Nic the workaholic. 8-)

This is easily my album of the year and I doubt anything will beat it. Not one track is worth skipping. The one thing that the album is missing is 'Fix Me' as its definitely one of the highlights of Nicola's solo career so far.

Yes and yes! :D

Still can't get enough of "Say It Out Loud". I even made the awesome part after the middle 8 as my ringtone!

I even love "Everybody's Got To Learn Sometimes" now. I wish it's more like the the version on the G-A-Y performance wherein it turned into dubstep towards the end!

Also, I realized "Fish Out Of Water" is about her passion for music and starting a solo career:

"So what happens now?
You're turning down the volume
Am I supposed to start anew?
"

(Girl Aloud took a hiatus)

You're my childhood sweetheart
I will chase you
Yeah I'll chase you, I will chase you


(Childhood sweetheart = a music career?)

Even, if I have to go alone
I'd rather that then let you go
So I'll face the road unknown

Just bought my copy off iTunes UK. Hope that helps it climb up. :lol: The acoustic performances from MSN and The Sun changed my mind about this. Screw reinventing music, this is pretty damn amazing. 8-)

Disappointed that there's no digital booklet though. It's not that hard to scan the pages and upload them in pdf is it? :-?

Whoop whoop! My copy has finally arrived! :D I'm so excited to listen to it. I never was a big Girls Aloud fan, and I don't (really) like Cheryl Cole, but Nicola's solo material (what I've heard so far) is pretty amazing. 8-)

A real shame. But Lucky day only spent one week in the Top 100, so it's not surprising sadly.

The Sticks & Stones performance on her Vevo account is just sensational. So beautiful.

I love the album! I've heard it a couple of times now and I must say I'm addicted!

Oh no, it dropped like a hot potato. Hardly surprising but at least reviews have been excellent and everyone on here seems to love it!

I don't care how it's charted, it's an amazing album and certainly better than some that have lingered in the top 10 this year.

I love everything except Gladiator now.

At 1:24 in Cinderella's Eyes, does anyone else hear a curious "pop" sound, like a new IM message came in on Facebook or something? :lol:
