November 1, 201212 yr I've now given the album about 8 listens (in full, more of some individual tracks of course ;)) so it's time for a rate: 08.5 Child Of The Universe 08.5 Touch 10.0 Wish You Were Here 09.0 Knocked Out 09.5 Sitting On Top Of The World 10.0 I'm Not Ready 08.5 Hunters and the Wolves 09.0 Dancing With A Broken Heart 08.0 Hynotized 08.5 Safe To Believe 08.0 The Speed of Life 11.0 War On Love :wub: 08.5 I Lost All Love 4 You 09.5 When My Stars Come Out 10.0 Control 09.5 Alcohol 09.0 No Communication Very loony ratings there. :lol:
November 1, 201212 yr Has the album been released in Japan yet? Just wondered if there was a Jap bonus track on the Cd.
November 4, 201212 yr Author The album debuts at #2 in Australia this week, held off by Taylor Swift's Red. Shame it's not a fourth chart topper but nevertheless, 10 years in the business and a five year break since the last album and she can still command two top five singles and a #2 album this era. Wish You Were Here drops from #5 to #16 this week though...
November 4, 201212 yr Awww, I'm really gutted she couldn't get that #1 album, but ah well, #2 is great and at least she was held off by another great album!
November 4, 201212 yr Author True, #2 is a strong debut, I'm just praying for a UK release now, I see no reason as to why Radio 2 at least wouldn't welcome her back without too much trouble. On a side note, I'm SO obsessed with this album that it's making me realise that the Delta album was even weaker than I'd thought. I really only still have any time for In This Life, Believe Again, Possessionless, You Will Only Break My Heart and Brave Face. The other tracks were varying shades of alright to average via complete and utter boredom. She's got her spark and personality back on this album, I'm not sure I've been this addicted to any album since Colbie Caillat's Coco over five years ago :o I still think that she massively missed a trick with the Delta era by leaving out Take Me Home, Fever and Breathe In, Breathe Out. I despair that Woman, Angels In The Room, The Guardian and One Day (I like the song but there's a b-side if ever I heard one!) made the cut over those tracks.
November 4, 201212 yr I'm not so sure, I think #2 is quite poor for Delta, not to mention it won't have any staying power and will plummet down the charts now.
November 4, 201212 yr If this gets a UK release I hope the singles go like this: 01 Sitting on Top of the World 02 Hunters and the Wolves or Knocked Out (also 4th aus single) -album- 03 Wish You Were Here 04 Dancing With a Broken Heart
November 4, 201212 yr Author I can't imagine they'll do anything more with Dancing With A Broken Heart, it was a commercial flop and reading the Delta Daily forum, most fans seem to think it's her worst single to date :o I wouldn't go that far, my Delta singles rank would be as follows; Believe Again (Favourite) Innocent Eyes Born To Try Mistaken Identity Not Me, Not I Wish You Were Here Out Of The Blue Be Strong Predictable Sitting On Top Of The World Lost Without You Almost Here In This Life Together We Are One Dancing With A Broken Heart Flawed I Don't Care A Little Too Late You Will Only Break My Heart I Can't Break It To My Heart (Least Favourite) Although to be fair, everything from Flawed upwards is a 9/10+ for me! :lol: I Can't Break It To My Heart is maybe a 7.5/10, I actually prefer Katherine Jenkins cover!
November 4, 201212 yr Dancing With A Broken Heart was weaker than I initiall thought, looking back now. It's good but should never have been a single that's for sure! 11/10 Believe Again 10/10 Born To Try Predictable Innocent Eyes Mistaken Identity I Can't Break It To My Heart Not Me, Not I 9.5/10 Sitting On Top Of The World Out Of The Blue Wish You Were Here 9/10 Lost Without You In This Life Flawed 8/10 You Will Only Break My Heart Almost Here Be Strong 7.5/10 Together We Are One Dancing With A Broken Heart I Don't Care 7/10 A LIttle Too Late She has a VERY strong singles catalogue :o
November 4, 201212 yr Author Yeah, DWABH dropped out of my chart very quickly, somewhere in there lies a great song, as highlighted by the acoustic version, but I'm not sure that they know what to do with it production wise. Neither the single or album version feel quite right somehow. It's from a strong album packed full of potential singles so I'm not entirely sure why it was chosen. Take Me Home does the same sound far more effectively and was only a b-side!
November 4, 201212 yr Ooh, this is tough! I Can't Break It To My Heart :wub: :wub: :wub: Mistaken Identity Together We Are One In This Life Wish You Were Here Flawed Be Strong Believe Again Innocent Eyes Born To Try Sitting On Top Of The World Out Of The Blue Almost Here Dancing With A Broken Heart You Will Only Break My Heart Predictable Lost Without You A Little Too Late Not Me, Not I I Don't Care That was REALLY tough. Everything from Lost Without You upwards is a 9/10 at minimum, with all being above 8/10.
November 4, 201212 yr Just me that ADORES 'I Don't Care', then? :( Oh I love it, but it's just not as good as the rest of her singles for me. Can't beat a bit of bubblegum pop though. :wub:
November 6, 201212 yr Author This is the song that the production on Dancing With A Broken Heart reminds me of. Two semi-hit wonder, Sophie B Hawkins. Sounding like something from 1994 was never going to be a good move commercially for Delta and it sticks out like a sore thumb on the album with the electro production against a sea of ballads and guitars.

November 13, 201212 yr Author Album only down one place to #3 in its second week in Australia, hopefully it can be a decent Xmas seller!
November 13, 201212 yr Only dropping just 1 place and fending off competition like Robbie Williams is amazing!! And already Gold - if this can keep performing strongly then hopefully it can go platinum in the next few weeks fingers crossed.
November 13, 201212 yr Only dropping just 1 place and fending off competition like Robbie Williams is amazing!! And already Gold - if this can keep performing strongly then hopefully it can go platinum in the next few weeks fingers crossed. Considering Robbie charted below Delta and is already Gold in his first week, Delta being in her second week must be very close to platinum, might even get it next week.
November 14, 201212 yr That's fantastic to see it hanging around! Looking to have some great sales over Christmas. :D
