I bought the album on Monday but still haven't had time to listen yet but from what I have heard:

 

xx 01. Faith

09 02. Under Control (feat. Alesso & Hurts)

09 03. Blame (feat. John Newman)

xx 04. Love Now (feat. All About She)

08 05. Slow Acid

10 06. Outside (feat. Ellie Goulding)

xx 07. It Was You (feat. Firebeatz)

08 08. Summer

xx 09. Overdrive (feat. Ummet Ozcan)

xx 10. Ecstasy (feat. Hurts)

11 11. Pray to God (feat. Haim)

07 12. Open Wide (feat. Big Sean)

xx 13. Together (feat. Gwen Stefani)

xx 14. Burnin (feat. R3hab)

xx 15. Dollar Signs (feat. Tinashe)

 

Lyrically, Open Wide is the worst thing I've heard on this album. I think I would've rather seen CUBA on the album

I'll try and do this tomorrow. I want to give the album another listen before I rate. :)

Pray to God is clearly the album highlight - sounds very different for Calvin! Hate the cheesy interludes like Slow Acid etc!

 

Open Wide is clearly the Drinking from the Bottle moment of the album

Edited November 23, 201410 yr by steve201

Slow Acid is not a cheesy interlude :angry: :lol:

 

seriously though that's one of my faves on the album, and I wouldn't call it an interlude myself as it's a full-length track

Completely agree! It's my third favourite after Blame and Summer. I love that it was included on the album. Very Da Funk imo and I love Da Funk.

I'll be baffled if Pray To God doesn't win, it's clearly leagues above the rest of the songs in my opinion.

I'll do results for this in a week so you have until then to make your rates count~
