Yeah, if I didn't like this album all that much, I was going with the summary:



"If this is the Sound of 2010, then bring on 2011"

Neither of the 2 singles really catch my attention but I might check the album out anyway, mainly because this is a good review.

I don't get the insane amount of hype surrounding her though, she pretty much didn't exist and then suddenly everyone in the music industry was bumming her to hell.

The start of the album was good but as I listened to it, I was kind of annoyed by the Auto-Tune sounds. Good review though.

"Neither of the 2 singles really catch my attention but I might check the album out anyway, mainly because this is a good review." Yeah, still check it out Dogget. Like I said earlier, I'm usually a singles man and even I have not placed the 2 lead singles in the best 4 songs here. The opener & upcoming 3rd single is clearly the best song on the album imo. The closer is next.



"I don't get the insane amount of hype surrounding her though, she pretty much didn't exist and then suddenly everyone in the music industry was bumming her to hell." Agreed. I'm just putting it down to the typical British press & the like.



"The start of the album was good but as I listened to it, I was kind of annoyed by the Auto-Tune sounds. Good review enough though." Yep, I agree with that to some extent. It definitely goes overboard on occasions (as I said in the penultimate paragraph of the review).



"bc she looks hot and it had "nu" in the description" Sooooo deep. LOL.

The only way this would ever get more than a 2.5 is if I began rating with my penis instead of with my ears/brain.











It'd probably be around a 4.3 if that were the case.

No, but the google images follow up that the cover inspired surely does.

Ahhhh, can't say I have gone that far in my research for this review. Hell, I don't think I've even seen one of her videos!

Hmm, nu-folk and electro-pop eh? Sounds like an interesting mix. I'll check her out.

Good review as well.

You see, my good word won't lead you too far astray. Good to hear it was worth your time... & it may even grow on you a little.

Oooh, theacademy likes it.



Alt-Pop huh. Interesting genre labelling.



Forgive my ignorance, but who recorded 'The Listening'?

I downloaded this and actually wish it had been ripped at a lower bit rate so I would have less suck in my ears.
