I recently purchased this without reading any reviews and was pleased to see how quickly I have come to love it. I was a bit worried because I have listened to his second CD "Ready for the Weekend" so much and the next one can often be a let down. Calvin Harris' third full album is anything but a let down, for me anyway.

There are quite a number of songs with artists like Kelis, Elie Goulding, Florence Welch, Rihanna etc. I thought perhaps there would be quite a bit of filler, but like the previous album, I find myself constantly listening all the way through instead of clicking past some tracks. And despite all the collaborations with big names, I quite love the pieces on his own. While "Mansion" and "School" aren't high-energy stunners, they work, and in some ways the toned down aspect acts to "clear the air" a bit, so the album has some mildly chill moments.

If I were forced to pick favourite tracks, I might say "Bounce", "Feel So Close", "Here 2 China", "We'll Be Coming Back" and "Thinking About You". But honestly, I love it from start to finish.

Such a good album - It has all the anthems that have brought him to the mainstream and have turned him into a hit machine. These are absolute bangers start to finish please do yourself a favour and just buy it you won't regret it.

good cd, cant wait to have it pumping out my car when i pass. some tracks are a little dull but in gerneral a good product.

Nothing wrong in an album stuffed with singles but it simply does not work as an album experience. If anyone can sit through this in one sitting then you need to get out more.

well the lyrics to the first song goes like this..... oh.......oh.......oh...... all the way through! the only decent songs are the collaborations with the other artists, most of his other songs dont have any lyrics at all!

Really good tracks,as always, great for the gym, really recommend this album,good choice of collaborations.can't wait for his next peice of genius.

18 months might as well be called "Now that's what I call music!" for I could care; the majority of the tracks here have been released as singles and have been broadcasted on radio stations nationwide.

The songs themselves are very good, with tracks like "We found love" and "Bounce" being rather catchy. However when Harris doesn't have a guest artist to populate his songs, we approach album filler territory. ("Green Valley" and "School" being excellent examples.)

The variety of artists in this record help deviate the somewhat repetitive style to most of the songs; retro beeps and electronic drums dominate throughout.

If you've bought the singles, don't bother buying, your not missing much here. As a standalone album, it would have been better. It's a shame that I will recognized most of the album just by reading the track-list.

Ordered this the minute I heard it was being released. I wish though that I had ordered the deluxe version instead as it includes a second CD of a complete mix of the first. For a few quid more it's definitely worth it.

Have been waiting for this release since May....well worth the wait!! Cracking! Will have you dancing xxx Want to see him now......

Awesome album, really want to see him live now. I can't stop listening to it drinking from the bottle is amazing.
