^^^ that’s actually an EP. Satin Chic wasn’t a single!

'Satin Chic' was fine but this last one is pretty dull oops. 'Time Out From The World' that is.

Ah ok thanks for that clarification, I wasn't sure when I saw it.

 

This next song sounds very atmospheric, I am all for it.

This song is certainly familiar, not sure where I know it from, but I am sure it was used in a TV show I used to watch.

Number 1 is an amazing single!

'Number 1' I wasn't feeling too much still but I remember it was a hit nonetheless.

Strong ending, this song is definitely growing on me.

Best RIWH worst TOFTW. Really good album on the whole and an enjoyable listen. :)

Exactly what I voted for!

Finished listening slightly out of order (as I missed the first 3 songs due to once again forgetting this was happening oop x) - a lot of this album was more lowkey than I was expecting, there weren't any songs that I particularly disliked but definitely feel like a few of them probably need more listens to click properly (I voted 'Time Out From The World' as my least fave on first impressions but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if that was one that grew on me with more time). Conversely there also wasn't much that I loved on here either to be honest, a lot of it was just sitting comfortably around the 6-7/10 range. 'Koko' was a great discovery though, was giving me Gary Numan vibes instrumentally which is always welcome! The single choices were definitely the obvious ones in terms of pop appeal but 'Ooh La La' was the only one I recognised and still my favourite of them.

 

First listen top 5:

 

1 Koko

2 Ooh La La

3 Lovely 2 C U

4 Fly Me Away

5 Let It Take You

 

(lol I see 'Koko' is the least streamed song on the album, look at me being all indie)

I missed the last one which was a remix but like last week will go over the album again on Spotify over the weekend!

If there's one thing I've noticed with all the albums so far (give or take with Blunt) is that all the first few songs start off very strong.

Who is next?

Me with my rock pick. Coming tomorrow x

Voted for 'Koko' as best for the same reason Brer said but the other three were equally as worthy of being top and 'Time Out From The World' least. On further listens I only don't care for 2 of these but even one of them is still not bad per se.

 

1. Koko

2. Ride A White Horse

3. Ooh La La

4. Lovely 2 C U

5. Beautiful

6. Fly Me Away

7. Slide In

8. Number 1

9. Lovely 2 C U Remix

10. Let It Take You

11. Satin Chic

12. You Never Know

13. Time Out From The World

Love that Number 1 got some love here too!

1. Ride a White Horse

2. Number 1

3. Beautiful

4. Ooh La La

5. Fly Me Away

6. Lovely 2 C U

7. Satin Chic

8. Slide In

9. Koko

10. You Never Know

11. Let It Take You

12. Time Out From The World

 

But honestly, 1-9 are interchangeable, as are 11 and 12!

Before I forget, here’s my rankings although I’m not sure if I would have changed the order slightly, but I didn’t really get as much into this album listenthrough as I had hoped so I apologise there, but nonetheless here goes;

 

1. Ooh La La

2. Satin Chic

3. Ride A White Horse

4. Lovely 2 C U

5. Let It Take You

6. Number 1

7. Slide In

8. Fly Me Away

9. Beautiful

10. Time Out From The World

11. Kook

12. You Never Know

 

Definitely would like to revisit all the Goldfrapp albums someday so hopefully I can hear all these songs again in my lifetime.

 

Thanks again James for doing this album review this week! :)

1. Beautiful (I just love it, pure electrifying. Shame it's not actually on the album proper)

2. Lovely 2 C U

3. Ooh La La

4. You Never Know

5. Satin Chic

6. Koko

7. Number One

8. Ride a White Horse

9. Slide In

10. Time Out From the World

11. Let it Take You

12. Fly Me Away (why the fook they chose this as a single will forever baffle me)

 

That top 9 is pure quality, with a pretty sharp divide after.

Seems Spotify agrees with 'Koko' as my top song as it's the only one appearing on my on repeat still and high up too.
