Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...



Yes, that's right, I'm actually listening to the new Grimes. Right now. Saints preserve us.



The intro sucks and California is a contender for worst thing I've listened to this year...a bright start

oh lol England - honestly one of the countries I could never see myself live in - I dislike the societal and political tendencies too much. I've also heard the "corporate culture" is not too swell (people getting disciplinaries for being sick and other illegal or borderline illegal shit).



Probably a cool place to visit, though.

I smell a doof review.

Wolfy, yep it's the pits but what is unequalled is the Brit nature of laughing at ourselves and others and getting stuck in when it matters but most importantly always having a laugh.
I swear the place could be nuked and within a minute someone would have the tea on and would be thinking up a joke.

Oh, and I do like British dialects (including Scotland and Ireland here, can't comment on Welsh ones).

Zak I'll give her one thing - it sounds NOTHING like 'Visions'.



Can she plug the gap in the Christmas market for grown men too embarrassed to purchase the latest Katy Perry?

First six track ratings: (1) 1 (2) 1 (3) 2 (4) 1.5 (5) 1.5 (6) 1



Song 5 gets a bonus .5 for having a bit that sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks

Song 6 is a rank approximated J Pop travesty and takes the biscuit for worst song so far, for some reason she switches on what sounds liek a vibrator for the last 30 seconds of the song, dunno why it adds nothing

This makes Visions sound like Dark Side of the Moon meets Revolver in comparison



I have this sixth sense when a turkey approaches, I felt it when Muse dropped 'Drones' and its been flaring up ever since I knew this was approaching.



Track (7) 1.5 (8) 0.5...f*ck me track 8 is a new level of bad, seriously this would rival the worst songs on this year's Miley Cyrus

It's a life-changer



There are 14 songs...



This is actually way worse than I expected because I thought Scream would be a jokey throwaway tune but as it stands, 11 songs in, it's one of the best thing here.



Tracks (9) 1.5 (10) 2.5 - think she's wearing me down, this is like almost a fully written song, it's 5 minutes, it has quite a pleasant sound palette for once. Basically it sounds the most like Visions. It's no world beater but not too bad. (11) 1.5

I see we've met the anti-hype train. Somebody dig out Aids' trophy.

I didn't hype this album though. This is no reaction to hype, didn't much like Visions, this just jettisons anything at all worthy on that release as far as I'm concerned.



(12) 1.5 (13) 1.5 - quite nice instrumentation but woah, steady on the cheese in the vocals (14) 1.5



Overall 1.5/5 on first impressions

But I didn't not like Visions, I found it average hence the rating. She could have gone in a direction I liked more...she's gone in a direction I think absolutely stinks out the room.



People shouldn't be precious, artists can fall in and out of someone's favour during their career, you're not related by blood, you don't need to get the tattoo, there's zero obligation for loyalty.
