Excellent review as always. I only listened to this once but was pleasently surprised by how much I enjoyed parts of it.

Been looking forward to this one. "Under the Sheets" on Jools was pretty epic. Nice review, need to get this soon..

Deviant, I think there may now be another applicant for the Head Sputnik Club Afficionado now.



"Does she keep up that awful mockney voice all the way through?" Unfortunately for you Nick, she does for the most part. It works better on some tracks than others though. Remember that those advertising snippets are likely to be of the first 2 singles, neither of which are highlights imo.



Thanks Yeti & no probs NiceInvader.



Thanks Ali. I'll admit I also had this as a 3 on first listen since not enough jumped out at me... But a few songs grew on me on subsequent listens.



Definitely worth a listen Rudy. Unsure how much you'll like it, but there's a good chance you will to some extent.



I don't think her 'Later With Jools' episode has hit Oz yet (or I missed it), but I am looking forward to hearing her live.

The word 'interesting' can be taken in so many ways. Care to elaborate ss...

Good on ya Trey... The last time I (fleetingly) listened to a radio (for music) was last century. 2007 or 2008 from memory.
So that's why your best of the decade is only going to have 30 albums ;) I'm just messing with you. On a crappy note, though, apparently this isn't out in the states yet (yeah, who knew I was going to buy this and not just steal it).

Songs weren't really my thing. She has an interesting voice and all, but the songs just didn't hold my attention. If you've got a thing for female vocals and slightly more 'clubby' than this you should check out Late Night Alumni Skippy, could be your thing

"Your review caught my interest. Happy?" Haha... I'm always happy.



"On a crappy note, though, apparently this isn't out in the states yet (yeah, who knew I was going to buy this and not just steal it)." You Americans are always slow... It's all that junk food you eat.



"If you've got a thing for female vocals and slightly more 'clubby' than this you should check out Late Night Alumni Skippy, could be your thing" Nope, this is about as clubby as I want to get.

You're missing out haha. No, in all seriousness though review was great as always. I probably won't be checking the whole album out, the songs I heard didn't move me in any way

Damn it! It's only Jack in the Box. If you ever come to a part of the country with that place then eat there. It's awesome. Also, I'm currently listening to that Late Night Alumni stuff on their official site - very chill, I like it. I'll have to get back to you on this, though.

Deviant, you stick to the Boiler Room while I'm at the main stage.



Trey, I had my fair share of junk food while I was travelling around the states in '05. "Would youy like to super size your order Sir?"

No Jools at all here in the US - but we do have YouTube. Usually have to wait half a year for this kind of stuff to finally get released; end up paying twice the price for an import (I also buy hard copies).

She seems to be this year's Little Boots. Was excited for the full length, but didn't quite live up to expectation. Curious to see if that's how I'll feel about this.

"Hey man, I alternate!" Leave your sexual preferences out of this thread please.



RobotFrank, it always amazes me that with your 500 channels over there in the States, one of them doesn't have such a show. A couple of channels here play 'Later With Jools', one more updated than the other.



As for being this year's Little Boots, a case can definitely be made for that. There's something a bit more different/ambitious about Goulding though.
