May 31, 20169 yr Giving it endless listens and this is certainly more cohesive and stronger as a whole than their debut, much more mature although the production overrides the lyrical quality in a lot of places. -That's My Girl, Work From Home, I Lied and No Way are all 8+/10 and it's understandable to see why the first two were/are soon to be made singles. -All in My Head (Flex), Scared of Happy, The Life, Write on Me and Squeeze are all minor highlights and have a deserved place on the album as strong girlband album tracks -Whilst the majority of the album works, it does bare very weak tracks: Not That Kinda Girl, Dope and Gonna Get Better along with the Worth It (No Rap) bonus track which adds nothing really, standing out marginally from the rest of the album. Big Bad Wolf and 1000 Hands could have easily taken their places although GGB is becoming better with each listen, so it's possibly a slow-builder. Ideal Singles Run: 1. Work From Home 2. All in My Head (Flex) 3. That's My Girl 4. I Lied 5. Scared of Happy Edited May 31, 20169 yr by Mackenzie
June 1, 20169 yr I agree, Not That Kind of Girl is a stormer! I love Gonna Get Better too. It's not a single ofc, but it's nice for what it is.
June 3, 20169 yr Am I alone in not really feeling Gonna Get Better? :huh: No, it's the only dud on the album for me! Squeeze has grown on me but Gonna Get Better is a bit 'by numbers' and not exciting. Still, 11/12 is a fantastic showing, what an album :wub:
June 18, 20169 yr I'm really gonna need a Big Bad Wolf release with an epic video, for me it's my favorite album track and it's not even on the main or deluxe album. Imagine the video though... it would be a hit too, it's catchy!

July 8, 20169 yr 11.0 Work From Home 10.0 That's My Girl 10.0 The Life 09.5 Write On Me 08.5 All In My Head (Flex) - 07.5 Not That Kinda Girl - 06.5 Squeeze 06.5 No Way 06.5 I Lied 06.0 Scared Of Happy 05.0 Dope 05.0 Gonna Get Better For me it's an album of incredible highs but a lot of mediocrity. It sounds to me like a lot of money were spent on the writing and production of the better ones and the rest are just like "that'll do"

July 17, 20169 yr An exclusive bonus track on the Napster version ( :drama: ) of the album: sAxcUIZzVdU
July 17, 20169 yr Author An exclusive bonus track on the Napster version ( :drama: ) of the album: sAxcUIZzVdU This was doing rounds on Twitter yesterday with the assumption it was for a re-release!
July 17, 20169 yr LOVE that song why would they not it on the album ? it's better than a few songs that made the album !
July 17, 20169 yr 'Voicemail' is fab I can see why it's not on the album though, it sounds more 'Reflection' era than '7/27'. It kind of reminds me of Meghan's 'NO' in the way it sounds very early 00's but it is ever the more wonderful for it.
July 18, 20169 yr So you're telling me Voicemail and Big Bad Wolf exist and are better than half of the stuff on the album, but are just random bonus tracks. NO! They need to release a proper re release with these tracks included, they probably have a couple of potential smash hits laying around somewhere.
