LOVE Thug Workout, Priorities is one of my favourite albums of recent years (mainly tracks like Priorities, Actors, Fancy Dress etc.)<br /><br />My view on the whole standard/deluxe albums is similar. One of them is pointless. I think if a song isn't good enough to make the standard album, why release it at all? I don't think I'd miss tracks like 'Bad Feeling' or 'Wrong Place Wrong Time' if I never hear them again. Another thing that annoys me a little bit is the fact that we heard 6 of the 14 tracks on the deluxe album before the album was released. I get that it's been ages between albums, but I much prefer it when bands release one single to warm you up, then hit you with the album. I listened to the album like "heard this one, skip, heard this one, skip"...yeah...<br /><br />It kinda feels like Money Power Fame and Fire are just there to keep die hard fans of Priorities happy, which I get sort of, but can't help but think it's a bit lazy. If you're going to repeat something stylistically, you have to make sure it's so much better, and those tracks just aren't.<br /><br />All of the other tracks I either love, or like enough to keep on the album. I particularly love Automatic, Nerve, Let You Get Away, and Super Love. As much as you hate Further, I actually think it's a good track to finish off an album - I don't share your hatred of ballads though, so no surprise that we think differently there.<br /><br />Overall I'd say your rating of 7/10 is fair. I can't help but think without a couple of tracks it might have got a higher score.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
