Three stand out tracks for me are 'Starlight' 'Beat of a breaking heart' and 'Amazing' there the only 3 songs i love the rest are ok tho, Regina is having a fanboy moment haha love it! :)

 

Understatement :P I have listened to nothing else all day :lol:

Will FINALLY be able to buy this tommorrow. My IMPORTANT THINGS worked out and I now have a full time job as a Secondary school Welsh teacher! This is my best week in ages!

Congrats on the job :D

 

Okay, so after 11 plays in 24 hours, I am madly in love with this album. My Top 5 are:

 

1. Walking On Water

2. Stars & Lovers

3. Starlight

4. Beat Of A Breaking Heart

5. Run For Your Life (:kink:)

 

The acoustic tracks are gorgeous, especially Letters, his voice is so emotional and fragile on it.

I'd be embarrassed to admit how often I've played it; but equally besotted. My top 5 are

 

1 Letters

2 Amazing

3 Faithless

4 Pull Me Under

5 Starlight

 

..............probably

 

Run For Your Life is turning into a right royal flop, down to #31 on iTunes and it's first week sales were even less than Ambitions. Still, I guess he was always destined to be an ''albums artiste''. Oh and by the way I gave it a spin, talk about coma inducing, his voice, the production, everything about it is so DULL and for the most part average at best. It did make me laugh though that he's all ''real music'' and then comes out with THAT album :lol:

does anyone have the mid week sales figures? - I have tried but I just don't understand this forum

its on the sunday chart predictions thread. All pre orders and mondays sales 28k

FINALLY got round to buying and listening to this. It's everything I wanted a Matt Cardle album to be. Strong songs with actual meanings to their lyrics, proper instruments being used and Matt's voice. No autotune, heavy beats and lifeless lyrics that sound trashy. It really is fantastic, and it's great to have the acoustic tracks. Matt should be really proud of this album.

omg! I might be going to the HMV album signing in Glasgow on Friday :wub: I can meet Matt.

I am like, 15% more gay than I wasthis morning, Matt is just so nommy in real life :wub:

 

I got my CD signed:http://oi53.tinypic.com/315d7w4.jpg

 

And also my copy of his book:http://oi56.tinypic.com/i42yrd.jpg

 

:wub: I also got a pic with him, but I aint posting that :P

Was he a generally nice guy or that monster the DS haters think he is?

I love his handwriting :lol:

 

And I was special enough to see the pic :wub: SO SO JEALOUS :(

He was such a lovely man, had a wee chat to everyone and happy posed for pictures and gave out hugs. He seemed a little bit shy and had no air of

pretentiousness or an ego about him. he is also smaller in real life than I though :lol:

 

I got to shake his hand, twice :heart:

Kind of regretting not going now seeing that, as I am very near but I just couldn't be bothered going to get a wristband as early as 8am, meaning I would have to get up at 7 or earlier, and as its my last proper day of my week break, I just couldn't cope with it :lol:

 

Glad you enjoyed yourself :kink:

I got up at 7 and arrived by 8 and even then there were loads of people lined up for the wristbands :lol: but I don't think all 400 went, I could be wrong though.

 

Oh I did :kink: I was tempted to ask for a hug but was way too nervous :lol:
