October 31, 20177 yr Listening party is happening at 9am on Friday on Radio 1. Sam's going to be on the Breakfast Show choosing his favourite tracks from the album.
November 3, 20177 yr One Last Song has got to be a contender for one of the worst songs of the year. In your opinion... Such a negative soul. This is the second comment today I've seen from you slating Sam you saddo. :lol: Loving the album so far. Hoping it smashes!!! :wub: Edited November 3, 20177 yr by Dane
November 3, 20177 yr Its ironic that it is called 'The Thrill Of It All' when Sam Smith's style of music I am sure most of us will agree being mostly easy listening and gentle you would really describe as 'thrilling'!
November 3, 20177 yr I think most of Buzzjack will rather call Sam Smith's music hard listening because it's hard to listen too :basil: (I need to hear the album as I personally loved his debut)
November 3, 20177 yr I loved his debut album but I wasn't impressed by anything that was available pre-album release. Listening to the New Music Friday playlist on Spotify though, 'No Peace' with YEBBA is really, really good! Gives me a glimmer of hope there will be a couple of other gems on the album.
November 3, 20177 yr In your opinion... Such a negative soul. This is the second comment today I've seen from you slating Sam you saddo. :lol: I wouldn't call myself a saddo for holding the same opinion as most of Buzzjack, it's not that much of a big deal lol ;o
November 3, 20177 yr Author Sam in general gets far too much hate for one silly mistake in an acceptance speech and singing about his heartbreak and relationship, how dare he. That aside, this is a pleasant listen. It feels very different to his debut aside one or two tracks (see below) but here is my initial first listen: 08 Too Good At Goodbyes: this one has really grown on me since it's release. 06 Say It First: I love the lyrics in this and sounds pretty different from ITLH in terms of production and feels very stripped back but the tone feels familiar 07 One Last Song: So very Amy Winehouse. Glad hes got at least one song so far that is very different to his previous sound 04 Midnight Train: Can see this growing but pretty snoozy on first listen 08 Burning: I love this! That piano is beautiful...even if it is a song about him smoking :lol: 09 Him: fantastic. That beat, the choir, the sentiment, brilliant 07 Baby, You Make Me Crazy: lovely listen, again another self explanatory title 08 No Peace (Featuring YEBBA): This one is interesting after the documentary hearng Abbey talk about it and the inspiration behind it for her and how it came to be written 05 Palace: Pretty similar to Midnight Train but probably feels like the most ITLH track out of the ones so far? 08 Pray: Similar to Him, love the choir too 04 Nothing Left For You: Pretty boring to be honest which ruins the decent run since Burning 05 The Thrill Of It All: pleasant to listen to but definitely wanted more 07 Scars: strings intro :wub: feels very acoustic and natural 05 One Day At A Day: similar to the title track
November 3, 20177 yr Nah. His voice his horrendously whiny and a bit too much for me, personally. The acceptance speech thing is just amusing! Edit: oh and I find the album just as bland and basic as RagNBone Man's tbh. :( (I say this as someone who actually thought his debut was decent, for the most part) 'Like I Can' remains his absolute best for me!
November 4, 20177 yr ^ :rofl: With slight trepidation, I'll give his new album a go soon. Lol at how he's described it "(like) having sex with your sadness" :drama:
November 4, 20177 yr shouldn't radiohead be credited on Midnight train, it's the most blatant Creep rip-off I've ever heard, the start is identical, the same chords thru the song come on Thom, go sue him!!!!!!!
November 4, 20177 yr Sam in general gets far too much hate for one silly mistake in an acceptance speech and singing about his heartbreak and relationship, how dare he. I don’t think that’s the reason. I think it’s that his voice is so whiny! And his diction is awful.
November 4, 20177 yr Out of album tracks I really like No Peace, Say It First and Nothing Left For You oh and Scars!
November 4, 20177 yr Suprise this hasn’t been posted but his Carpool Karaoke came out this week. It featured Fifth Harmony at the end . z2FHKVzGhgA
November 5, 20177 yr I think this is a great follow up to his first album - I really like Sam and don't understand the hate he gets on here. Looking forward to seeing him at the 02 next year.
