I think it's good A very different sounding album compared to her first - Which is good in some ways and bad in others.

I love the track "F**k you". Basically because it has a really catchy tune and she tells all the racist and homophobic people "**** you"

I love it. My only complaint about it is that when "F--k You" gets into my head it is utterly impossible to get out.

Yes, so much so that she had to get permission to include it and it credits all four of Take That on the album sleeve.

Kabul Sh*t is an excellent song and IMO deserves a place as an actual track on the album.

I like it . . . . . "F**k You" is a really catchy number, but I can't see it getting too much airtime on Radio 1 . . . .

The Intro to "F**k You" sounds suspiciously like a cross between The Carpenters' "Close To You" and the "Neighbours" theme . . .

It's definitely sampled from 'Close to You'. Reminds me of her sampling 'Puppet on a String' for the intro to 'Alfie'. Works very well I think in both cases.

I've listened to it a couple of times now and I love it. It's very catchy and very funny

Although at the moment my favourite is still Kabul Shit . Why wasn't it on the album????

F**k You is definately single material, but the subject matter will probbably prevent it from happening . It's a fantastic song

What would the radio friendly version be? Flip You?

After several plays I still prefer her album. Anyway for me the stand-out tracks are The Fear, 22 and F**k You is so catchy. Won't ever be a single though. You can edit odd words like they did with the Smile single but there'd be nothing left of that!!!!

I think it's very mediocre, to be honest.

I think it's a fantastic album, miles better than her first.

I agree that 'F*ck you' is brilliant but it'll never get released as a single. My personal favourite (leaving out The Fear because we all know about that) is 'Back To the Start' but '22', 'Everyone'a At It', 'Him' and 'He Wasn't There' are all great and could be released. The only weak song I think is 'I Could Say'.

9/10.

I seem to be the only person who's not keen on Everyone's At It.

Someone was playing this at work today. It is very different sounding and has electronic elements. I think I like it more than the first album. The Fear is a lowlight on the album, which is good because it didn't impress me as a single.

First album I've brought since November 2007.
Absolutly love it!
(I never used to like her much before, except for a couple of songs, but this is really good!)
