"Gladiator" contains the most fiercest lyrics! "If my balls of steel have got stuck halfway down your pipe, i've got some KY.. time to open, open, open wide!" [/size]
I didn't realise she said that
Has anyone got their copy yet? And if so does the booklet have the lyrics in it?
I'm loving Take A Bite at the moment, brilliant album!

The album is AMAZING in full. I feel like crying I'm that proud, just like a proud parent.
I couldn't give a F%#* if this charts at #736. The material on the album is some of the best and most unique material I have heard in SO long, and it's even better knowing that she wrote it all by herself.
...A Nic stan till the day I die. <3 Nuhdeen and Cherly could nevah.
listening to the snippets on itunes now....really liking what im hearing so far!!! love both the singles too! shame the album isnt even in the top 200 on itunes despite a front page ad! wtf!
im gonna buy it for sure now, gotta support #TeamGinge
at Bad Girl giving Yo-Yo the lowest ranking, that's my fave!
It's not bad, i just find it too much safe and poppy (same as Lucky Day and Take A Bit) compared to the rest of the album. I prefer her most experimental tracks.

It was listed as a Partial Album. Wasn't a Buy button for it. It was absent from album chart but has now appeared in the top 40.
Beat Of My Drum
Ting Tings and then some.
Lucky Day
Sadly one of her only weak songs.
Yo-Yo
It sounds a bit sixties - Saint Etienne-ish but stronger chorus. Lovely.
Cinderella's Eyes
Marina meets Pet Shop Boys amazingness!
Porcelain Heart
Dramatic disco and BIG vocal, of course.
I
This is measured, cool and a bit sinister - sounds like arty synth legends Japan. Or Ladytron for a more modern relative.
Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime
Not essential - and her wavering voice is ever so slightly irritating. Production saves it. Coming after the brave I it's a bit of a misfire.
Say It Out Loud
And the bouncy, Ladyhawke/ Goldfrapp song! Would be a good single, i think though reviews don't seem to agree.
Gladiator
Tough semi-industrial bosh-pop! The much celebrated quote is a winner!
Fish Out Of Water
Like i said before, a mainstream artist making music this wonderfully alien-sounding is a joy to behold. The keyboard melody is hypnotic. This is the track that makes one think of Siobhan at her most out there.
Take A Bite
Nuts! More bosh-pop! Who are The Invisible Men? They should release their own album!
Sticks and Stones
Diana Vickers-ish sweet ballad with a brittle but courageous heart.
The album is getting unanimously great reviews - from 3 to 5 stars with 4 being the average. Would be great if she just built up a following from the rock fans, she could go on Jools Holland with these songs. I wouldn't be surprised if she got a Mercury nod, even. If only Lucky Day and Got To Learn weren't on it, it would be a perfect album.
