Well im sure by now we've all heard Apologize...their new tune Stop and Stare is really good which suprised me (thought they could well be a one hit wonder). So im really interesting to see if anyone has actually heard any of the album, and what its like if they have? The reviews linked to by Wikipedia arent great!

I've heard it and I think it has to be one of the best albums I've heard in ages. Say (all I need) is an amazing song too. There isn't a single song on the album I didn't like.

I don't like Stop and Stare, but I'm wondering if there are more songs like Apologize on the album. I liked their version better than the Timbaland mix.

I've not been on their myspace for a while but they had a few great songs up. I preferred "Stop and Stare" to "Apologize" but also liked "Goodbye Apathy" and "Mercy". The albums out in February in the UK so I'll be buying it then.

I think the collaboration with Timbaland was a great move, they have a big future this year.

^^

The physical release of 'Stop and Stare' is available today, the album is out next Monday.

I've listened to some more of their stuff on YouTube, and it's all really good. There's a few songs that are actually better than 'Apologize', and I will be buying the album next week.

Thanks - I'm thinking of getting it in Plymouth HMV later.

Is it good?

I'm still waiting on my copy (thanks Play.com ). The DS review isn't very good, but then they didn't think much of Apologize upon it's release and look what happened there. Based on the videos on YouTube, it should be really good.

Oooh Play.com are usually very good! They have been for my previous pre-orders anyway.

Did you pre-order it?

Yeah, I pre-ordered it on Friday, got an e-mail saying it had been posted Saturday, so I rather expected it to appear today. Never mind, it'll probably show tomorrow.

It may have been swept away with all the rough weather we've had!

So I finally received my copy today (I should've just paid the postage and used Amazon). Anyway, it's a great album. Although I obviously like some tracks more than others, I can honestly say there isn't a single track I genuinely dislike. I'm slightly disappointed in 'All We Are'. It sounds different to the version posted on YouTube, a little less powerful, a little softer perhaps, but it's still a great track. If anyone likes Apologize (the original version is good BTW), and Stop & Stare, I'd definately recommend you give the album a go.
