Deluxe Edition on google play has 6 bonus tracks (3 extra tracks to Cd deluxe) which are as follows;

 

16. Fall down at your feet

17. If it's not love

18. These days (Pitron & Sanna club mix)

Heard the song this morning and thought it was OK. Definitely better than The Flood. Gary's come up with a pretty good song.

 

 

I've just heard the song and have to say it didn't really stand out for me. I was expecting more to be honest and don't think its a great comeback single.

Its a little 1D-like but that's no bad thing is it?

Actually for me has a little bit of '90 sound about it. Me liking :blink: (Oh God, i start to get old if i begin to reminisce the '90 pop sound) . I might forget them for not releasing "Hold up a light" as a proper single (or maybe not, snifff).

 

For sure , it is not Shine and Rule the world either, no massive stand-alone song, but it is a nice, very nice invitation for me to hear the album.

I wouldn't compare it to 1D and they're a pile of poop anyway. Maybe it will grow on me after a few more listens but just felt a bit underwhelmed by the song on first listen. Its certainly not as good as patience or the flood.

I think it's excellent. Feedback online has been fantastic too

I like it but feel its a song that should be a third single,its underwhelming in comparison to rule the world,shine.the flood,patience etc. Its a grower though and i prefer it to greatest day,i love the circus album but greatest day doesnt really do it for me.

It would have been a nice 1D album track. I see they're following in the footsteps of the biggest boy band :kink:

I like These Days a lot. It's a very catchy, up-tempo, good mood song. I don't know about the song remdinding of 1D because I don't listen to them :P. I like the kind of disco feel the song has and the Nile Rodgers/Chic-sounding guitars that also Daft Punk/Pharrell Williams used in "Get Lucky".

 

Also, great artwork! So much better than the ugly artwork for Progress.

This is great (apart from the 'oh oh oh oh oh' outro - not a fan of that)! Fair play to them for experimenting with their formula so much and taking risks 20+ years into their career.

When the talent is there its easy to experiment,havin free reign also helps as many bands dont get that

The Flood remains their best comeback lead single for me. I'd put this 2nd. Pretty catchy for them. Still can't bear Gary though. Hope Mark will get more featured on the album.

These Days is great. Have high hopes for the album. :D

The Flood was a wonderful lead single, such an anthem that still sounds so fresh. These Days is simply catchy and strong.

If they were able to get a #1 with the single would they be the first in the UK to get one as a 5, 4 and 3? Their competition seems to be McBusted Air Guitar don't know about other single releases on 23rd.

 

They haven't learnt though about promo to release still. 6 weeks is a long time for a lead single from first airplay and by time of release most could be itching for something new but we'll see.

Avicii is also out the same day with new single, the days.

 

I cant see them going to number 1 id love it but top 5 is more realistic for me,they arent a singles act anymore or should i say they are not the force they once were in the singles market, instead they are an almighty force in the album chart which is better. Atop 5,hopefully a minimum top 20 follow up and a top 75 is likely how the singles will perform from the album. I do hope the label manage a good release strategy as the handling of their last few singles has been horrific.

I just hope it goes top ten, they definitely aren't a singles act any more though, The Flood was almost certainly their final huge single.

 

Avicii will probably chart higher, even though his song is really massively inferior and if there's any justice it won't be much of a hit at all (and this comes as somebody who had Avicii at No.1 in my end of year singles AND album chart last year).
