Q MagazineDec 20, 2010Rushes to the head aside, Progress is a triumph musically, conceptually, personally. [Dec 2010, p.100]
-
Dec 16, 2010Things 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.
-
Dec 16, 2010Epic, exciting, strange and unexpected, it's exactly what pop needed, but surely not quite what Gary Barlow had in mind.
-
Dec 16, 2010The real surprise is that this unexpected step from comfy balladry to something more interesting sounds quite natural – the only element that doesn't fit is the free-floatingly doomy lyrics, which foretell unspecified personal and global calamities.
-
Dec 16, 2010At its best, with the apocalyptic stomp of "SOS" and the dreamy tones of "Pretty Things," it's clear Progress is by far the smartest record that Barlow and company have put their name to.

Mar 10, 2011There is a tail-off in quality at the end, but every track still has a chorus that Swedish song factories would sell their grannies for and, most of all, there's a sense that Take That are genuinely challenging themselves here.
-
Dec 16, 2010It might not be the explosion many were hoping for, but Progress sees Take That exploring and experimenting.
