no way, the new stuck on repeat is way worse than the original.

and symmetry is embarassing.

I’ve listened to the album and I’d have to agree with the score. It’s certainly a very solid pop album, but little more than that. I disliked the choice of “New In Town” as the lead single, as it doesn’t stike me as appealing to the mainstream crowd OR the indie crowd.

My favorite songs are Symmetry (by far), Click and No Brakes. I loved Earthquake and Remedy at first but unfortunately, they bored me really fast.

Still, overall a very enjoyable album.

Thanks for the review and the mp3s

I’m loving Remedy – fun track! Although it does sound like she’s just giving the mainstream stuff that has been in clubs for a while. Although I can see the gay clubs eating Remedy up.

But yeah. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s well produced, well made pop music, which is an achievement in itself. It worked for Kylie.

But I kinda feel that this would have been a lot more amazing if it came out say, 2 years ago. But now with Lady GaGa and La Roux, the whole ‘pretty white girl does electropop’ is a bit… passé.

And is anyone going to say anything about that album cover?! Sweet wounded Jesus, it looks an ad for a hairdresser-cum-clairvoyant. Ug-ly.

I really liked the whole album. Perhaps some of the songs were not ground breaking or anything but that is never what Boots intended. She wanted to make a huge pop album with songs that she likes and will make people move and she accomplished that. More power to her for not caving into the expectations of critics and instead making her cd as she intended it. So, if you want artwork, go to the museum, if you want fun music, buy her cd.

I love “Stuck on Repeat” and the fact that she uses the Tenori-On beat machine for most of her songs is also pretty awesome. I do like Meddle, it’s sassy and fun. I saw her live at Le Poisson Rouge and the show was decent. Let’s hope the release of this album allows her to play more material in the future!

Earthquake is my favorite of these three. The music has more of what I was anticipating from this record than the other two. Not that Little Boots has an obligation to give us what we expect. Sometimes it’s good to get something different but I was hoping for more diverse arrangements and production than what I’ve heard so far. I would be really excited to hear an EP that was produced entirely by her. Still a really enjoyable dancy album and the remixes that are available are amazing.

Oh how fun! This is the kind of music that the listener can travel with; feel different emotions and, ulitmately, fall in love with. Little Boots should have a confident heart knowning that this album is not just for listening, it’s also for adventuring.
