2011 revisited (part one) ~ The Feeling / Take That
Posted by Paul on January 09, 2012
Labels: album assessment, Take That, The Feeling It's barely 2012 and already I'm thinking, blimey there were some albums I neglected in 2011 that deserve a bit of a retrial. A couple (todays offerings) I purposely held back from as it was additional material offered alongside fairly current albums from the acts concerned. The other two (tomorrow's offerings) are acts that I like (one I love) but whose albums I didn't spend enough time with and am rediscovering now. OK, enough waffle, on with the words!!
FizzyPop!!: 2011 revisited (part one) ~ The Feeling / Take That
Considering my love for Take That, and the critical outpouring of adoration for Progress, it's somewhat amazing that I stuck to my resolve to not get into Progressed until 2012. It was released 6-7 months into the Progress campaign at a time when I thought a few more singles could have been marketed from that album (most notably, SOS and the dreamy 8 Letters). Progressed appeared as an 8 track EP (what constitutes an album and what constitutes an EP is a whole other conversation!) with the kicky lead off single Love Love (featuring in X Men: First Class) neatly slotting alongside the Progress sound. Indeed, much of Progressed feels like a natural progression of Progress. The nostalgic opener When We Were Young is possibly the most pre-Progress sounding of the bunch, yet is a great track that deserved a much better video than it actually got. There's some forward thinking industrial electro on Man which is balanced by the tear jerking ballad Don't Say Goodbye, which is Gazza at his heart wrenching finest. Viewed as a separate album that deserves it's own campaign (a la Fame Monster), this is a bonkers but brilliant piece of work that is a fine addition to the Take That canon of music.
Suggested singles: Love Love, When We Were Young, Man, Don't Say Goodbye...
