Don't get me wrong, I adore Puppet, I just prefer Died In Your Eyes.

So do I and I'm sure it will, with Ego 2nd and Died In Your Eyes 3rd thanks to my valiant efforts :P

I'm not very fond of Ego though. Sounds like a Disney-Pop track to me... :(

I love it, I think it's very much a Saturdays track too. They are generally quite faceless but I don't think Ego would have sounded as good had it not been recorded by them.

Fair enough, and I've warmed up quite much to it ever since, but I still think it's quite overrated and not-really-up-to-their-standards.

But then again, so was all of Wordshaker...

I think Wordshaker is a good, but patchy album that's too heavy on the generic plodding ballads wheras the best tracks on it are the uptempos.

I thought it was a big stepdown from Chasing Lights. To think they were fighting with Kelly Clarkson for "Forever Is Over"... It says quite a lot about the consistency of their sound regarding both albums...

Oh it is a massive step down from Chasing Lights. It's a very good collection of songs, not really much cohesion, but when the tunes are that good that doesn't really matter. They really needed to compound that sound on Wordshaker and release One Shot/Wordshaker/Lose Control/Ego style songs as singles.

It's just that those same songs sound so much weaker when compared with the Chasing Lights singles.

When I first started to listen to Up or even If This is Love, there was a freshness to it, like they were doing something new. With Wordshaker however, I'd put them on the same list as Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, it just was such a step down from being relevant to being a desperate girlband... :(

I think One Shot, Lose Control, Ego and Wordshaker are just as strong as the singles released from Chasing Lights. They sound like a natural progression of that sound. It wasn't meant to be though and the mismanagement of them really started then.

It didn't sound like a progression to me at all, hence my general discontentment with that era.

I do like a few tracks, but like you said it just wasn't meant to be.

Fortunatly they moved to this one quickly and released one of their best singles so far. Shame they churned out Missing You first.

I have had issues with all of their lead singles so far, If This Is Love is too reliant on the sample, Forever Is Over is a cheap Kelly Clarkson aping mess and Missing You is just rubbish. Notorious is the best of the lot, but even then it's not what they should be doing.

True.

I do like If This Is Love, even if it relies too much of the sample.

And I have a soft spot for Forever Is Over, it's those big notes and howls all over the place - love to sing to it every once in a while.

But Missing You was just... meh. A bit pile of meh.

 

Notorious though is my favourite! I love it too bits, though it's growing older now... I need a new single.

They do need to get the new single out there ASAP.

They do yeah. It baffles me how Notorious wasn't that big of a track for them.

Hope they continue the trend of best 2nd singles.

It's difficult to say why it didn't take off, but I certainly think a large part of the blame lies with OA/OS.
