January 28, 201510 yr Also, Camilla must have the most horrible tone in all girlgroups that has ever existed. THIS. I find her vocals so irritating, not a patch on the beautiful Dinah's! :wub: EDIT: Based on first listen not impressed - the album is quite the same in places but the standouts would be Sledgehammer, BO$$, Worth It & Reflection. Second edit: And We Know, LOVE it! :heart: Edited January 28, 201510 yr by Sean.
January 28, 201510 yr WHAT is this version of Reflection?! The live performance and the live instrumental on that make the song sound SO much bigger than it is. The album version is terrible.. sounds like they did the instrumental themselves on garageband. Edited January 28, 201510 yr by Scherz
January 28, 201510 yr I agree that the songs we've heard so far are about the best... It's not a terrible album or anything but it's just quite average and not produced that well at all. You'd think it was indepedent and they couldn't afford decent producers, this is supposed to be the first album from a huge new girlband and they have Simon Cowell behind them!

You'd think it was indepedent and they couldn't afford decent producers, this is supposed to be the first album from a huge new girlband and they have Simon Cowell behind them! It's such a disappointment on so many levels from the artwork to the production to the tracks and I mean, there's not even a proper ballad on there :cry:
January 28, 201510 yr The album is ok there are some good songs on their, excluding the singles I like Worth it, Reflection, We Know, Going Nowhere and Top Down the most but the album is not as good as I was expecting it to be overall. Also the live versions of Reflection and Going Nowhere are SO much better than the studio version's 37cxqNLOrsQ V2W1XpE0sYc Edited January 28, 201510 yr by troylovesmusic
January 29, 201510 yr After listening to the full album, I have to say I'm so disappointed. When I was reading your reviews about the production being bad, I didn't think much of it because most criticised the production on 'Living For The Weekend' but this is laughable! There are about 6 songs that use the same faux urban/DJ Mustard beats & drops. It's painfully bad. You can hear the difference in quality on the tracks by bigger producers, they sound alive. I was hoping for an album full of 'Sledgehammer' x10 but it's not happening for me :( I only like 'Sledgehammer' & 'Brave Honest Beautiful'. Why the latter is the last track is a mystery. Considering this was pushed back what seems around 15 times, it's scary to think that this is all they've come up with when they've had time to better it. Edited January 29, 201510 yr by Scherz
January 29, 201510 yr Tracks I Love: (should be singles) Boss Sledgehammer Worth It This Is How We Roll (want this as next full single) Like Mariah Going Nowhere Brave Honest Beautiful Tracks I Like: Everlasting Love Reflection Suga Mama Body Rock Tracks that make me go "meh!" Top Down Them Girls Be Like We Know

Second edit: And We Know, LOVE it! :heart: Dinah is their best singer, yet I've think the only time I've heard her before listening to the album was on 'Worth It', on the other hand, Camilla sings about 85% of their discography and she is the weakest singer in the group > her falsetto isn't good, she barely has an headvoice, her vibrato makes me like Jesy (Little Mix), and her tone is just plain down annoying (but, fair enough, that's subjective...) On the other hand, I always thought Dinah had a really pretty tone. I'd give you that, Camilla definitely has a very distinctive voice (because of all that off-key singing, mostly, but whatever...) whereas I feel like the other four blend far too much with eachother. Not enough differences. With that in mind, I guess it makes sense to have her on the lead...but her contribution sometimes is just far too much. That being said, I've been BOPING to 'Top Down' since yesterday. :cheer:

January 30, 201510 yr Come on Sean., We Know is boring, unoriginal lyrics "I won't believe you this time but I will always have feelings for you, woahoahhh! Now let's repeat we know, we know, we know what an arsehole you really are." Said every woman or girlgroup who had an album ever.
January 30, 201510 yr Come on Sean., We Know is boring, unoriginal lyrics "I won't believe you this time but I will always have feelings for you, woahoahhh! Now let's repeat we know, we know, we know what an arsehole you really are." Said every woman or girlgroup who had an album ever. But Lauren and even Camila's parts are SO catchy!
January 30, 201510 yr I have to disagree with all the posts and I think Camilla has the best voice of the group. It's very unique and distinctive! :wub:
January 30, 201510 yr Dinah is definitely the best singer and I'm baffled why she never gets any solos.
January 30, 201510 yr Would you guys post some predictions for the album in my US Reflection thread in the International Forum. Thanks :)
January 31, 201510 yr Definitely not getting a lot of the criticism of this album, I think it's a really strong debut! They clearly know what sound they're going for and it makes for a mostly great album. The first half especially is ON POINT. Best debut ever? No, not even close, but it's enjoyable nonetheless and I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would!
January 31, 201510 yr Worth It is the only song which sounds like a smash (other than Bo$$ and Sledgehammer).
