After The Lost Tapes is done should we look at doing a rate of the album? In deluxe form of course.

Nah

So I've been listening to this a fair bit over the past week and it's definitely them back at their best. A rank at the moment would be along the lines of...

 

 

01 Flatline

02 No Regrets

03 Love Me Hard

04 Today

05 Beat is Gone

06 I'm Alright

07 Back in the Day

08 Summer of 99

09 Only You

10 Victory

11 I Lay Down

12 Breathe Me

13 Metal Heart

14 Drum

15 Boys

 

Back to Life 16?

Oh lol I started from the bottom and top and met in the middle... didn't realise I'd missed one off :D

 

Back to Life is fine, it would be 11th

Back at #57 on iTunes, so at least the Radio 2 exposure is helping.

I heard it was climbing, but wasn’t sure how much. Great to see Radio 2 helpmit reach new audiences.

Great to see the climb

Keisha’s new vlog is out and she confirmed that a vinyl release is in the works. They heard the demand and are working on it

Amazing news!! I wonder if that means physical CD’s as well?

 

It might actually chart then.

A vinyl + cd release should definitively make it chart, even if it's just a bonus at this point.

I will do a track by track review of this album very soon, but for now here's my rating of each track out of 10. I will only be reviewing the standard edition & not the 3 bonus tracks for the moment as I'm not that familiar with them yet & plus the standard 13 tracks is brilliant enough anyway.

01. Drum - 9/10
02. Flatline - 10/10
03. Love Me Hard -10/10
04. Summer of '99 -10/10
05. Boys - 10/10
06. Metal Heart - 8/10
07. Beat Is Gone - 10/10
08. No Regrets - 9/10
09. Today - 10/10
10. Victory - 8/10
11. I'm Alright - 8/10
12. I Lay Down - 7/10
13. Back in the Day - 9/10

Avg.9.076

I really hope it comes out on CD LADIES!

If it came out on CD I’d most likely purchase it.

Same! Don’t think I would get vinyl (takes too much space and don’t want a record player).

Same reasons for me. I’d get either of the cds but would prefer the deluxe.

Tbh I don’t care what format it’s on I’m buying it. I think that Vinyl is the most likely tho as it’s enjoying the resurgence and is the physical media most people are more focused on these days

Agree vinyl is the more likely of the two. It seems to be enjoying more of a resurgence than CD’s. Selfishly I want a CD as I don’t have a record play for vinyl.

Today marks 3 months since the release of the deluxe edition, last week was 3 months since the standard album. How time flys.

Oh wow, 3 months already?!
