As much as i love progress i also dont think its the best work take that has done, well for me anyhow the circus is far above it, progress is a strong album and its different from what both usually do and while its better than a fe wof take thats albums i think overall i would rank it 3rd behind the circus and beautiful world. I havnt bought many of robbies albums apart from escapeology and his first greatest hits so i cant make comparisions.

 

 

I do not possess BW or Circus so definatetly cannot compare & nor do I even want to ..did they not write progress with the intention of not making it sound like anything that TT or RW had ever done before :mellow:

The Circus wasn't that great to be honest. I think they were going for a 'concept' album but ended up (apart from four songs) with a bit of a mess. I'm surprised that the Tour was as excellent as it was given that the album was the basis for it ... but it is probably the best show I've ever seen. Beautiful World on the other hand was an excellent album in its own right without need of a tour (which incidentally is probably the second best show I've ever seen) filled with some knock-out songs. My only wonder about it is why they even included IWFL on it ... let alone release it onto the singles market.

 

I think the Progress Tour is going to be a good show ... but it could be remembered for being a distinctly two-part show. One show with two headline acts ... Robbie Williams and Take That. For me ... the album is very good ... but visually - no way do they convince that they are 'one group'. But as long as the money rolls in from it ... I'm sure they're all very happy.

Nope ... it will be a two-part show. I don't have to show a united front ... I'm not going! :lol: But ... I can imagine the headlines the day after the first show. The papers are already referring to Take That as Robbie and his band ... and I have to be honest ... from the live performances so far ... he does shine far brighter than the others who, quite frankly, look quite dull ... even though three of them have better voices than Rob.

I dont know if im blind or reading articles wrong but i have to say most reviews i have read are 50/50 and do not all suggest its robbie and his band, if anything i have read how comfortable robbie looks been part of a group and he looks more secure. That aside robbie was and is the best showman of the 5 and always has been but on a talent basis he isnt the most talented of the 5 lyrically or vocally but when you put that whole mix together i think its working very well. I think for many its easy to say its robbie and his band etc but for me there is no denying their is chemistry in the performances by them as a 5 piece. Again i can see why robbie is quite prominent this time round, leaving aside robbie is a a huge star in his own right the whole issue with robbie and gary first time round was robbie felt he was a backing singer for gary and thats where many of the issues first time round came from, this time they have sorted out that problem out, and while robbie is prominent in my opinion its not like he has dominated all the osngs on progress, and i have always disagreed the flood is like a robbie song as garys parts in the song are just as big as robbies.

Robbie looks more secure :blink: ...for Gawds' sake he is nearly 37 years old & if he has not learnt to look after himself by now then he never will......Anyway I think Robbie loves all the attention & drama & he now has a lovely wife to look after him so he should get on with it ;)

 

TBH I am bolue in the face from reading the 50/50's v GBvRW...TT v RW & anything else to do with Take That ...I am sick of the whole lot ...who gives a damn about who is coming out tops & who is better than who ... <_<

I agree with this, i have been saying for ages lets enjoy it while it lasts for hwoever long or short that will be, regardless of who;s who or whats what we as fans of music got a great album on the back of it and thats the main thing for us.

#15 in Ireland this week down 6 places.

#26 in the UK this week down 12 places, sales should be in or around 440,000 now.

Number 26 in the Uk this week down 12 places, sales should be in or around 440,000 in total now.

#19 in Ireland this week, its one of take that and robbies longest chart run in the top 20 here.

Week 11 and the flood drops 10 place sto #36 this week, should roughly net somewhere between 8,000-10,000 from that position bringing total sales nicely to the 440,000 mark.. i think around 475,000 will be its total sales when it leaves the top 75 but long term i think it will eventually manage 500,000.
