Well, one kind of general comment, since I think there were a lot of overlapping/related thoughts:<BR/><BR/>I know I've said this before, I think, in a comment somewhere or something, but this album era is the first time I've really "got" Girls Aloud. In the past, I saw them as having a handful of OK singles, but I didn't listen to them too often. "Something Kinda Ooooh" was almost a turning point, but not quite--I loved that, but it didn't really change my thoughts on their older stuff. "Sexy! No No No..." got me to relisten to more of those older songs and come to completely love them, though I'm still in the middle of the real listening experience--so I'll get back to you on my thoughts on the earlier albums as a whole a little later, Resa ;) (it wasn't until a few days ago, for rexample, that I really fell for "It's Magic"). That's made it extra-interesting to hear people's thoughts on this album compared to older ones.<BR/><BR/>On some more specific notes, DT, yeah, "Close To Love" needs to be a single! It's fantastic! I would've loved it as the album opener. I know, Adem, I thought of you when writing that about "Can't Speak French"--it's weird, but I could see it being one of those songs that, if it becomes a single and I hear on its own, I suddenly "get." By the way, I've been meaning to say for ages (well, days) how amazing the new site looks! Robpop, is something happening with Will Young? I have no idea--maybe Paul knows? Last I remember is Paul saying something about a disco album, I think...Poster Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797812846936450135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-47819882730234798862007-11-19T18:01:00.000-05:002007-11-19T18:01:00.000-05:00I've been a Girls Aloud fan since 2002 and they're...I've been a Girls Aloud fan since 2002 and they're really the only CDs I buy before any other artists (minus Kylie Minogue, and when D'Nash's "Todo Va A Cambiar" comes out).<BR/><BR/>I think this album... hmm, I love it but I still have to listen to it more to fully rank it in comparison to the other albums. <BR/><BR/>I was also quite curious as to what you thought of their previous albums?Resahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12309229943421722107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-65432617087617393542007-11-19T17:26:00.000-05:002007-11-19T17:26:00.000-05:00I've tried to understand what everyone sees in thi...I've tried to understand what everyone sees in this band and gave "Tangled Up" a chance against my better judgement but it's the same old over-produced, generic rubbish.

Its great but I feel its pretty much more of the same output for the girls that remain quite loud. <BR/><BR/>There is that argument "if aint broke...dont try and..."<BR/><BR/>but personally this album is beginning to sound like a derivative of that long lost Moonbaby EP released all those many moons ago. <BR/><BR/>Its only when they cover other acts that they sound completely different. And this says alot. They are a great pop act. Don't get me wrong. I love them. I just feel they aint as groundbreaking as the mainstream newspapers always give them credit for. To me, its about Clea. So perhaps i am biased. <BR/><BR/>This album sounds like a swan-song. Its most ground-breaking track "Control The Knife" sounds like Temptation (the Tyler James b-side!). <BR/><BR/>In short, I am going to remain on the fence when it comes to Tangled Up. I always tend to this though when it comes to girlband cds. I need to really explore this cd. <BR/><BR/>I am very proud though...there are very few Popstar acts still going and releasing albums. In the UK there is only Girls Aloud and Clea. Hear'say are finished. As are Phixx, Javine, OneTrueVoice and LibertyX. So, its a great achievement for Girls Aloud. Lets out a little "yay".<BR/><BR/><BR/>Whats up with Will Young?<BR/><BR/>Slightly changing the subject. Sorry...<BR/><BR/>I always thought the 3 female singers of Liberty X could make a brilliant girlband.Robpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338917857200380786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-36165460249865264352007-11-19T04:56:00.000-05:002007-11-19T04:56:00.000-05:00Still worshiping this album and am glad you've com...Still worshiping this album and am glad you've come around to it Paul.<BR/><BR/>Very happy you're enjoying it too PG, though "Can't Speak French" is still my fave...Adem With An Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539798658335966794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-29535489076219174692007-11-19T01:57:00.000-05:002007-11-19T01:57:00.000-05:00i was one of those people who found Sexy No No No ...i was one of those people who found Sexy No No No too cool for the sake of being cool at first, but now i absolutely love it, great song, ideal choice for them. Had I written this about 10 hours ago i would have said i was struggling with the album, but um, things change :P See my blog later today!!
