Exactly! This one isn't remotely "difficult" at all. It's just bland! |

Well, with cautious ears, I gave this a few spins last night and this morning. I really, really like it, and is absolutely beautiful in parts. I'm surprised that people are saying there are no strong songs here, as, to my ears, there are some lovely melodies in it. "Alvar", in particular, is glorious. That Cure-ish guitar sound really makes it. |

Yes, there are about 3 lovely songs, but far too many lacklustre ones. There isn't a single bad song on it, but too few gorgeous ones for me. The production is so uninteresting too. Pleasant, but nothing unexpected or creative, which is very unlike them. It's like a bunch of unfinished songs that needed more work. I'm not here for "ok" songs. I still think it's an extremely banal album. Glad you're liking it though. I wish I did too! |

Personally, I think most of the songs are far better than just "ok". I haven't stopped listening to the album all day. It sounded wonderful at my desk with the sun coming through. |

I must confess that the album has become a serious night time pleasure. |

Yeah, it's really lovely. So, those who weren't entranced by the album when it first came out, is it growing on you any? |

I still listen to this at least twice a week, and like I've said before, I've never really like Goldfrapp before. |

Album is at 3 in the midweeks. MUCH better than I expected. It'll drop during the week, but hopefully it'll manage top ten. |

Nah. "Drew" was released to radio, but only 6 Music playlisted it. |
