GOT THERE BEFORE ME.

Swoon.

LEAK.

It seems like Tom is the one who really likes El Mac. I'm not keen on his style and this is definitely a lot worse than his usual work (which is still meh). The artwork for LAMB was so right. COME ON GWEN, GET THE BOYS IN CHECK.

Born This Way far ECLIPSED all mainstream pop albums last year. It wasn't even close.

She's a bit fit like (in a trashy Yo-Landi way). That is all I can take from any of this.

I liked the artwork for Rock Steady, The Singles and Love, Angel, Music, Baby. I suppose Tragic Kingdom is a bit of a classic, too. No love for this or the rest. The song does sound amazing though. ONE MONTH TO GO. :wub:

'Play' is on the C-List on 6 Music. "Single" being released at the end of August. EXCITING.

Hate the artwork. Love the sound of the new song.

Should we be worried about No Doubt yet?

He needs to take his bloody actor hat off and make another FutureSex/LoveSounds. He somehow made interesting pop music despite being a bit of a plonker.

Why does that make me so happy? I wonder if they're going with Play to promote the album next month. Amazing.

WHAT?

This. The first thing I do when buying a song on iTunes is check the length. OH GOD IT IS 6 MINUTES LONG? NO THANKS.

The She Wolf lyric is so unnecessary and ridiculous. I don't quite get the fuss for David Guetta, sorry y'all.

How many artists hype/describe their album as one thing only for it to underwhelm or sound completely different? You'd have to be a little daft to believe she was actually making the album of the generation.

Major Lazer remix. Oh god I need to hear this out.

The word pretentious is thrown around way too much. It's such a lazy criticism. Her comment about Born This Way being the "album of this generation" was obviously misguided and moronic but she clearly gets caught up in her own hype. No regressing back to 'The Fame' sound please. Other than being well managed and successful I don't quite understand why it is held with such high regard. It's just a few dated hits scattered across a basic and generic album. Everything she has done since then has been infinitely more interesting. She's developing as an artist, she doesn't need to be Rihanna or Katy Perry. BASICALLY EVERYTHING JARK SAID.

His obsession with her is a tad creepy, non?

No Kill. :'( 4XtQJ-w31Dk F8X1obq-8ps mxen3tUfusQ 6nuWZytt2jU

Should I feel ashamed for absolutely loving this?

EeVyNEtbKPA XVDyzBztkCQ Well there we have it, she's an incredible live performer too. It makes me sad how they'll only play dead festivals with awful crowds. Imagine how mad Koko or Shepherd's Bush (etc) would be going with those two songs?!

I have it! It's absolutely ridiculous how much content and detail went into making it.
