March 23, 201015 yr I've got to be honest and say it is in a battle with Supernature as my least favourite Goldfrapp album. As others have said it is not that it is a bad album, just that it is an unremarkable one which for Goldfrapp is criminal. Very disappointing. :(
March 23, 201015 yr I got this album a few days ago and it has really grown on me! "Hunt" is my fave right now!
March 24, 201015 yr That track near the end called 'I Wanna Life' is hilarious. I actually really like that one as well.
March 24, 201015 yr I quite like 'Dreaming' and 'Believer' but most of the album is such a let down compared to former glories. I think it's brave of them to go so far into 80s authenticity but unfortunately they've also managed to encompass the vacuous nature that plagues so many 80s tracks. So I guess you could call the project a success, just not one that I particularly want to listen to.
March 26, 201015 yr Listened to this back to back with Massive's "Heligoland".. Oh dear, what a contrast, and not in a particularly good way..... -_- Like Richard I'm hard pushed to decide whether this or "Supernature" is my least favourite Goldfrapp album.... If you really wanna hear something with genuine drama, it's not here... You'll find it in abundance with IAMX's superb "Kingdom of Welcome Addiction".... Well, providing it's actually been given a proper release in this country yet....

Well, providing it's actually been given a proper release in this country yet.... I listened to the two albums back to back as well. At first I wasn't particularly impressed with either, but I kinda liked "Heligoland" a little bit more initially. Then as I kept listening, I started liking "Head First" more, and still do. I do like both though. I like "Supernature"!
March 27, 201015 yr Author I agree - this album's a huge let-down. From the ghastly artwork in, it's lacking the beauty that Goldfrapp always have... which they even had on a few tracks from the superdud Supernature. 'Dreaming' is wonderful - but... that's about it. I've played this album twice through in the car.... and it kind of washed over me.... something this band have never done before. Possibly my least favourite of their albums, too.
March 27, 201015 yr I think it's an alright enough album, not up to their usual standard and I think it can be enjoyed if you don't take it at all seriously. I think it's refreshing to see them try something radically different but still, it's not the Goldfrapp I know and love.
March 30, 201015 yr http://i44.tinypic.com/244ny43.jpg 'Alive' is the second single, to be released May 24th.
