September 15, 201113 yr Author I love the album, definitely one of the best of the year on first listens. :wub: 'Lego House', 'The City' and 'Give Me Love' are my favourite at the moment.
September 17, 201113 yr A few listens in.... 10 The A Team 10 Drunk 07 U.N.I. 09.5 Grade 8 09 Wake Me Up 08 Small Bump 07 This 09.5 The City 09 Lego House 10 You Need Me, I Don't Need You 06 Kiss Me 06 Give Me Love 06.5 The Parting Glass (hidden) ---------------------------- 06 Autumn Leaves 08 Little Bird 07.5 Gold Rush 06 Sunburn
September 17, 201113 yr For me; 11.0 The A Team 08.5 Drunk 08.5 U.N.I. 09.0 Grade 8 07.0 Wake Me Up - The corny 'Match.com advert' type lyrics are offputting but it's better than average musically 09.5 Small Bump 07.0 This 09.5 The City - This was on Loose Change but a far inferior version, the version on here is immense 09.5 Lego House 10.0 You Need Me, I Don't Need You 07.5 Kiss Me 08.5 Give Me Love - This would be GREAT (a 9.5) if not for the 'Love me' shouting he does at the end, it's rather cringeworthy to listen to actually 07.0 The Parting Glass (hidden) ---------------------------- 08.0 Autumn Leaves 09.0 Little Bird 08.0 Gold Rush 07.0 Sunburn It's a really strong debut but my favourites by far are the two singles, The City, Small Bump, Lego House and the first few minutes of Give Me Love pre-outburst. Would have preferred to see This and Sunburn replaced with updated versions of Sofa and One Night.
September 17, 201113 yr Oh this album is definitely a grower. The City, Lego House, and the two singles are my favourites so far. Especially the full version of You Need Me, can't stop listening to that. The version I had before didn't have the last bit. 10.0 The A Team 09.0 Drunk 07.5 U.N.I. 07 Grade 8 06 Wake Me Up 07 Small Bump 08 This 09.5 The City 09.5 Lego House 11.0 You Need Me, I Don't Need You 09 Kiss Me 08.5 Give Me Love 07.5 The Parting Glass I only have the standard version. Tracks with ?? are ones I haven't listened to enough yet to 'get' their identity (Translation: I can't remember anything about them from one listen :P). But a very strong album from the ones I can pick out. I'll update when I have. EDIT: In case anyone reads this, I've updated it. Didn't feel a new post. Just put this here so that the thread makes sense.
September 17, 201113 yr So what is the point in rating it then? Any normal person would get used to the tracks before rating them.
September 17, 201113 yr So what is the point in rating it then? Any normal person would get used to the tracks before rating them. This is an early rate. I tend to get through the tracks, see which ones I like, and listen to the ones that jump out. The others I listen to later. I'm just rating now because I feel like it. And I feel like showing the love for the proper amazing tracks. :D Like I said, I'll do a proper rate later.
September 17, 201113 yr Oh my, is there Regina/Eyes tension that I haven't picked up on? :o My rate: 06 The A Team ?? Drunk ?? U.N.I. ?? Grade 8 ?? Wake Me Up ?? Small Bump ?? This ?? The City ?? Lego House 08 You Need Me, I Don't Need You ?? Kiss Me ?? Give Me Love ?? The Parting Glass (Actually haven't listened to any of the ??s at all yet)
September 17, 201113 yr Oh my, is there Regina/Eyes tension that I haven't picked up on? :o :lol: No.
September 17, 201113 yr Just a slight jab, I think. :lol: Nothing else behind it. Not that I know of.
September 18, 201113 yr Am actually listening to this properly now, I don't hate it but I'm not as fond as some of you are. Wake Me Up and Small Bump seemed particularly awful but some of the others have been quite good so I'll certainly not write it off quite yet... In general I'd say I prefer him when he sounds a bit more like Jason Mraz. I liked U.N.I. more when I didn't know the title. edit: Oh, Give Me Love is rather great from 3.50ish onwards isn't it?
September 22, 201113 yr Proper rate: 06 The A Team 05 Drunk 02 U.N.I. 05 Grade 8 00 Wake Me Up 03 Small Bump 04 This 07 The City 06 Lego House 08 You Need Me, I Don't Need You 06 Kiss Me 08 Give Me Love 05 The Parting Glass
October 2, 201113 yr I don't like this at all. It sounds very dull to me and none of the songs stick with me. He has a good voice, I watched him sing (a weird version of) the traditional Wayfaring Stranger on Youtube (I'm biased of course, Emmylou just does it so good). But his songs really fall through.
October 16, 201113 yr Apparently Rupert Grint's in the video for Lego House, there's a picture of them together in the same clothes... http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01391/SNF15BIZZ---532n_1391711a.jpg He really plays on the fact that he's ginger a lot doesn't he! :lol:
October 20, 201113 yr Why did Ed not just play himself? :( I find him so attractive it's unreal! Good video though!
October 29, 201113 yr You find him ATTRACTIVE!?! Why has no one questioned the insanity of this statement yet? I genuinely can't look at him. He looks the type to have disturbing files on his computer drive. The big weirdo. As much as I desperately want to dislike him, I found myself absolutely loving 'Lego House' today. Didn't think much of it when listening to the album (which I generally found a bit bland).
