August 24, 20177 yr A mess. Saying that, Down hung around outside the top 40 for a while and did well on streaming with literally 0 support. I wonder why Radio 1 and Capital wouldn't support after the last era managed 3 hits. tbf it was on Hot Hits for over a month so it would obviously be top 75 on streaming, like every track on Hot Hits
August 24, 20177 yr This album is their 'Salute', a really listenable album but not single material. They will flop and fade away, it's a shame how bad things have been manage with this album, I think that there were a few options to keep them growing and with decent hits. Anyway ... READY FOR LAUREN's SOLO ALBUM HERE!!
August 24, 20177 yr I don't understand why they keep pushing the band so hard after Camilla's leaving but they haven't recorded strong songs and singles.. And not having now a new single out for the release of the album ...
August 24, 20177 yr On first listen: 10 Down 06 He Like That 10 Sauced Up 08 Make You Mad 04 Deliver 06 Lonely Night 03 Don't Say You Love Me 07 Angel 05 Messy 04 Bridges Such a big comedown from 7/27 :( Sauced Up and Make You Mad are the only new songs that particularly stand out to me, I actually love 'Down' tbh though, it's basic af but so irresistible *.*
August 25, 20177 yr Ok so i'm REALLY enjoying this album on first listen probably there best album for me IMO ! I love how mature the whole thing is and the vibe they have gone for. My initial favourites are : 'Sauced Up' 'Deliver' (LOVE this one such an old school Rnb vibe) Don't Say You Love Me He Like That Make Me Mad Edited August 25, 20177 yr by troylovesmusic
August 25, 20177 yr Make Me Mad is my early album track highlight. When 'Down' is a standout of your album you have to worry a bit.
August 25, 20177 yr I enjoyed listening to this but none of the tracks really stood out. Angel is my favourite at the moment. I'll still give it another go.
August 25, 20177 yr So far enjoying this album a lot actually. Sauced Up, Make You Mad and Deliver are strongest to me. Make You Mad is clearly the I Lied of the album.
August 25, 20177 yr First listen rate: -01.0 Down 06.0 He's Like That 08.0 Sauced Up 06.5 Make You Mad 07.5 Deliver 05.0 Lonely Night 08.0 Don't Say You Love Me 07.0 Angel 06.0 Messy 07.0 Bridges I was expecting this to be an absolute mess from the awful single choices and the clear 0.50p budget they spent on the promo and the cover combined, but it isn't actually that bad. It still does sound a bit thrown together at last minute and cheap, but it is actually an alright listen. It does lack character and personality but most of the tracks are pretty catchy and listenable for sure. They really done this era wrong singles wise. They should have led with 'Sauced Up' and had 'Deliver' and 'Don't Say You Love Me' as follow ups. None of them would have been as big as 7/27 singles granted, but I feel like they would have done better than 'Down' and 'Angel' by a mile. Overall, I would give the album a 6/10. Not bad considering I was expecting 3/10 and they have never really been an album artist anyway.
