Anyone watching Season 4 of New Jersey?? God I despise Caroline so much, she's such a miserable hypocrit and despite Teresa always getting the bad edit I can't help but feel sorry for her more each episode.

'Spectrum' is still the only song for me that stands out, there's certainly nothing wrong with the rest but no urge to listen to the rest of it ever again after 2 weeks of trying with it.

The Dragonette tracks are all amazing, 'Big In Japan' especially with its 'Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha' vibes even though it sounds exactly like Hello to. 'We Came To Smash' and 'Big In Japan' would be good single choices after Ready To Go, though 'The Night Out' and 'Can't Stop' are single worthy to. Quick rate: 09.0 Hello (Ft. Dragonette) 09.0 Ready 2 Go (Ft. Kele) 09.0 The Night Out 09.5 Can't Stop (Ft. Dragonette) 05.0 Racer 21 08.0 We Came To Smash (Ft. DEV) 10.0 Big In Japan (Ft. Dragonette) 07.0 Get Away From You 09.0 Boys & Girls 08.0 Let's Not Play Games (Ft. Sunday Girl)

After nearly 48 hours to digest the album here is my rankings now from best to worst though the top three equally great: 09.5 Marry The Night - I never expected this to become my favourite but the chorus is so joyful, just brilliant, the middle eight of this and 'Hair' sound kind of similar to me though somehow? 09.5 Scheiße - RedOne & GaGa are nearly always a treat [Judasso the lack of RedOne on the album is dissapointing 09.5 Heavy Metal Lover - This really is the 'SHICD' of the album, so chill and the synths after the chorus are amazing. 09.0 Hair - This would be a 9.5 if it wasn't so long, 80's style done right, i don't know how anyone can hate on this. 09.0 The Edge Of Glory - Another that is just a bit to long for my liking, again everything else so great, even the cheesy saxophone has grown. 08.5 Government Hooker - I much preferred the remix, i preferred the fast pace and less in the way of the lyrics, still verging on brilliant though. 08.5 Americano - Competely bonkers and utterly addictive, theres nothing wrong with sounding like Eurovision. 08.0 Highway Unicorn - The verses are amazing, the song in general has grown so much. 08.0 Electric Chapel - The intro reminds me of The Excorcist, the 'Follow Me' bits remind me of another track but can't think of what it is, a {lac)chorus stops it from being amazing. 07.5 You & I - Another track that suffers from being to long, drags on a bit but its still very much pleasant on the ears. 07.5 Born This Way - Listening to this in context with the album made me appreciate this more, ignoring some dud lyrics its finally growing. 07.0 Judas - Still RedOne's weakest GaGa production, a poor Bad Romance rehash in the same way Money Honey rehashed Just Dance but like MH its just a decent track. 07.0 Bad Kids - I really do enjoy the verses and the middle eight but the chorus can't grow. 06.5 Bloody Mary - I can take or leave this, verges on filler for me yet its growing on me.

09.5 Marry The Night - The Chorus :heart: 07.5 Born This Way - Sounds suddenly much better in the context of the album? 09.5 Government Hooker - Shame this version is slower, ill have to create my own sped up version again :lol: 06.5 Judas 09.0 Americano 09.5 Hair 10.0 Scheiße - Amazing! 06.5 Bloody Mary 06.0 Bad Kids 08.0 Highway Unicorn 09.0 Heavy Metal Lover 07.5 Electric Chapel 07.5 You & I 09.0 The Edge of Glory Overall - Very solid album overall, peaks with Scheiße and loses it a bit after (Heavy Metal Lover & Edge Of Glory :heart:). Government Hooker, Marry The Night & Heavy Metal Lover for singles please, Scheiße is my favourite and should of been released over Judas but oh well.

Love this, the vocals on the verses could be better though.

I adored 'Sweet Mistake' from her last album, hopefully her album will be more in the vein of that.

Hurray for 7th :D best Lotopialands done in a while, never have much time to come online and follow things though these days.

The 'Turn It Up' parts sound so cheap and trashy still.

His album turned out amazing, i think its all RedOne produced. 'Say Jambo' for Number One this Summer please.

'Wish You Were Here' NEEDS to be 2nd single, its gorgeous.

Sent mine, not sure how it will do though.

This week's episode was weaker than the past few weeks have been for me.

The thing about this show is literally NOTHING happens yet it's still amazing thanks to the majority of the cast.

Best episode since Series 3 tonight for me, Liv has replaced Grace as my favourite.

I agree, it's been such a pleasant surprise.

Rather enjoyed it tonight, got better as it went along.

Rather like this, very 'Dynamite'/'Dj Got Us Fallin In Love' production wise though.

Will take a listen to the songs today :D

I thought it picked up towards the end, there's potential there, Grace is immediately a favourite.

'Maze' and 'Fight For You' are both screaming to be single choices, the songs with the fatured artists are the weakest other than 'Like This' with Iyaz.

Indeed her Dad was an absolute tool, a vile vile man.

'Touch' is one my favourite songs of the year though theres nothing else on this new album that stands out bar 'Neon Lights' and 'Weightless'. I still think 'Touch' needs to be released properly and given a good push, its far to great to not be given a proper chance.

Surprised there's not more love for her out there. 'Beating On A Better Drum' has grown to become my favourite, absolutely LOVE the moment when the chorus comes in just how deliciously dark and amazing the production is.

I thought i would give this a listen considering 'White Light Moment' is becoming one of my favourite tracks of the year after just a few weeks, here's my quick review: 09.0 Beating On A Better Drum - What great production, so dark, a strong opener. 08.5 Stalker In Your Speaker - Much more lightweight pop, infectiously catchy, the middle eight is the hightlight. 08.0 High & Low - Wow this could of came straight of a Visage 1980s album, very lightweight again, somewhat dreamy. 07.0 Million Pieces - This is one of them tracks that really works much better with the album, still nothing special though. 07.5 Chaos - The chorus to this is quite gorgeous, its let down a bit by somewhat bland verses though, plods along nicely though. 07.0 Bad Time For A Good Time - I cannot put my finger on what this reminds me of, i have no clue why her voice is somewhat Rachel Stevens esque in places, not a highlight anyway. 09.5 Close Enough - The production on this is brilliant, one of the biggest growers, rather fantastic from beginning to end. 09.0 Love You And Leave You - Again cannot fault the production, its a shame theres not more of a chorus because its all its lacking to make it perfect. 07.0 Four Elements - Somewhat Ellie Goulding esque, somewhat spacy, somewhat average verses, but a pleasant chorus indeed. 07.5 Walking My Daydream - I'd say pretty similar to above to be honest ^, nice but nothing special. 10.0 White Light Moment - Perfect pop, perfect production, so catchy and joyous, one of the best tracks of 2010. Overall: Well wow this album has some slick production, there's not a duff track on there and i suspect the weaker tracks will grow on me aswell, very matue indeed for someone so young.
