    Hello...!?...
    Another person who didn't.
    I play it when it's on My Turntable
  4. Rolling Stone already puts SOE as 3rd best album of the year. Pretty harsh for them.
  5. It also rates the showman as terrific, something I can’t go along with so another review to disregard for me at least.
  6. So how well do we think this album will do, financially speaking? SoI sold terribly, but it's because everyone had it for free. Will that fiasco impact the sales of this album? Whether it does or not, do you guys think this album will sell well based on its own merits alone? Or do you think that it'll do "fine"?
  7. The hardfans buy it
    The rest of the world downloads it

    I'm sure it will hit the no1 spot in most countries but taylor swift's album is only for the 2nd week on no1 in the US. also, it won't be like JT or AB, because of the time we are living in

    it's spectacularly good for a band having to compete with their back catalogue classics like JT and AB after 40 years. Is it better than these two? No. But it's brilliant nevertheless.

    I don't think it has specularity, I think it has simplicity.

    When you read all the hype, probably you'll expect something spectacular, and the simplicity of it could disappoint you.
    But if you go into the album expecting Best Thing, the simplicity of it will amaze you.

    This album is perfect in its simplicity.

    I think it will be #1 in the charts but I don’t know what that will translate to in sales figures.
  12. It doesn't take much to get an album to #1 now, at least in the UK.
