July 6, 201312 yr I haven't heard Burn yet but: 1 Figure 8 2 Guns And Horses 3 Starry Eyed 4 Anything Could Happen (I Need Your Love) 5 Lights (Wonderman) - 6 Explosions - 7 Your Song 8 Under The Sheets 9 The Writer The top 5 / 7 are flawless, 'Explosions' is also really good. The other 3 are pretty weak. 'Under The Sheets' might actually only just be growing on me now :lol:

July 6, 201312 yr I'd do a list of favourites, but i would probably just end up naming everything she's done.(except Your Song) Also, that cover is giving me cheap hooker vibes. Edited July 6, 201312 yr by #Toby

August 10, 201311 yr I've listened to that preview and on first impressions, I'm now blown away by many of the new tracks. Hopefully they will be growers. 'Stay Awake' is something special though.
August 13, 201311 yr 01. Lights 02. Figure 8 03. Burn 04. The Writer 05. Anything Could Happen 06. Guns & Horses 07. Explosions 08. Starry Eyed 09. Your Song 10. Under The Sheets Immaculate singles collection there. Ellie really does make amazing songs, however I would've done the Halcyon era like this: 01. Anything Could Happen 02. Figure 8 03. Explosions 04. My Blood 05. Only You 06. Hanging On Ft. Tinie Tempah *Re-Release* 01. Burn 02. Stay Awake (Unless there's something better). Done.

Its been a success and judging my the snippets on youtube and itunes it feels like halcyon (which is a masterpiece and my all time favourite album) has been tarnished by these new tracks which just dont sound right. I also never would have released explosions without the advert, it should have been my blood then only for summer single.
August 19, 201311 yr http://electraxheart.tumblr.com/post/58644588160 Flashlight ft. Dj Fresh This sounds amazing! Next single please! Edited August 19, 201311 yr by *Tim
August 20, 201311 yr The new tracks are so much more commercial/mainstream sounding than those on the original album. How Long Will I Love You is rather gorgeous though and Under Control and Flashlight are brilliant. She's much more of an albums act for me, I can't pinpoint a single song that she's done that's perfect to me (Figure 8 was damn close to it though) but she rarely slips below 8/10 standard with anything. Both albums, and their respective repackages are fantastic.
August 20, 201311 yr When I saw this title I thought she'd covered the Siobhan Donaghy song of the same name. Phew, panic averted.
August 21, 201311 yr Under Control available to download for free on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Under-Control/dp/B...HY%7CB00E2279AG
August 21, 201311 yr Author The new tracks are so much more commercial/mainstream sounding than those on the original album. How Long Will I Love You is rather gorgeous though and Under Control and Flashlight are brilliant. She's much more of an albums act for me, I can't pinpoint a single song that she's done that's perfect to me (Figure 8 was damn close to it though) but she rarely slips below 8/10 standard with anything. Both albums, and their respective repackages are fantastic. I'm worried about how commercial it is. Not to be one of those people who can't take their favourite artists going a tad more commercial (and Ellie has had pure pop tracks in the past, just look at 'Lights'), but the songs I've heard just seem to have so little of Ellie about them. I mean there's 'Burn', which she didn't even write, and then 'Flashlight' which is 'Hot Right Now' mark 2 until the chorus. It's such a drastic change from the standard album, and it's really not a direction I wish her to go further down. I'm fine with commercial Ellie as long as it feels like Ellie, but so far I don't think Halcyon Days does.
August 24, 201311 yr It was released in Ireland yesterday so I've downloaded it, the new songs really are fantastic. They're more commercial definitely and a step away from the main album but I think I'd choose to listen to the 10 new songs over the original album (although time will tell if it stays that way). Definitely loving Halcyon Days more than I did with Halcyon by this point. My favourites are Stay Awake and Hearts Without Chains :wub:
August 24, 201311 yr The re-release, just like the original album, is so hit & miss. I like Burn, Goodness Gracious, Under Control & Midas Touch but the rest are dire.
August 24, 201311 yr What with 'Burn' being #1 this week and possibly next week too, it looks like it has set 'Halcyon Days' up perfectly, hopefully the whole project will have a #1 to its name now. I am obsessed with 'Stay Awake' and I'd love for it to be the next single however I'm worried it will probably do a 'Figure 8' as all her second singles seem to underperform.
