January 23, 201015 yr On first listen I cant say im overly impressed with this, it's decent but nothing too special.
January 23, 201015 yr I really like it now but still would prefer for her to just re-release Number 1 or Ooh La La :kink:
January 30, 201015 yr Believer >> Rocket. Rocket's nice but a bit pedestrian really compared to Believer :(
January 30, 201015 yr THAT SAID I didn't think A&E was all that on first listen. About two years on and I acknowledge it as one of the greatest pieces of music the last decade produced, so...
January 30, 201015 yr Yeah but A&E wasn't a bland retread of the early 80s. So far these two songs seem to be a dilution of what was produced during the Supernature era.
January 31, 201015 yr I generally love anything Goldfrapp do, I'm determined to see them on tour this year! Their stuff usually takes a little time to grow on you, but I think that's usually a good sign. "Rocket" is no exception, I hope this shapes up to be a nice hit.
February 2, 201015 yr Hmmm, they've kind of blown it with the dodgy, cheap-looking cover designs, but the actual music's the most important thing... "Rocket" is solid stuff...
February 8, 201015 yr Loving Rocket, already No.1 on my personal chart, the other track i heard 'Believer' was very good too.
February 8, 201015 yr I just listened to "Rocket" for the first time just now. I like it! Not disappointed at all!

Much better than the original (IMO) which still has failed to fully click with me. Loving this though^
February 24, 201015 yr Goldfrapp were on Radio 2's Radcliffe & Maconie show tonight (circa 21:15 Hrs for 20 minutes) where they played Rocket & Believer and talked about the new album. They also played (a common R&M show item with music guests) this non Goldfrapp track as representative of the new album. 59hkcS5wr9k
February 25, 201015 yr Author I like Rocket - but it's undoubtedly their flimsiest single to date - Christ, it even makes the appalling 'Number 1' sound like Bohemian Rhapsody. Alison Goldfrapp's unquenchable lust for fame and big hits has steered the 'frapp in my least favourite of their directions to date, I liked Rocket - but I'm completely bored of it already. And don't get me started on the repulsive amateur-ish tacky album cover. Yes, it's radio friendly, yes it's catchy as scabies..... but this is WAY below par for a band worth so much more. And each and every one of the 8+ mixes I've had sent to me so far is bloody shocking.
February 27, 201015 yr A great interview in the Times this weekend: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol...icle7041305.ece
