is that all?

i've heard the single but that's it. the graun round up mentioned something about there being so many writers yet it still cohering or summat and also "fourth album? bored now" or similar...

Only heard a five-track sampler (sans 'Joy Division'), and I didn't like it. It had lost all the edginess and menace which made that last run of singles so arresting, replaced by sugar-sweet pop with no bite, yet not enough joy to substitute for it. And whoever wrote the lyrics to 'Ugly' should be shot.

Listened to most of the first half in HMV last nite. "Red Dress" is fantastic. "Push The Button" just gets better and better. When the guitar intro to "Joy Division" started I thought the beat was going to be double the speed it actually was - still a good song though. The title doesn't feature in the lyrics, I think (heh, anticipation (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=sugababes+joy+division+lyrics&btnG=Google+Search&meta=)!).

I need to hear the other three again before passing judgement.

Can't decide whether to get the CD from Sainsbury's or Amazong. Ah, dilemmas.

I like it, I do, but it's kind of... backburnered.. it's not jumping out as life-affirming and essential, so shall be going back in two weeks and trying to pick through it again. "Red Dress", "Joy Division" and "Bruised" I would agree are the standouts beyond "PTB" which may be their.. ooh.. fifth best single now? (behind "Overload", "Run For Cover", "Freak Like Me" and "Round Round", would be sixth if "Million Different Ways" had been a single).

It's good enough--doesnt have as many great songs as the Rachel Stevens; doesn't have the drama of the TaTu, and, just cos I'm listening to it now, it doesn't have the inventiveness or the fun of the Fannypack.

I like it, but I'm not sure how I'll often I'll be going back to it, in, say, January/December.

Sorry that was so long/rambling/pointless.

I should have KNOWN better. Arf.

Humble Pie, of sorts

Taller in More Ways is totally outstripping Come and Get It right now...

It's ever so lush.
