:o Does it let you order from German Amazon to deliver to the UK? I might not be able to resist this!

It does, I just logged into Amazon.de like I would to my UK account :D

I've ordered it! I feel very German when it says I am from "Vereinigtes Königreich" :kink:

I love the previews! :o

Must give this a listen 😮

A fantastic cover of 'Take Me To Church'! :o

 

I may have to buy this album physically if I can find it as I'm in Germany with work all next week. I hope I can track down some sort of music shop.

This is now available to listen to in full, I've just listened to two so far - 'The Girl' and 'All Kinds of Crazy' - and both are stunning. Listening to the rest now and can't wait for my CD to arrive next week hopefully! :wub:

Just got onto 'All Kinds of Crazy' again, it's sensational! :wub:

I'm gonna give this a listen soon actually, Traffic Lights is just brilliant <3 As much as it is a total Ellie Goulding clone.

Where? :o

Listened to this in full twice now and I'm totally blown away, gorgeous album! A few duds (not a fan of 'Sleep Now', dislike 'Catapult' and am iffy on 'Lifeline') but so many highs. 'The Girl' is stunning and a perfect opener, 'Crystal Sky' is fabulously creepy and 'Invisible' is so incredibly devastating - that chorus is Earth-shattering. 'In The Light' is gorgeous as well, as are the two tracks we heard prior to the album's release. Basically everything except the songs I mentioned not being a fan of is really really good.

 

It's so much more personal/open than Stardust was and the production is never short of amazing either. And on another note I wouldn't say the similarities to Halcyon are particularly striking. I can see it for 'Traffic Lights' but the comparison didn't come to me while listening to the album at all, especially when songs like 'Crystal Sky' can so easily be related back to 'Taken By A Stranger'.

 

Would recommend everyone take a listen!!

My box arrived today! It's quite cool - the box itself is really well-made, the booklet is quite good (+ notebook: two different ways to read the lyrics of the album, your faves could never) and the signed Lena photo was a nice surprise. The DVD thing

has 3 videos - 'Traffic Lights', 'Catapult' and 'Home'. I'm assuming that doesn't say "these are our three singles" because the latter two were very low budget. 'Catapult' makes me cringe so much still, what a terrible rapper.

Overall I'm calling this a successful impulse buy.

Ooh I'm excited, mine hasn't arrived yet! It says on Amazon my estimated delivery date is Wednesday, I don't know if yours was the same, but maybe it'll come tomorrow - we'll see :D

My box set just arrived, so gorgeous! Especially love the handwritten lyrics book and the signed autograph of course! Those square things, is one of them a sticker and one of them a coaster?

 

Can't wait to listen to the CD and watch the DVD!

This is fabulous. The Girl is stunning. Beat to My Melody is amazing. The first half is by far the best half but Home is an amazing closer.

I bought this on CD in Media Markt yesterday, really good album, love the Little Simz collab and We Roam!

I think you're right @ the square things. For a while however I was convinced that the coaster was a fridge magnet!

For me 'Catapult' is unlistenable. Largely I think it's OK but the rap turns it from "this is pretty nice" to "why Lena, why would you let this woman on your song?". The woman cannot rap.

My favourite songs are Keep on Living and We Roam. It's a solid record in general, but I think she sounds too much like Ellie Goulding.

it is how ellie should sound.
