11 hours ago11 hr 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.
