March 12Mar 12 Have now listened to this album several times and really enjoying it.Although Aperture remains a firm fave, I think that's more about the familiarity of the song more than anything else and one of the others will definitely take it's place, I'm sure. American Girls, Ready Steady Go and Pop are probably the most commercial here, but I am really liking Dance No More (maybe the only actual disco song here) Season 2 Weight Loss (quite the curve ball, but addictive) and Taste Back.Paint By Numbers is without doubt the low point. I'm also not crazy about Coming Up Roses (I'm not a ballad kinda guy) and Are You Listening Yet (which is just not clicking).I'm a Harry fan, but not a stan, so would be quite happy to say if I thought this was a bad album, but it really is not. It's definitely a step off the trodden path, but it's not so far removed from his other stuff to be offensive.Genuinely a no-skip album (depending on my mood with PBN and CUR) and a very solid 4 out of 5 for me.

March 14Mar 14 I'm totally enjoying the album and Carla's Song is my far, the best. The last time I waited for an album to end because of the final song was Kylie's Fever (Tightrope). Overall, very nice album - loved Coming up Roses as well.

March 19Mar 19 This is an album full of growers thus far, thought it was okay but with a couple of highlights (American Girls, Pop and Coming Up Roses) but Ready Steady Go, Dance No More and Are You Listening Yet have really clicked with me now! On brand considering that Aperture on first listen was a bit dull but had quickly grown to be one of my favourites from him.
