I still think it's LOVELY



Everyone's At It
The Fear
Not Fair
22
I Could Say
Back to the Start
Never Gonna Happen
Fuck You
Who'd Have Known
Chinese
Him
He Wasn't There

[Halli]

How much did this sell in the end?

[VoR]

Close to a million in the UK, I believe...

[Agnetha]

I really LOVE this album. I still play it to this day. Especially odd as I HATED her early material.

[VoR]

I really really like this album. She could so easily have been a flash in the pan but she totally delivered. Gets a bit meh towards the end, but the first half is largely blinding.

[Jark]

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed an album so much and yet so hated the single choices. I just DIDN'T GET IT. I didn't want Not Fair released, but fair enough, it was huge - but then why release the likes of 22 or Who'd Have Known (both SO BORING) when you have CHINESE available to you? Or I Could Say. Both of those songs are amongst the very best stuff she's done. Frustrating.

Patchy but the highlights are fantastic.

[Agnetha]

Not Fair is GLORIOUS. And the video just MAKES it.

I fucking love Fuck You.

[Mats]

the video for Not Fair is lovely and she was a treat to see live. such a solid album!

[Raining On Me]

Yeah the singles are odd after Not Fair...not sure how much they helped the album either because I'm sure it had done a hefty amount by the time Not Fair was done anyway.

Either way I adore this, I liked the first, but this seems like an album of more accomplished pop songs without losing any of the wit and character. The first was more "quirky" perhaps, the songs were like fun little DITTIES. On here it's just bigger and better...

I love this album as well. The final two singles were most odd. CHINESE FOR RELEASE NOW.

[Raining On Me]

I love listening to that song, by the time the ending rolls up you're lead to believe she eats Chinese and beans on toast every day (with a nice cup of tea). Which sounds FABULOUS

Terrific pop album. Agree with the comments rearding single choices - clearly "Everyone's At It" and "Chinese" should have been singles 3 + 4.

[Jark]

I'm sure I read that they filmed a video for Everyone's At It at the same time as The Fear because they couldn't decide which was going to be the first single. If that's true it's mighty ODD that it never got released at all.

'Fuck You' really is one of my favourite things EVER.

"Everyone's At It" was originally planned as the first single in September 2008. Apparently there is a video, so it's very bizarre.

[Phoenix]

i haven't listened to this in quite a while, i just got so bored of it all of a sudden. i'll give it a spin later and see how i feel now, i used to love it.

[VoR]

She's confirmed she's back in the studio with Greg Kurstin.

*Funky cock-a-hoop*

[Loufoque]

The Fear is one of the best pop songs of the last decade

[Pipo]

but everything's good as long as I'm GETTING THINNER is my motto of LIFE!

[Sheena]

I really LOVE this album. I still play it to this day. Especially odd as I HATED her early material.
