Just listened to "Towers" and it slayed my soul. The vocals in the last chorus

I am in love with this track. I think this would be the type of track that could realistically get objective positive reception stateside, and radio play.

What frustrates me a little bit, is that as good as we all know the album is, we are checking because we follow LM anyway. I'm worried that they still have so many preconceptions to hurdle, coming off of X Factor (strike one), being a pop girl group (strike two), young female demographic (strike three). To the objective music consumer/non-follower, there has been plenty of indication that Little Mix is talented, yet you go to articles about them and radio performance videos like (Live Lounge) or twitter, and you still get such a general populace of people who have knee-jerk and concretely written them off. Amongst everyone I know back home in UK, they are not to be taken seriously.

I don't want people to sleep on this album, but I don't have a lot faith (in general demographic) that they can overcome stereotypical views that plague even some of the most successful acts facing the same obstacles (JB ... 1D)...not enough anyway, to achieve what I think they should.

I've followed them since they came off the X Factor, which I had really only watched for Kelly Rowland. I'm glad I did though. Besides having that mess that is Tulisa, Little Mix have really grown into a great group. I love the album and am really happy to see them taking influence from some of the previous rnb girl group greats. I really like that they are all lead singers, but I do feel Perrie took more of a backseat to Jade on this album. Anyone else feel like that? I love Perrie's voice now but I do admit I miss her old vocals a lot too.

It's going to take time but I do understand what you are saying it can seem very discouraging but I really hope with album and future releases people start to take notice of them and stop trying to automatically discredit them because of the factors you mentioned. I hope the U.S appreciates and get into them more than the UK because they're such a talented and strong force. We'll have to see but I really need Columbia and their management to step it up with the promo and get them out there when it's released in February.

I have seen a few comments where people are starting to give them a listen especially with "Move" before trashing them so it's a start.

"Boy"
"Salute"
"See Me Now"
"Competition"
"Mr. Loverboy"
"Move"
"These Four Walls"
"Nothing Feels Like You"

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS!!!

Can't wait to receive my copy today I really hope that the delivery man won't come as late as he usually does

[feuxtography]

KSJDFLKFSDj wait at this album. I just can't.

What kind of slayage? I would never guess this was the same group that released DNA.

[Shy Boy]

Little Me is all but confirmed as the next single. They have to push it before Christmas. So what are we thinking for the 3rd single? I'm leaning towards Nothing Feels Like You right now.

You give me faith my friend. Thank you. Positivity is key.

"Stereo Soldier" was one of the best tracks on DNA so I'm really happy they decided to expand on it with this album. I think the mixture of R&B, pop, and carnival is really interesting and it works surprisingly well. I also love the jazz influences in "Stand Down", it doesn't feel forced and the percussion smoothly ties in with the rest of the album. It's brilliant, and definitely a nice surprise twist just to make the album that little bit more epic, as if we hadn't been slayed enough.

!!! This.
Stand Down is one of the best songs, I'm kinda pressed they put it on the deluxe. Single worthy!

Not a good track, all of them are amazing. I can't get enough of this album. I listened all hours at school.

Mr. Loverboy sounds like something on Ariana's album
They bring back a lot of 2000s r&b sound

[*-ChriZ-*]

They simply need a Grammy-Performance and a VMA-Performance next year to be finally seen as the awesome girlgroup they are! They need worldwide acclaim!

I love the album Got my copy today
