    Imogen Heap sounds A Different Kind Of Blueish
  4. Downloading it...Can't wait to listen!
  5. Is anyone going to provide a link? or.....
  6. So far (second listen, this time not in a row but choosing the song order), I'm pretty satisfied with the album.


    Ups.
    -Up With The Birds is BRILLIANT.
    -So are UFO and Up In Flames (2011's Fix You?).
    -Hurts Like Heaven, as stated before, sounds better in studio than it did live.
    -Don't Let It Break Your Heart was surprisingly good given it has the same crappy pseudo-techno beat than Teardrop.
    -I already liked Charlie Brown and Us Against The World so I haven't been surprised to like them also in their studio versions. Same goes for Major Minus.

    Downs.
    -Paradise works better alone than on the album for me, and so does Teardrop.
    -The three interludes are nice Eno-fications, but they bump the tracklist to 14 songs innecesarely. They could be included in their respective tracks as intros and not separate tracks. They fake the tracklist, and that I don't like.
    -Princess Of China is crap.
  7. Yeah, Princess of Crap is awful. This album kind of sounds like CP is trying to be Postal Service......still undecided, but not blown away.
  8. I liked Prince at first I disliked only Don't Let It Break Your Heart at first listen. Not blown away instead instantly, but there are some nice tunes! In a sense glad that AROBBTH will remain my favorite album

    True, but you may want to skip the long intro, M.M.I.X. for example is fifty seconds.
    Eleven tracks is still above average.

    Moreover, the intro's are not really part of the songs. They are not even similar to the songs.

    By the way, they could have separated the tracks on Viva La Vida, but didn't.
  10. I don't mind Princess of China - in my opinion, it's not the worst song on the album. Here's my insight on each song:

    MX/Hurts Like Heaven: much better live than studio.
    Paradise: Agree with Sergio, works better as a stand alone song than being on an album.
    Charlie Brown: I think it's better live, but I still really like it. Contender for best song on the album.
    Us Against The World: another contender for best song on the album.
    Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall: catchy song of course, but I don't know, it doesn't really fit the album in my opinion.
    Major Minus: great song, yet another contender for best song on the album.
    U.F.O.: another great song. Short and sweet.
    Princess of China: not as bad as everyone is saying, but you can tell that Rihanna will help their popularity with the 'cool kids'.
    Up in Flames: it's alright, nothing special in my opinion.
    Don't Let It Break Your Heart: crap; worst song on the album.
    Up With the Birds: pretty good as an album closer.

    7/10 after first listen for me.
  11. anyone interested in a mediafire link of -cough- should pm me
  12. I'm going to give it a rest until tomorrow, let's see how it evolves. It's too early for me to give the album a numeric rating. Nevertheless, I can tell it's worse than A Rush Of Blood and Parachutes, better than X&Y and probably better than Viva La Vida - although I still have to decide on that. See you all tomorrow
