This is fantastic!! One of their best for me already, and that's high praise indeed :wub:

 

I think this will be a massive hit ngl.

I really hope so! It's up to #8 on iTunes now

The track is really instant positive and catchy and easy on the ear. It does sound like a hit to me but they won't have one without a big push as they are no longer in the Justin Bieber phase of their career.

 

In terms of lead singles from studio albums I'd rank them:

 

1.The Flood

2.Patience

3.GIANTS (has potential to go higher up for me)

4.Sure

5.These Days

6.Greatest Day

7.Why Can't I Wake Up With You?

8.Do What U Like

8.Do What U Like

 

Wasn't why can't I wake up with you was the last single from Take That & party? Also figured Pray as the the lead from Everything Changes ( as WCIWUWU was included on Everything Changes in remixed form)

I thought WCIWUWY was the lead as the slower version was an album track but not released in that form as a single. However the remix version was from the Everything Changes album making it a different song in terms of style and length. Could It Be Magic was the 7th and last single released from the first, however again in a single remix form.

 

WCIWUWY is classed as the first from Everything Changes as Take That still hold the record for most top 10 singles by a group from one album in UK - 1.WCIWUWY 2.Pray 3.Relight My Fire 4.Babe 5.Everything Changes 6.Love Ain't Here Anymore.

Really good new song. Hope it does well for them. No4 on iTunes now.

Yes, you're spot on about WCIWUWY - a shame it didn't top the charts at the time.

 

Reviews of Giants seem to be positive across the board! Issue is with streaming and the Ed Sheeran machine. Top 10 hopefully is within reach

Strong start on itunes for Giants, but i worry streaming will crucify it. If they can reach top 10 officially it would be wonderful.

Really love this on first listen, I agree about the M83 comparison, a very good thing indeed, it sounds so rousing and anthemic <3 Sounds quite distinctive within the styles of the charts atm which is a good thing (thank GOD they haven't jumped on the tropical bandwagon *shudders*)

98 RE 210 Take That ~ Never Forget - The Ultimate Collection

 

Good to see them make a chart return the week before the single charts, i was not expecting this so the surprise was greater.

Great stuff!!

Really good interview from fearne with the guys!

 

Fast forward to 1 minute:

 

I like it but i dont love it, maybe it will grow on me. My problem is, Giants could easily be part of the Three era and we know that this could be a problem as it didnt gel as well with the public as other material. These Days i loved on first listen and still love, im not feeling that with Giants but it could grow on me as i listen to it more.

 

Based on Giants and if the album is in that direction i cant see the album selling even as good as Three. Giants doesnt have the sound that people loved Take That for, maybe other songs on the album will but if the album hasnt they really arent tuned in with what the public want from them. Maybe they dont care, maybe they are making the music they enjoy rather than making music to get big sales and with the huge career they have had i understand that too.

 

On a positive note, nice to see the ultimate collection back in the charts and adding to its already incredible sales.

I like Giants, but I'm not mad about it.

I'm ADORING, though, Loving or Leaving. That, for me, is what TT is all about. Great lyrics, good melody, gorgeous, pure vocals. I know it wouldn't have worked as a single, but I much prefer it to Giants and I hope we get to hear it live.

 

Deluxe bonus tracks have been confirmed as follows;

 

Don't give up on me

Up

Come on love

Cry with Sigma

 

I'm glad the Sigma collobaration has been included!

 

 

Has anyone heard the b side to Giants? I like it! As Milly says, classic TT

I can't say I'm impressed, but anything's better than 'Greatest Day' at least.

 

I'm still willing it to do well for them though, in this day and age it'd be nice to see a "heritage" act beat the odds.

I like Giants but I don't love it like I immediately did with These Days, and still do. But we'll see, maybe it will grow on me.I haven't heard Loving or Leaving yet. Hope we will get the video for Giants soon.

Jay, can you please help me with the lyrics for Loving or Leaving?

I simply can't understand some words:

 

All the barriers are down

Now there's no words guiding me

There was a slow descent

'T was a show of intentions

By me

Every secret's been sought/sold???

Broken every nail holding on

And now the painful silence

Lord's only guidance

For me

 

Chorus:

Are you giving in, giving in

To please

Make it overblown ??? and obvious

Are you loving me

Or trying to leave me?

Are you loving me

Or trying to leave me?

Loving or leaving?

 

 

All my weapons are blunt

Days alone, nights are cruel,

There's a motion going???

Of pure admiration

For your autonomy

And I hope you saw blood????on my toe???

There's a reason I can't stay too long

 

Are you catching waves or swimming out to sea

You keep it on the calf ???

And about us

Are you loving me

Or trying to leave me? - bis

LOving or leaving?

 

Loving, leaving, hiding or seeing

Tied up out here alone with me

Loving, leaving,

Too late of being

???????

Are you telling me

Are you loving me

Or trying to leave me?

I don't know about you, guys, but my frustration levels are off the charts. How could they not perform Giants on Let It Shine? They killed all chances that song had of charting decently.
