson and his Animal Nitrate singers were honoured with the Q Inspiration Award inside London’s Grosvenor House hotel. .. Source...metro.co.uk Edited October 25, 201014 yr by Cleo

A Film About Progress, will follow on December 6. Source...Digital Spy
October 26, 201014 yr T'riffic. Can hardly wait. Seriously, how much more can they milk this reunion? KER-CHINNNNNNNNGGGGG :rolleyes:
October 27, 201014 yr The lads have moved the single AND album forward by a week. Excuse given was due to high demand. Very annoying there is no longer a battle with JLS which would have been great for sales overall. Oh well, maybe JLS will also move their dates forward? Going up against TT will maximize their sales even if it means missing #1.
October 27, 201014 yr From TT.COM Take That have announced a new documentary entitled Look Back, Don't Stare, which will air on ITV in November and be released as a full-length DVD on 6th December. With unrestricted and highly privileged access to the recording studio throughout the last 12 months, Look Back, Don't Stare is a raw, intimate meditation on the process of friendship and forgiveness. A story of how a newfound personal honesty inspired the creation of a remarkable record, as an enduring document of a group of people inextricably bound by their pasts, in search of progress. It's not about money or chart success - this is about life, imperfect relationships, trust, and the righting of wrong. 'Take That: Look Back, Don't Stare' will be broadcast on ITV in November, and a full-length DVD version of the documentary titled 'Look Back, Don't Stare. A Film About Progress', will be released on 6th December. What can you do but laugh? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

October 28, 201014 yr Take That : defy Gravity http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01152/SNF28BIZT--682_1152642a.jpg WESTLIFE will be crying into their Guinness tonight. TAKE THAT have lobbed a massive spanner into the Irish lads' plans for chart domination with their new album Gravity. GARY BARLOW, MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE, HOWARD DONALD and their old pal ROBBIE WILLIAMS have moved the release date of their new album Progress forward to the same day, November 15. All the four-leaf clovers in the world won't help in Westlife HQ when word filters through to the lads. Da Loif's loss is a huge gain for JLS. Their second album, Out Of This World, was originally due to go head-to-head with Take That. They will now have the chance to knock the elder statesmen of pop, or Westlife, off the top spot after only a week. I can't see it happening, but it is going to make for a great chart battle. Last night a Take That spokesman said the release date change was because of the huge response to their press conference at London's Savoy hotel on Tuesday announcing their tour dates. I reckon the real reason is to give them an extra week to fill their boots with monster sales in the Christmas market. But there is one threat Take That, Westlife and JLS haven't taken into consideration - beardy folk grandads FOSTER & ALLEN. They are bringing out their 18th album, Magic Moments, on the same day too. The Saga Holiday pensioners could just decide this one. Walking sticks at dawn . . . I got a chance to hear Take That's new album at The Savoy gigs launch. The band played me all ten tracks (plus a secret song) - and it could break the million barrier by the time we're all tucking into our turkey. Robbie takes a huge role and producer STUART PRICE has stamped his influence all over it. Here's a brief review of each song: 1. THE FLOOD: First single. You'll have heard it already. Big pop hit. 2. SOS: Not an ABBA cover. Mark takes lead vocals. Producer Price injects a hint of his efforts on MADONNA's Confessions On A Dance Floor album. 3. WAIT: A PET SHOP BOYS feel to it. Real '80s influence. 4. KIDZ: Mark and Robbie are in the driving seat here. Has a flavour of LA ROUX and SCISSOR SISTERS. 5. PRETTY THINGS: Interesting harmonies between Robbie and Gary. Sounds like a song all about the trappings of fame. 6. HAPPY NOW: If the BEE GEES were knocking out records now, this is how they would sound. 7. UNDERGROUND MACHINE: Robbie on lead vocals. Very modern and up-to-date for Gary and the boys. 8. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?: Mark opens up about his marriage troubles. Strong stuff and a great track. Could be a KILLERS single. 9. AFFIRMATION: Jason and Howard get their chance to shine. Great guitar action. 10. EIGHT LETTERS (plus hidden track FLOWER BED): Gary's big number about saying "I love you". Take That also has eight letters though, so could be about his love for them. Chorus is a rip-off of ULTRAVOX hit Vienna. The secret track is a cracker. Jason really impresses.

October 28, 201014 yr Take Ten! EXCLUSIVE: BOYS' NEW ALBUM It's Gary, Howard, Robbie, Mark and Jason all right... but as you've never heard them before. Futuristic, electro-heavy, bassthumping Take That have ripped up 20 years of history and shown, once again, that they still have a massive future. I was given an exclusive first listen to the reformed group's 10-track album, Progress, and I can confirm that it's an absolute belter. Determined not to be a bit-part member (as if), Rob's got his dulcet Stoke-on-Trent vocals on over half the tracks. But despite that, it's still a corker. So good, in fact, that the band have pushed first single The Flood forward a week - sending Westlife running and even pushing Simon Cowell's X Factor charity single back a fortnight. Here's the lowdown on all 10 tracks... THE FLOOD An anthemic, rousing tune, and the first single off the new album. Huge. SOS Robbie and Mark combine on this electro-rocky number. Thumping chorus line and very polished. WAIT Rob's synthesized vocals give this an 80s feel. Personal lyrics about regret, and dealing with criticism. KIDZ You'll either love it or hate it. Another marching bassline, with Mark recording main vocals on the slightly Pink Floyd-esque track. PRETTY THINGS Slower in tempo, Robbie sounds great. A real grower. HAPPY NOW My favourite track on the album, an absolute Tune with a capital 'T'. Scissor Sister-lite, Gary and Rob dominate on this massively upbeat and vocoder-heavy number. Please let this be the next single, boys. UNDERGROUND MACHINE Classic Robbie, complete with catchy chorus: "When the girl meets the boy and the boy meets the girl and the boy thinks the girl's all right. All right." WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? Another absolute classic. While Mark is keen to stress this deeply personal song was written before his extramarital affairs came to light, there's no denying the poignancy of the lyrics: "It's been a difficult year/(but) I still want to belong to you/I still want to grow old with you/I still think I'm in love with you/I still think you're the one for me but what do you want from me?" AFFIRMATION Howard gets to have a go on the mic. Love his voice but the track feels like a bit of a filler. EIGHT LETTERS Features the lyric "Look back, don't stare" - the name of TT's forthcoming film. Fantastic song, hints at the lads repairing their relationship with Robbie. Rousing climax and set to be the closing track for next year's tour. http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2010/1...15875-22663483/ PR
October 28, 201014 yr The rumored who is singing what was wrong then. By the sounds of the reviews it is more like this: 1. The Flood - Robbie and Gary 2. SOS - Robbie & Mark 3. Wait - Robbie 4. Kidz - Mark and Robbie 5. Pretty Things - Robbie 6. Happy Now - Jason, Gary and Rob 7. Underground Machine - Robbie 8. What Do You Want From Me? - Mark 9. Affirmation - Howard and Jason 10. Eight Letters - ALL 5 Deary me - a lot of TT fans will not be happy with this at all. :o I have gone from planning to cherry pick the Rob tracks to now looking set to nearly having to download the entire album :lol: I've just read the Q Magazine interview - also the review Q have given 'Progress'. It is a glowing review - 4 stars is given. By the sounds of things it is a big departure from TT's usual, as Q describe "Magic FM-bothering balladry" - and some of the songs sound like they are going to be a bit more electro PSB Rudebox (album) but in a less experimental, more commercial type of way. In fact Q describe it as being "their Achtung Baby" (the classic U2 album for those who don't know and one of my top 5 fave albums in history) - it sounds from the review that Rob has had a big influence of the album as whole and not just with lyrics (speaking of which they mention one of Rob's lyrics from the song 'Pretty Things' - which I like - "I'm just a piece of your pie chart, your in a room with a rock star" ) I enjoyed how the reviewer finished off by saying the following. "The circle is complete and stronger than ever: Take That have got William's rock star charisma, Williams has got his mates back. It's been a journey, for sure."

I think fans of the others will be quite happy with the allocation and Rob fans should be delighted. If they sing a good proportion of songs from the album at the concerts ... then Rob is going to be featured most heavily. I think all those Rob fans who were debating whether to go ... may actually be competing for tickets tomorrow. I think I agree with what you say about Rob having a lot of input into the album - it does appear that Gary Barlow has stood back from this duty too. Someone ought to point out to Barlow that there is such a thing as delegating yourself out of a job! :lol: I've still not decided whether we're going to bother with tickets or not at all now. Although ... as Gary always said ... it was inevitable that Robbie would return and most people seem happy with it ... the excitement of supporting the underdog has now gone. Almost to the point that I'd love another underdog to beat them in the album race to number 1 now. Ah well ... I'm off to see Scouting for Girls next April! Kath
October 28, 201014 yr Hmmmm. If all this is true I'm rather surprised. :blink: Unless of course they are trying to maximise album sales in Europe by featuring Bob so prominently :unsure: The TT ladies at my work today weren't overly impressed when I said RW was going to have a solo slot at the concerts. 'We're going to see TT, not Robbie! We can't stand Robbie!' they shrieked. Oh well, $h!t happens... :lol:
October 28, 201014 yr 1. The Flood - Robbie and Gary 2. SOS - Robbie & Mark 3. Wait - Robbie 4. Kidz - Mark and Robbie 5. Pretty Things - Robbie 6. Happy Now - Jason, Gary and Rob 7. Underground Machine - Robbie 8. What Do You Want From Me? - Mark 9. Affirmation - Howard and Jason 10. Eight Letters - ALL 5 This era of TT has Robbie's marks all over it... :o It looks as if the whole album is going to be Robbie-oriented with Mark (probably the one matching best with Rob) stepping up as well. I feel TT fans won't like that change... they already complained there was too much Robbie on 'the Flood' where he shared vocals with Gary :lol: . (the lyrics are Robbie's thing on that song I have to admit that). If the reunion underperforms all blame will be on Robbie now, and that would kind of fair. -_- The tracklisting sounds interesting but I cannot really say anything until I listen to the songs.
