I finally have my hands on a copy of the album I have been waiting for all year - Take That Progress. I have been a huge Take That fan since 1993 but they never really seemed to take off in Australia until back for good. Finally they were touring in 1995 and I got up in the dark to go wait for tickets only to find out a few hours later Robbie had quit, I was dissappointed as Robbie was my fave member but the show went on and it was a great concert.
Robbie of course went on to become a huge solo star and I finally got to see him live for the first time in 2001 (had to check myself out of hospital to go but there was no way I was missing finally being able to see Rob live). Take That got back together a few years ago and had great success with the albums Beautiful World & The Circus - The Circus live blu ray is excellent and its a shame they did not bring the tour out here.
I have listened to the album a few times and really like it, it has a little more rock edge to it than previous Take That albums but very very catchy. Some of the tracks that stand out for me area SOS, Pretty Things, The Flood & Eight Letters. There is also a hidden track that starts at 5.04 minutes into the last song. This album will no doubt be huge in the UK and I hope it takes off out here as I would love it if the Progress tour came here.
