Oh it's BRILLIANT. I might make a thread, I've spent pretty much my whole afternoon DJ'ing in the Popjustice room there. Rich will be pleased to know that I premiered Chart Music there for him, but less pleased to know it only just went into positive on the room vote!

 

If it was by Robyn they'd be wetting themselves lets face it :lol:

New Little Boots. :wub:

 

I actually almost WET MYSELF. I'm so excited. :D Need to hear this... Hands was amazing. :cheer:

Underrated gem

 

Yessss, that is actually my fav. Little Boots song. It is very much underrated, but I could listen to it for days.

'Meddle', 'Stuck on repeat' and 'Mathematics'' were amazing too....

it's weird why the album didn't get promoted...it was a classic.

It was about as 'classic' as a damp evening spent hanging around the chip shop!

 

I bloody hated the fascination with this persona-free non-entity back in the day. There's overrated and then there's Remedy. The mass love-in was baffling.

It was basically like a really good Kylie album. Make of that what you will.

^ Still awful then?

 

I liked a few tracks on the album but on the whole I found it pretty forgettable. Definitely not as good as most on here made it out to be!

I never got the Kylie comparisons one bit. Nothing alike musically and even Kylie's worst albums of the last decade (X or Aphrodite, you decide) stand head and shoulders above Little Boots' effort which was about as dry as burnt toast.

I really did get behind her for a while but once the album came out I was very disappointed. As Jack says there was no real presence or persona in any of her music. Her image was contrived and came across as very forced. I think she has the makings of a good music artist (perhaps not STAR QUALITY you want from a pop artist). The whole campaign was handled poorly. Launching her with 'New in Town' and with THAT video was totally at odds with the context they'd built up for her prior to making #01 on the sound poll. 'Stuck on Repeat' never getting a proper release. Dodgy videos a la 'Remedy' one could go on.

 

679 need to get rid of all this hyperbole, ill-fitting imagery and just know how to handle and market her in a better way. She too needs to make herself more likeable. She's always come across as slightly snooty and up her own arse to me. The mathematical, angular shtick worked for me as did her interest in synths. Geeky synth-pop queen might be a good theme to work towards.

 

Oh and I sort of get the Kylie comparisons. Not visually or persona wise but definitely with some of the tones and melodies musically. 'Earthquake' could easily have been a single for Kylie and better than any that she's put in the last few years...

'Meddle', 'Stuck on repeat' and 'Mathematics'' were amazing too....

lol, that would the next set of songs by her I enjoy from the album. Click, Mathematics, Meddle, Stuck On Repeat, Symmetry, and Remedy in that order are my primary fav. songs off the album.

 

 

I can't say in general that I agree about the album or her sounding anything Kylie though.

Hmmmm, that sounds like it has potential actually. Perhaps a little too pure pop for my liking but there's definitely something there to work with.
Oh my christ that sounds epic :o Don't worry Tirren, you are no longer alone with the Little Boots hyperbole, I am totally feeling this now!

I WAS NEVER ALONE PEOPLE JUST DENIED THEIR LOVE AFTER SHE FLOPPED

 

*desperately hides 'LB 4eva' tattoo* :(

I'm not really hearing anything special about that at all, the melody probably has potential but the rest of it not so much.
I recently got back into Little Boots :wub: Really loved Hands and also the tracks on the Illuminations EP in particular Not Now. I like this new snippet too :D
Also GET A NEW SIGNATURE

It was mine first FYI~

 

Changed it now anyway to the Janet Devlin one (as you can see).
