  1. For me, Progress and Circus are a tie. Progress is overall top-notch album from top to bottom. Circus though has some questionable moments it does has a lot of heart in to it. Songs like Greatest Day and Hold up the Light are a masterpiece from them. Take That and Party is just too young and doesn't age well at all. I'm in a minority here that like Wonderland. At least more than III for sure. I was not impressed by III when it first came out even though I like several songs in it. III and Beautiful World are in the same category for me as in they are very formulaic. Beautiful World just have better songs.
  2. I don't understand the talk about Jay like he is a bad guy here when this is probably the main reason why he quit the band, to stop stangers being judgmental on him. What's wrong with him dating young girls or older girls (Catherine Tate wasn't exactly young when they were dating)? He is single and should be allowed to date whoever he wants. And if he decided to quit because of the tax thing then I don't see any problem. People has different values in life that hold dear to their heart. Anyway, all this was just you guys' speculations (not even truth) and you still manage to use it to talk down on him just because he is not your favorite. Jason has never been a fan of technology since when he was in the band so I see no reasons for him to change after he left the band. Being of grid is so Jason that I don't know why everyone would be surprised. I have a lot of old colleagues that I was close to when I was working with them but never bother to keep in touch. I still like them but they are not my priority at the moment. There are so many levels of friendship and Take That is definitely a unique one.
  3. I think they did say they would do the original version of Pray at the tour. Myself imagine it will start with a slow version and then lunch into a dancing one.
  4. Then we will have to agree to disagree. I don't see how it sound any difference from say One Love concert. Maybe it's his look that's distracting.
  5. Mark always sound like this. So you have to be embarrassed for a long time if that's your criteria. He sung in tune and not better or worst then before. I happen to like his voice and his songs so I might be bias. I always like Gary voice the most but not all the songs are meant to be for him. The two songs fit the theme of the show. It would look weird if they do Rule the world and then Everything changes. I agree with a comment about the mustache though. It has to go!
  6. Thanks Jay727. Love the performance. It's fun, entertaining and visually stunning. I hope that's part of the tour (minus Robbie of course). Some reactions on twitter make it sound like a disaster when it's not. I think Mark's singing is as good as any other times. So is Rob's and everyone knew that Rob's can be on and off depending on his mood. The only thing I don't like is Rob's flirting with Ayda. It takes away from it's being TT song. One more complain is that they should do at least 3 songs.
  7. The more I listened to it the more I think they missed out good opportunity by not releasing Everlasting. Its lyric fitting the greatest hit them better. It would connect more to casual fans.
  8. I always feel that Never Forget and Million Love Songs work way better in the live environment. The music arrangement in the CD recording is just too cheesy.
  9. I just wish they would at least do a show in the US. Just one is enough for me. It doesn't have to be a big show, just them and the band would be enough for us US fans. New York, LA I don't care. Just come and I'll fly there.
  10. I heard Gary mentions both of our record companies at some points. So I think the new greatest hits will be a mix of both eras. Just not sure in what kind of format.
  11. I really like the video. Maybe it will help with the chart a bit, huh?
  12. I'm torn about it being a single. I like it but kinda want them to do something more risky with a 2nd single so people take notice. Either Superstars or It's all for you.
  13. Hopefully they do a soundtrack to Kingsman II and have a bonus song added to the reissue of the album. A new wicked single is a must for this album to do well.
  14. I think the problem with Wonderland is, unlike III, it doesn't have a real single material. And that translate back to the sale. Saying that. Now, I'm crazy for New Day after the live performance. Wouldn't mind it being a second single now.
  15. Here is my ranking on the comeback album. 1. Progress 2. The Circus 3. Wonderland 4. III 5. Beautiful World (not counting Rule the World) I like that they keep evolving and feel that the evolution is genuine. Apart from III where you can feel that they were not quite certain with the direction. Every albums feel like it's the step they want to take as a group. They are not for sure at this point aiming for the best selling album because like everybody said they can go back to do Beautiful World II if they want to sell more. They may not gain a lot of casual buyers. You have to admit that all the people that give them, Adele or Ed Sheeran those huge sale are the type of people that buy 2-3 cds a year and not gonna be life-long devoted fans. By continuing to evolve, they will gain new, though small, devoted fans. You don't stan for any artists just for the music. Usually, it's the side story that make you love them. Grant it music does matter but that's personal preference. Different people like different kinds of music. You can't please everyone.
