This is such a fantastic album! Every single song is amazing, and its easily the best album of 2005! :-D

I agree. It's a fantastic album. A dozen of hot electropop tunes in one single cd!
The next (and likely last) single, Nothing Good About This Goodbye is on the releases schedule for December 5th (same week as Sugababes' Ugly and Gwen's Luxurious).

I of course downloaded it, but stopped listening to it thinking CDWOW would have my CD sent by now. It's been DELAYED again so I think it's gonna end up being more of a Christmastime pop album for me than an Autumn one.
I agree. Brilliant, perfect pop. It's glittery on every track.

I think that the tracks of this album were very well produced. But I give it 8 out of 10 cozz Rachel's voice sounds a bit overprouduced in songs like Sweet Dreams My La Ex and Negotitate With Love.

Sweet Dreams My LA Ex isn't on Come And Get It. lol (It's on Funly Dory, her first album).
This said, Nothing Good About This Goodbye is no longer on the December 5th release schedule... It's not really surprising considering the high competion.

Album of the year!! :)
I bought a copy of this when I was in London for my friend -- and I finally had the time to give it to her!! She's a Rachel fan too! :)

You know, I never heard of Rachel Stevens until I met all of you and went to her website from one your signatures. Now she's one of my favorite artists! Thanx!

its such a shame it flopped, it was a finely crafted album and deserved number 1! I'm glad it good a lot of good reviews. Also I want another single because her b-sides from this album are always amazing.
also I never got my album...the place I ordered it from has yet to ship it!

Terry: That sucks! I wish I'd have picked up a copy for you! I bought one for my friend here (the DVD version, no less -- although it was the only one I found in 5 London stores), and one for our Acer friend Linda!

I heard "I Said Never Again But Here We Are" on the radio here in TORONTO last weekend, which is AMAZING cause I never heard any of the other singles played here! I'm trying to get the album, which apparently is out in Canada too :)

Rachel should defo release outside the UK. I Think she would have good chances in Germany, Scandinavia or Canada.
DraKarnig
11-15-2005, 09:14 PM
*gasp* Peter!! How are you?? Haven't talked to you in aaaages. (It's Drake, btw.) Anyway, just wanted to say hi!!
Oh and yes, I agree about Rachel expanding outside of the UK. I doubt anyone would take a chance on her. Maybe Japan!

Awww that's ok... I know you're busy studying and all. I'm a patient girl! And I'm so happy you got me the album, that I don't mind waiting a little longer!
Well I've just listened to the album in full for the first time, and I think it's actually quite good. It's a shame you know, I think a Rachel Stevens song by anyone but her would do well... I just don't think many people like her :worried:
Peter

British don't like her for some reasons... like she doesn"t slag off other artists all the time etc.
She hasn't done that bad in the charts btw.

Linda: Your package has been sent! Oddly enough, I went to the same post office that I went to when I sent Andre his package years ago!!! I've never been to that post office otherwise! :)
Julien: *ahem* I believe "Negotiate with Love" peaked at #9, not 10. ;)
Peter: I know it's the second time I post this, but I got it! lol

Actually, no. :-P
People were even making fun of her because she got two #10 singles in the row and thought I Said Never Again will be the 3rd one.
It picked at #8 in the midweeks though... without downloads included.
Osiris

I Said Never Again is getting regular airplay on the canadian radio 104.5 CHUM FM!
Maybe it's a good sign for her... she should try to break in Canada!

See that's not that bad at all, but unless someone has a few #1's, I find they always hold them in low regard.
Some Girls was great, and deserved to be #1, and So Good was ten times better than that! I was so disappointed when it only got to #10 or whatever it got.

British people hate Rachel cause they find her boring or whatever... which is silly. I only care for the music myself. As long as she's releasing catchy tunes, I will love her!

its official, bangcd.com has cancelled my order! I'm so pissed lol, I think they better give me my money back or they will have one pissed bitch to deal with :-P

Fuckers!
In some other news... Rachel sang ISNA live at the Smash Hit Poll Winner Party today. The backing track was pretty loud but you could clearly hear the live vocals during the electonic vocals parts. http://www.sayhey.co.uk/invboard/html/emoticons/rahrahrah.gif
She has a new hairstyle btw.

I cannot believe MORE MORE MORE did so well. That is so absurd. I almost didn't believe it when it was first getting released, that it was actually gonna happen.
NGL, SG, ISNA: I was so impressed with these. I know that a lot of ppl got bored of NGL quite quickly, but I was playing it all through the Winter and Spring.
I'm still waiting for my COME & GET IT album from CDWOW, God bless them. They try hard. And it's frickin' cheap. I'm actually hoping it comes today.

Actually, I think you'll find the reason some Brits don't like her is cos
1. She was in S Club 7 (seen as tacky)
2. She was known as the crap singer in S Club 7 (let's face it, aside from Jo, they were all pretty bad!)
3. She's now the ex S Club 7 member who keeps/kept appearing in FHM style mags! (This is likely to not win her lots of female fans)
I'm not a fan, but wouldn't go as far as "hating" her... I just think she's a poor man's Kylie and feel quite indifferent about her.
I did love L.A. Ex though... And Funky Dory (the song) was okay...
