Apart from the soggy middle and the horrendous 'Fish Out Of Water', it's a pretty good album! I would've said I was under-whelming if it hadn't been for the last two tracks! :wub: Say It Out Loud is another of my favourites which seems to be going under the radar on here.

#17 début this week! I'm so pleased that she managed to stay top 20, and hopefully the sales will be strong(ish, at least; all album sales are pretty poor overall unfortunately.)

Not bad - I expecting it to fall out of the top 20 tbh. I doubt sales will be too good though unfortunately :(

Im delighted it stayed top 20, i had a fear it would drop out and land at #21 today, i would say sales will be 7,000 maximum, but least she has a top 20 album to her name now no matter what happens, she is only the 2nd member to manage that so far so well done to her.

I've never been a huge Nicola fan but holy moly. This is eaaaasily the best thing to come from Girls Aloud or anything related to them. It's so mature aswell, and it's sad she's not selling millions because the album isr eally special. Porcelain Heart I'm bored of, hence the low score and I is a bit meh, but asides from those two I'm in actual awe. This is gonna go down as one of my favourite albums ever I think.

 

Over the moon with the album being #17 so glad its top 20. Hope it can at least manage a 2nd week in the Top 40.

Top 20 for the album is much better than I was expecting, I'm so glad. I hope it doesn't do a Lucky Day and bomb out of the charts next week.

 

I've just got this and will endeavour to listen to it asap. I really like the stuff I've heard so far - if the album's good I might be on my way to becoming a bit of a NicRob stan.

This definitely outperformed my expectations, well done to her!

It sold 8,473 in its opening week, this is slightkly higher than i expected as i thought 7.5 at maximum so its good it sold better, my only worry is will the album plummet this week, i have a feeling it wont be even top 40, so i guess if it managed to stay top 40 this week it would out do my expectations for yet another week.

Took AGES for this to click with me! At first I thought omg it's really really bad, her voice grates and it's all self pity rubbish, I didn't go to the Liverpool signing because I hated it that much :-( My friend made me keep listening and thank god I did! While I can't see me ever liking Everybody's (Baby D was far better!), Fish Out Of Water (wth?), and i (jesus!); some are amazing, esp Gladiator, Say It Out Loud, and Yo-yo :-)

 

SO pleased, she was always my fave I was obsessed with her. It's my least fave GA related album though :-(

Even taking into account Messy Little Raindrops?! :o

I don't get the lack of love for "Fish out of water", it's probably my favourite track on the album after the two first singles ! :wub:

Say It Out Loud is another of my favourites which seems to be going under the radar on here.

 

Completely agree, 'Say It Out Loud' seems to be getting reasonably low scores on here compared to the rest of the album, when its one of the best for me. I love the instrumental just before the last chorus, so gorgeous.

Those intro 'noises' are enough to make my ears fall off, the rest of the track is painfully boring and is the only song on the album I HAVE to skip :(

It's really feel good and I love the lyrics in it! Where's the credit people?!

SIOL is one of myyy favourites <33

Going through my first listen of the album now.

I've not made up my mind about 'I'. I honestly don't know if I like it or not... Maybe with more listens I can form some sort of opinion. All in all though, it's a decent album. My favourite is 'Say It Out Loud'. 'Sticks + Stones' is very nice and I can see it growing for a little while. I'm not going to hammer this album though, I feel her voice will grate on me alot if I did. But right now, it's a strong debut album.

Its out of the top 40 in the first set of midweeks, i had hoped it would scrape a 2nd week top 40, i hope it manages to stay top 50.

Is that even possible? 17-OUT?

Regardless if it is out - she still made it top 20 =] I hope there is a 3rd single which will finally get the public on to this! I still need to buy the album - not had time.
