2nd single confirmed on Mel's website as Carolyna

I heard this album the other. Very disappointing. Alot of the tracks sounded the same and were quite dull. Nothing really stood out apart from the very first song on the album and the beautiful "the moment you believe".

You mean 'Understand'. The album needs more than one listen but This Time and Carolyna are very instant too.

the album is starting to really grow on me now like Nerina Pallot's did last year :D

 

Understand, I Want Candy, Don't Let Me Go, This Time, The Moment You Believe, Carolyna, Protected :wub:

like all of mel c album they take time to mature and the songs grow on each listen

I'm really liking Out Of Time now. Didn't care for it much when I heard the clip but now I can't stop playing it!! Same with May Your Heart.

 

 

Your Mistake has grown on me so much! Its in my personal chart this week!

How come there's no This Time album thread? It's the only original album not to have one. :unsure:

 

It's been exactly 16 years since the album was released. What are your favourite songs from the album / era?

There is one here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31351 / During the project of making album threads (creating topics for albums that were released before BuzzJack was opened in 2006) we ended up doing a new thread for Emma’s Life in Mono, even though an original topic from 2006 existed. I think there was a plan to open a fresh This Time thread, but for whatever reason we forgot to do it! I don’t mind if we just bump that original This Time thread for discussion (we did this for The Sea & Version of Me album topics anyway). I may as well move our posts to that thread (I’ll do that when I’m next on my computer, it’s a bit fiddly on a phone!).

 

Honestly I like This Time more than a lot of fans seem to! Forever Again, Your Mistake and May Your Heart are my favourite album tracks. 16 years, oh my. I remember buying the CD in HMV during lunchtime when I was at college. Sadly I was only one of maybe 4500 people in the country to get it that week lol.

I'd take Already Gone and Fragile over all of This Time but then I don't like most of the album. Already Gone is brill though.

But B Sides are B Sides for a reason! (Oh Melanie x)

I mean I like the album but I agree about already gone it’s one of my fave Melanie tracks ever! Understand, Carolyna and Already gone are the highlights of that era for me. I love fragile, out of time and your mistake too and I have a real soft spot for what if I stay, it’s really simple but she sounds divine on it.

I lost Melanie C from Reason to Version of Me (although I loved Anymore).

This Time is like a thousand sleeping pills.

Oh I forgot the moment you believe I love that one too even if I think it sounds out of place on the album (not as much as I want candy though which I just don't like at all).

 

The album is certainly very lost, it has some lovely tracks but it doesn't really work as a collection, it could do with a re-jig in tracklisting and again the B-side were stronger than some album tracks. I wonder if the record company in Germany pushed for the inclusion of tracks like The moment you believe and protected and Immune after the success of FDOML?

 

I think this order flows better

 

1. Understand

2. Already gone

3. This time

4. Fragile

5. We love to entertain you

6. Carolyna

7. Your mistake

8. Don't let me go

9. Out of time

10. What if I stay

 

Leave out protected and the moment you believe because they don't really work in the album (they can be the b-side and stand alone single as it did quite well for her in Europe), Immune I don't think is necessary so scrap it. Short and sweet.

Not you leaving out my two favourite This Time album tracks x

Is May your heart one? I do love it aswell Tbf! What is the other?

Forever Again!

Forever Again!

 

 

Oh I forgot that one, I really like that too! Need to edit my tracklist now! :w00t:

1. Understand

2. Already gone

3. This time

4. Fragile

5. We love to entertain you

6. Carolyna

7. Your mistake

8. Forever again

9. Don't let me go

10. Out of time

11. What if I stay

 

Re-edit!

We love to entertain you is pants. Was Rock Me not part of TT too, another Mel C song I cant stand. This Time was probably the low point musically for me following Mel C (I'm pretending Stages doesn't exist).
