Review

This is the true Take That comeback, the one where Robbie Williams returns to the fold for the first time since 1995. When he split at the height of Brit-pop, conventional wisdom suggested that Gary Barlow would wind up as the runaway solo star from the British boy band, but things didn’t turn out that way. Robbie wound up as a superstar, the rest of the band reuniting without him in 2006, then admirably settling into an unthreatening adult contemporary groove on 2008’s Circus. Robbie’s return throws all that complacency out the window, with the band opting to follow the cool club and cocktail inflections of his recent work. It’s the right move, of course -- Take That was stuck in the middle of the road, and no matter how pleasant that path was, it was bound to provide diminishing returns commercially -- but the surprise is how effective the Williams-ization of Take That is on Progress. The rest of the band gamely follows his lead, meshing vocally as they used to, but the emphasis is not on harmonies, it’s on groove and texture, ballads taking a backseat to clever rips on Gorillaz or synthesized glam stomps. Things start to slow down toward the end of Progress, when Mark Owen, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, and Barlow get their own track to write -- each revert to type, Barlow stultifyingly so on the sticky “Eight Letters” -- but for seven tracks, Progress is the hippest and best music Take That has ever made. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Progress is the sixth studio album by British band Take That. It is the band's first album to feature Robbie Williams since 1995. The album was released in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2010. The album received positive reviews, with most critics commending the influence of electronic music and synthesizers. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the fastest-selling album of the century and the second fastest-selling album of all-time. Progress also became the biggest-selling album of 2010 by selling over one million copies in 24 days. As of June 2011, the album had sold 2.8 million copies in the UK. The album also became a commercial success in Continental Europe, where it charted within the top ten of twelve countries. Progress has been certified two-times platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for shipments of two million copies inside Europe. On 10 June 2011, the album was released alongside the EP Progressed, which features eight previously unreleased tracks.

Background

On 15 July 2010, it was announced that Robbie Williams would be returning to the band. A joint statement between Williams and the group said, "The rumours are true... Robbie is back... and to celebrate, we've written and recorded a new album, due for release later this year." On the same date, national newspapers printed the headline: "Following months of speculation, it has been confirmed that Robbie Williams is to make a return to Take That. Gary, Howard, Jason, Mark and Robbie have been recording a new studio album as a five-piece, which is due for release in November."[1] Work on the album commenced in September 2009, following the final date of their sell-out "Take That Presents: The Circus Live" tour. Shortly afterward, it was confirmed that, 'all five members of the band had met up, to begin writing the six songs which would set the foundation for the album.'[1] The album marks the band's 20th year in the Music Industry, as well as fifteen years since the release of the Nobody Else album, the last material the band recorded as a five-piece.[2] The album cover was photographed by Nadav Kander, who had previously photographed Barack Obama.[3] It mimics the iconic ape-to-man image, and has been positively received by critics.[4][5]

Release

The album was originally due for release on 22 November 2010,[6] however, the release date was later brought forward a week to 15 November 2010. Barlow claimed that the decision was made after "massive pre-orders for the album"[7] and after "analysing airplay and order data" with him revealing that "We've also never seen one of our singles played so much."[8] A Take That spokesman claimed the change in release was also due to "huge response to their press conference" where they announced tour dates[9]

Singles

  • "The Flood" was released as the album's lead single on 7 November 2010.
  • "Kidz" was released as the album's second single on 20 February 2011.[10]
  • "Happy Now" was released as the third single from the album on 18 March 2011.
  • "Love Love" was released as the album's fourth single and the first single from the double disc edition entitled Progressed.

Commercial reception

Prior to the release of the album it had become the most pre-ordered album of the year.[11] On the first day of the release the album sold over 235,000 copies across the UK, making it the fastest-selling record of the century.[12][13] On 21 November 2010, Progress debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the band's sixth number-one album. By the end of its first week on sale the album sold around 520,000 copies, which made it the second fastest-selling album of all-time in UK chart history.[14] In its second week, the album sold another 208,000 copies retaining the number one spot,[15] and in its third week it sold over 174,000 copies remaining at number one. The following week Take That sold over 200,000 copies of Progress retaining the number one spot for a fourth week.[16] On 8 December 2010, the album reached 1.009 million copies, taking 23 days to reach the figure—only four more than the 19 days it took The Circus to reach one million in 2008. Progress became the first album in 2010 to break through one million sales in the UK.[17] On its fifth week the album sold over 330,000 copies to stay at the top of the UK Albums Chart and become Take That's third Christmas number 1 album, having sold more than 1.4 million copies in under 5 weeks.[18] The album retained the number 1 spot for a sixth consecutive week selling over 433,000 copies, bringing total sales to 1.87 million copies and becoming the first UK number 1 album of 2011.[19] The album dropped to number two after a six week run at number one but still sold 350,000 copies to bring total sales to 2.22 million. In April 2011, the album finally reached the 2 million sells mark making the album having taken 139 days to do so.[20] It is the fourth album by the band to sell upwards of 2 million of copies, following Beautiful World, The Circus and Never Forget – The Ultimate Collection. This makes the band the only one to have four million-selling albums in the 21st century. As of June 2011, Progress had sold 2.8 million copies in the UK.[21] The album also debuted at number one in the Irish Albums Chart on 19 November 2010, making it the band's sixth number-one album in Ireland.[22] and at number one in Scotland.[23] Across Europe the album achieved success with it going to number one in Greece, Germany, Denmark (going platinum by selling 30,000 copies in its first week.)[24] and the European Top 100 Albums chart. It also debuted inside the top 10 of the charts in Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. It was revealed that Progress sold upwards of 100,000 copies in each of its 11 first weeks on sale in the United Kingdom, making it the first album to do so in UK music history.[25]

Virgin Media 7/10 stars[35]

Progress received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 81, based on 7 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".[36]

Q praised the album calling it "a triumph; musically, conceptually, personally."[37] Virgin Media gave the album 7 out of 10, calling it "a deceptively dark offering from the usually quite cheerful man band".[35] The Guardian gave Progress a rating of four out of five commenting that "Take That's first album as a quintet since 1995 is informed by two things: a genuinely new sound and Robbie Williams's seamless reimmersion into life as a band member, which is played out on emotional duets with Gary Barlow and Mark Owen" and concluding that "[Williams] and his bandmates have produced a noteworthy modern album."[32] BBC Music gave the album a positive review stating: "If the title of Progress suggests the band's new sound will be a merging and evolving of Take That Mk.II and recent Robbie Williams fare, the reality is startlingly different. Progress is something entirely new – Take That Mk.III – and the strangest, most ambitious and most exciting record its creators have ever been involved in."[27] Yahoo! Music UK awarded the album 8/10 and wrote, "It's all about Robbie Williams. His vocals dominant seven out of ten tracks, the keyboard heavy makeover has little to do with Take That and everything to do with his last three solo albums, and while the reunion has clearly done him the world of good, it doesn't seem like a fair and equal exchange."[38]

Adrian Thrills of Daily Mail praised producer Stuart Price for "pushing Take That towards new ­horizons without ­compromising their melodic power or ability to pen a ­sing-along chorus" and stated "Despite trying too hard in places, Take That deserve credit for taking risks."[28] Luke Turner of the NME gave the album seven stars out of ten stating the album is a "triumphant and quite crudely banging stadium synth-pop record" and praised Take That for "setting the pace [for other bands]."[39] In his review for The Independent, Andy Gill wrote: "Rather than pop balladry, the album leans heavily on electronic beats and textures, and reflects misgivings about science and humanity", rating the album four out of five.[33] AllMusic awarded the album four stars out of five stating "the emphasis is not on harmonies, it’s on groove and texture, ballads taking a backseat to clever rips on Gorillaz or synthesized glam stomps" and concluded "Progress is the hippest and best music Take That has ever made."[26] The Express gave the album a positive review stating, "Progress is a testament to the fact they know what they’re doing. This is classic pop that dips into R'n'B and rock, and it’s a job well done."[31] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph gave the album three stars out of five and said that Robbie Williams "seems to have infused his band mates with his very peculiar sense of fun. [...] But, be warned, it is not the Williams of Angels and Let Me Entertain You, it’s the maverick maniac of the derided Rudebox" and stated "They should be applauded for daring to deliver a laugh out loud, big, brash, electro stadium epic".[40] Entertainment.ie's Jenny Mulligan described Progress as "jammed with smart, stylish and irresistibly catchy tunes" concluding that "[the album] is a belter."[29]

Sputnik Music gave "Progress" 4 stars out of five stating that "on one dimension, it is mathematically composed with each sound and beat clean and shine, full of electronic soundings, on the other – it is an autobiographical story of Take That which at the same time can be interpreted as the evolution of the global society as a whole [...] four stars out of five are given for the album and its songs for being very clear, straightforward, understandable and, at the same time, far not meaningless – this is what pop-music was created for, wasn't it? In Russia many would suggest that a good music is when a listener can understand the meaning of the album without even knowing a word in a foreign language – in this Take That succeeded truly amazingly".[41]

Promotion

The band called a press conference at 10 am on 26 October 2010 in London, where they announced the Progress Live stadium tour for 2011, starting off in Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on 27 May and ending with a record breaking eight nights at Wembley Stadium, before playing 7 dates across Europe.[42] The band announced in early December four extra dates for the tour.[43]

On 13 November 2010,[44] ITV aired Take That: Look Back, Don't Stare, which focused on the reunited band through fly-on-the-wall studio footage as well as candid interviews. A DVD and Blu-ray release, Look Back, Don't Stare. A Film About Progress, followed on 6 December.[45]

Track listing

The main album's track listing was announced through the group's official site on 19 October 2010.[46] Two special versions of the album were available. The Deluxe version of the album comes encased in a three-sided gatefold wallet, which also contains an additional 12-page album booklet and five portrait cards.[47] The Super Deluxe version of the album contains a bonus DVD containing the documentary Look Back, Don't Stare, as well as six super art prints of the band.[48] A double disc edition was then announced on 19 May 2011. The first disc features the main Progress tracklisting, whilst the second disc consists of a mini-album, Progressed, which contains eight new songs. This version of the album was released on 13 June 2011.[49] "Eight Letters" samples the song "Vienna" as performed by Ultravox and written by Midge Ure, Chris Cross, Warren Cann and Billy Currie.

All songs written and composed by Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams.
