And from the TT website! You can get both CDs (one will be signed) for £4.99 on their website

HMV have a similar offer. I'm glad they are trying to push the boat out more with this era as we got no new b sides from the last era.

Surprising that there's a month gap between the single and the album though...

Im loving the news on the cd single release, i want the live songs,i hope this is a sign they are going to push this era. With Three not selling near as well as expected based on previous album sales maybe they know they will have to put more effort in this time with promotion.

 

I must order my cd singles now.

There is very little hype/build up to the new single, i am worried, as with a lead single there should be more excitement at this late stage.

I just pre-ordered both Giants singles, I really hope it's a good track!

 

I think it's worth the money for the live tracks and b-side too though, and the novelty of getting a physical single again.

The cd single format is wonderful. My query is where the live versions are from, usually it states live from.....

The Hyde Park gig last summer apparently.

Yep! Relight my fire, Cry and something else (can't remember!)

 

1 day till we hear the single! Apparently it's a Gary vocal

Rule The World is the other live track.

 

Apparently the album is a return to the 'classic' Take That sound. So presumably less electronic than the last two albums but I'm not expecting it to be as acoustic/chilled as Beautiful World/The Circus either, maybe somewhere in the middle.

Really looking forward to Giants tomorrow!

The album has been moved back a week to March 24th, they're really hoping for that #1...still not sure if Ed Sheeran will have died down enough by then but it gives them more of a chance certainly.

I was wondering why they moved it back...they easily beat Ed when III was released, so can't see why they'd be worried now.

 

Loving the album cover!! Have you all seen it? Very Beatles/ Sgt Pepper

On my second listen already and I have to say it's fairly catchy!

Agreed! I'm really liking it! They all sound fantastic on it! Hope this is a hit!

It's a strong lead single! Reminds me of Midnight City by M83 but with a classic TT style chorus on top.

It's very accessible so it will most likely be a hit to some degree.

Their best track to date? I think so!

And it gets better every time you hear it!

This is very strong. Could easily be a OneRepublic track but that's no bad thing, I see them in a somewhat similar lane now and this is very strong for all of the same reasons I enjoy more OneRepublic in that anthemic, stadium chorus type way. Impressed, as I find them quite hit and miss.
