THE SWEET ESCAPE!
Finally!
My dad bought it for me on the way home from work, and I went up and listened to it straight after eating.
Here is my 'analysis' of each track:
Wind it Up: Love it. It's so great to be able to play it nice and loud in my room whenever I want...so dancey, and great to sing (shout) along to.
The Sweet Escape: Also amazing. I'd heard a clip of it, but it's so much better high quality.
Orange County Girl: The verses are really good, the chorus is much weaker than it was live, but still a good song.
Early Winter: Beautiful. I really love it. Best played loud, and sounds a bit like Keane (unsurprising given that it was produced by a band member) but with Gwen's voice, which makes it cool.
Now That You Got It: This one's good. Takes a few listens, but quite catchy, if very repetitive.
4 in the Morning: Lovely tune, but a bit overdone on the beat in my opinion. Someone's gone overboard with the drum machine. Still good though, and gets better every time you listen.
Yummy: Errr...I actually think this might grow on me, scarily. It's a rap song basically, and not really my sort of thing. And it is just WEIRD at the end.
Fluorescent: Like it, but again, maybe too heavy on the beat or something. I think it'll grow on me a lot though.
Breakin' Up: This just isn't that good. Probably one to skip. Also, the end sounds like Fergie. A LOT.
Don't Get it Twisted: It's alright, also might grow on me.
U Started it: I didn't like it from the title. Slightly better than I expected, but not much.
Wonderful Life: Love it. I'm so glad she put this one on, one of my absolute favourites. You can definitely tell it's a leftover from LAMB!
Overall, at least as good as I expected! I knew I wouldn't like them all, but there are some great songs on this cd, and I'm VERY glad I have it!
