For some reason, it really bothers me that she's stuck "Some Girls" on there. Well I doubt it was her personal choice, but by havnig 4 previous singles on the album (and not even having "Some Girls" as a bonus track on the end) it means we'll probably only get one more single off the album, maybe two or a double-A side if we're lucky.

I've listened to the clips of the album that have been floating around, and I've got to say I'm kind of disappointed in the album. I was really hoping they'd go more with the dancepop stuff in the vein of NWL, rather than the jazzier dance of "So Good".

Fook! They changed the wonderful, sexy cover to a mediocre cover...... WTF were they thinking? The new cover does not make me want to "Come and get it"!

I'm personally loving the album. Nothing Good About This Goodbye is fantastic and I really like Crazy Boys too. I'll have to import this baby.
Peace, Ben

According to sclubmedia.net there's also going to be a special edition with a dvd. It will contain the following videos: DVD: 1. Sweet Dreams My LA Ex - Promo Video 2. Funky Dory - Promo Video 3. Some Girls - Promo Video 4. More, More, More - Promo Video 5. Negotiate With Love - Promo Video 6. So Good - Promo Video Granted, I already have all of these, but it'd still be nice to have them on a dvd! Oh, and I'm now obsessed with Dumb Dumb. Peace, Ben

Posted @ www.rachelstevensonline.com : BBC Music review of 'Come & Get It' Posted on Saturday, October 1 2005 by Tony Discuss This News Article On The Forums Bold, Swaggering and Accomplished - three words you would perhaps not expect to hear when talking about Rachel Stevens; but these are fair comment when describing her sophomore album 'Come and Get It'. Quite simply, it's the pop album of the year and a far cry from the wilting 'Funky Dory'. In 2005 dancefloor-driven electronic pop has dominated the charts. Goldfrapp have broken into the mainstream and become the success of the year in credible circles. Over in pop land Rachel has been adopting similar sounds and releasing songs that, if she weren't Rachel Stevens, would be lauded by critics everywhere. Opening with euphoric floor filler 'So Good', this is the first of many songs that make 2004's 'Some Girls' - her so far career defining song - sound ordinary. Richard X appears again as producer in the much anticipated 'Crazy Boys.' Without lyrics as suggestive their first collaboration, this does not disappoint, as Rachel moodily broods over love. And who could ignore the slutty 'I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)' packing fun and rebelliousness into 4 minutes of power pop. But it's not just dancefloor stompers that the Stevens can do so well, two of the most memorable songs are the uplifting, minimalist 'I Will Be There', with production values reminiscent of Kylie's 'I Believe in you', and the sultry 'Nothing Good About This Goodbye', penned by Alexis Strum. Nearly every track on the album could be a single, with 'Secret Garden' and 'The Cure's sampling 'All About Me' falling slightly short of the mark. But the strength of the other songs let us forgive her these. Come and Get It is quite simply a pop tour-de-force that deserves to sell a billion copies. Please, don't let this end up as a forgotten classic.

I am having a friend order my copy of the limited edition, since I no longer use a credit card. I'm most excited for it to arrive. Too bad something like this will never be released here. It gets better each time I listen to it. My new current favorite is "Every Little Thing." If the public doesn't eat this up, I just don't get it.
Peace, Ben

I ordered my copy today! It should come in a week. :) I got the regular version since I'm not a fan of her dead cheap vids! My favorite Rachel vid is "Sweet Dreams (My LA Ex)" but I can live without it.

You probably wouldn't be able to play it anyway, unless you hack into your DVD player. Even if it's a region free or region 0 DVD it's probably in that stupid PAL format or something.

Actually, region 0 plays just fine in my computer's DVD player. It happened with Delta Goodrem's first album DVD. Also if you have those cheapy DVD players from Asia u can play just about anything.

Ahh it's doing so poorly in the midweeks. :(
However Rachel said the next single will possibley be the best track on the album, 'Crazy Boyz.' However Alexis Strum, the writer of, 'Nothing Good About This Goodbye,' said that was the next single.

Enters at #28, 9,394 copies sold. Another single is not likely as Rachel said the promo for the album is coming to an end.
Shame on everybody who did not buy a copy. SHAME on you.

On the bright side, "Nothing Good About This Goodbye" is gonna be the next single. It'll probably be her last. Supposedly the scheduled date is December 5th, but there hasn't been like any promotion for it yet. If they have any brains they'll wait until January, where sales suck all around and she might have a shot at top 10.

I don't know if it's more important to sell more or having a top 10 hit. I think the record company will want more sales around xmas time with this single.
At the rate of dropping, the album will out of the top 200 in less than a month.
