Among the new tracks is the single "Love, Love" which features on the soundtrack to X-Men: First Class. Review Upon its November release, Take That's first Robster-assisted record since 1995 became the second-fastest-selling album in British chart history and garnered the one-time professional mop repositories the most positive critical notices of their career. Although it's since sold more than two million copies – a tally only Adele could legitimately wrinkle her schnozzle at – it's also become that most curious of beasts: the buzz-free blockbuster. When was the last time you heard anyone talk about Progress?Consequently, you can't blame this ten-legged national treasure for trying to remind us that it's more than just the summer's biggest live draw – especially when, for a band playing the album repackage game, Take That are feeling pretty generous. Following a template that Lady Gaga looked to with her Fame Monster reissue, Progressed couples the original 10-track album with a second disc boasting eight brand-new songs.Aside from nostalgic opener When We Were Young, which harks back to the group's pair of Robbie-free reunion albums, everything here sits comfortably alongside the original Progress chestnuts. Producer Stuart Price supplies the same electro-pop gloss and bombast; Messrs Barlow, Owen and Williams take a fair and square approach towards lead vocals; and the lyrics are frequently as cryptic as they are (unspecifically) apocalyptic. "We're waiting for the universe to end…" goes the hook to Man.Also present and correct is the sonic spunk that earned Progress its enviable school reports. Love Love stomps like a petulant teenager in platform wedges, Man dips its toes in industrial waters, and Aliens is almost big and barmy enough to fit onto Gaga's Born This Way LP. However, Gary and the lads haven't forgotten about the lump-in-the-throat stuff. Towards the end come Don't Say Goodbye and Wonderful World, Pet Shop Boys-esque electro-ballads with sentiments sufficiently heartfelt and all-encompassing to appeal to anyone from Louis Walsh to Tulisa Contostavlos.None of the new tracks is as quite as undeniable as Kidz or Happy Now, but neither does Progressed come off like a hodgepodge of offcuts from the original album sessions. Besides, it's hard not to be won over by the band's intentions here. For while Take That do need to sound this big – after all, they've got the movements of a 60ft mechanical man to soundtrack – they don't need to sound this interesting. Whatever the boys are doing to cool Robbie's itchy feet, let's hope they know how to make it last. --Nick Levine Find more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new window ## Images ![Progressed - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/416gtYGb0AL.jpg) ![Progressed - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41m1mKk5XkL.jpg) ![Progressed - Image 3](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2BgCQTgw0L.jpg) ![Progressed - Image 4](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41WQKMVd6SL.jpg) ![Progressed - Image 5](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41lMzizF07L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 37. Progress/Progressed *by S***R on 25 September 2014* Following their reform in 2006, Take That returned with "Beautiful world" and "The circus", both of which featured soft adult pop-rock/folk songs, developing from the pop-orientated material that established and made them a true sensation in the '90s. "Progress" sounds nothing like these 2 albums, being a straight-up electronic record with a more upbeat synth-driven sound. Continuing their way forward, the increasing maturity in lyrics, the beautifully written melodies, the gorgeous vocal harmonies, the experimental and soul-baring qualities, were quite a deparure altogether from the typical Take That style of former records, introducing them to a more adult audience. Singles "The flood" and "When we were young" rank among the group's finest moments, unanimously. Many were initially unpleasantly surprised upon the album's release. However, most soon came round to admitting that this change in sound was rather necessary for them as a band in order to take another leap forward. Inevitably, Robbie Williams' influence was also seen with reserve, causing both positive and negative criticism.Living up to its title, with "Progress" Take That broke new territory, and some records, too (the second fastest-selling album ever in the UK, and best-selling album of 2010 in Europe). The album is considered to be among Take That's boldest efforts, though it is not their strongest. This, "Progressed", the subsequent re-package enhanced interest, and boosted sales evenmore, resulting in total UK sales of 3 milion! Boasting 8 new tracks, most of them sitting more than comfortably alongside the original 10, "Progressed" ia a serious extension of, rathen than a simple addition to, the original set. A mention about the exquisite, minimalistic artwork, too. Both the yellow cover of "Progress"and the red of "Progressed", depicting the human/Take That evolution, are equally striking and bold, making a clear statement, and emphasising the context of the songs. "Progress" and "Progressed" not just reinforced the belief that Take That is not just a boy band anymore, but established them as an exciting band with creativity and longevity. Rather impressive, not just for their standards. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mature pop *by M***S on 4 May 2013* You've probably heard half of the songs on this album on the radio and you either like or don't like Take That. I bought this because it was relatively cheap and came with an extra disc on top of the 'Progress' album, so there were going to be more songs that I hadn't heard before. This is well-produced electronic pop music that appeals to me and Messrs Barlow, Owen and Williams acquit themselves well in their respective lead vocals. The songs you haven't heard on the radio are still a good listen and then there are the chart hits which impelled me to buy the album at all. In this age of widespread pirate music downloading, it's still worth buying an album like this because you'll get so much more than the chart hits. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take That - Not a Fan - but like the recent music *by T***2 on 21 July 2011* My wife is a Fan of Take That, although having listened to 'The Circus' album, which I thought was excellent, I purchased 'Progress' for her, however I did not think it was quite up to 'The Circus' standard, but it has grown on us both! When offered the new 'Progressed' MP3 Album for only £3.99, with eight new tracks, some of which are very good and should have been on the original. I decided it was good value for money and even the tracks, I didn't like to start with, are again growing on us! - If you ended up paying £8.99 for the album, when you already had the first one, then I guess you would be bit miffed, but £3.99 for 8 tracks, it is a new Album's worth of songs, with the original album thrown in free, or if you didn't get the original first time round, even greater value! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50457804-progressed](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50457804-progressed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
